TL;DRThis blog explains how Dysport works, how long it lasts, and what factors affect its longevity. It also outlines what to expect during treatment and how results typically progress over time.
This blog includes:
Dysport is an injectable treatment that helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face. It works by relaxing the underlying muscles, which smooths out the skin above. This treatment is often used for frown lines, and can also be used for crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, other dynamic wrinkles, and non-surgical brow lifts.
Like other neuromodulators, Dysport typically lasts about four months. Some people may be able to enjoy their results for longer, while others may want to come in more often for additional treatments to keep their skin smooth and wrinkle-free skin.
Dysport uses a form of botulinum toxin type A as its active ingredient. This purified protein targets the nerves in the muscles that cause wrinkles. The specific formulation in Dysport treatments allows it to spread evenly and provide consistent wrinkle reduction.
Dysport blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. When injected into the targeted muscles, it prevents these muscles from receiving the signal to contract. This temporary relaxation of the muscles smooths out the overlying skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The effects gradually wear off as the body naturally metabolizes the toxin, which is why regular treatments are used to maintain the desired look.
Everyone’s body processes substances differently, and this includes Dysport. If you have a fast metabolism, you might find that the effects of Dysport wear off more quickly. This is because your body breaks down and eliminates the toxin faster than someone with a slower metabolism.
The level of activity in the muscles treated with Dysport can also impact how long the effects last. If you frequently use the muscles around the injection site, you might notice the effects wearing off sooner. High muscle activity can accelerate the breakdown of the neurotoxin.
Your natural muscle tone can influence the duration of Dysport results. Stronger, more active muscles tend to return to their pretreatment state faster than less active muscles. This is why people with more pronounced muscle activity might require more frequent treatments.
Habits like smoking and alcohol consumption can affect the longevity of Dysport injections. Smoking can reduce blood flow to the skin and have an aging effect on the tissues, which can impact the longevity of results. Excessive alcohol intake can also affect overall skin health, potentially diminishing the results of your injections.
A balanced diet and good nutrition can support longer-lasting Dysport results. Nutrient-rich foods promote healthy skin, which can enhance and extend the effects of the treatment. Poor nutrition can have the opposite effect, reducing the treatment’s duration.
Staying well-hydrated is essential for maintaining the longevity of Dysport results. Adequate hydration keeps your skin supple and helps maintain its elasticity, which can enhance the effects of the treatment. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, may show signs of aging more quickly, potentially shortening the duration of Dysport’s benefits. Drinking plenty of water and using moisturizers can support your skin’s health and prolong the smooth, youthful appearance achieved with Dysport.
Your daily skincare routine can keep the results of your Dysport treatment looking fresh for longer. Using high-quality skincare products and protecting your skin from sun damage can help prolong the effects by improving the elasticity and resilience of your skin.
Regular maintenance is one of the easiest ways to keep your Dysport results consistent. Scheduling follow-up treatments before the effects completely wear off can provide the perfect balance between a natural look and smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

Your first Dysport treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and medical history. After cleansing the target areas, a numbing cream is applied. The injections, administered with a fine needle, take only a few minutes and may cause a slight pinch or pressure. Post-treatment, you can resume most activities but should avoid strenuous exercise and lying down for a few hours. Mild redness or swelling at the injection sites is normal and subsides quickly.
