Dysport®
Fast-Acting, Natural-Looking Smoothing
At Radiance Rx, we offer Dysport® treatments in Apex and Pittsboro for patients seeking a soft, natural-looking result with a quick onset. Whether you’re smoothing frown lines or giving your forehead a subtle refresh, Dysport® is known for its graceful, touchable finish—and no downtime required.
What Is Dysport®?
Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a neuromodulator—similar to Botox®—that works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines (the “11s” between the brows), it’s also used off-label to smooth forehead lines, crow’s feet, and more.
What sets Dysport® apart? Its unique formulation allows it to spread more easily across larger treatment areas, making it ideal for broad zones like the forehead. Many patients also notice that Dysport® kicks in fast, with visible effects often beginning in just 2 to 3 days.
What Dysport® Treats
Dysport® is a great choice for both first-time injectable patients and regular users looking for a fresh, fast-acting alternative to Botox®. We commonly use Dysport® to treat:
- Frown lines (glabella/”11s”)
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (outer corners of the eyes)
- Bunny lines (sides of the nose)
- Neck bands (platysma lines)
- Masseter reduction for jaw slimming
- Gummy smile
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Lip flips
- Dimpled chin (mentalis)
Why We Love Dysport®: Top Benefits
Dysport® is known for its smooth, natural finish and fast onset. Here’s why it’s a patient favorite:
- Fast results
Most patients notice results within 2 to 3 days—sometimes even sooner. Full results typically appear within 7 to 14 days. - Natural-looking movement
Dysport® softens lines without stiffening expression, allowing you to frown, smile, and emote naturally. - Wider diffusion for broad areas
Its lighter formulation spreads slightly more than Botox®, making it ideal for smoothing larger areas like the forehead with fewer injection points. - Minimal downtime
Treatment takes 20–30 minutes and has little to no downtime—perfect for busy schedules.
Subtle yet effective lift
When used strategically, Dysport® can also lift the brows, soften neck bands, and slim the jawline for a more defined, refreshed appearance.

FAQs: Dysport® at Radiance Rx
How is Dysport® different from Botox®?
While both are neuromodulators derived from botulinum toxin type A, Dysport® has a slightly different formulation. It spreads more easily, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. It also works faster for some patients.
What should I do to prepare for my Dysport® treatment?
- Avoid alcohol for one day beforehand
- Stop taking blood thinners, NSAIDs, vitamin E, or fish oil for one week (if medically safe to do so)
- Skip dental work within 2 weeks of your appointment
- Consider taking Arnica or bromelain 2–3 days before to reduce bruising
What should I expect after Dysport® treatment?
- Avoid alcohol for at least one day after treatment to minimize bruising and swelling.
- Do not lie down for at least 4 hours
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for 12 hours
- Refrain from intense exercise, heat exposure, or flying for 24 hours
- Skip dental work for 2 weeks post-treatment
We recommend a follow-up visit 2 weeks later to assess your results and make any needed refinements.
