Dysport once a year usage? Is it safe?

Hello, and thank you for the question. There are no consequences from using Dysport once per year. The only issue is that the Dysport will last an average of 3 months and you will not see the result for the remainder of the year. To achieve the best result with Dysport, it is recommended to seek the advice of one of the following board certified physicians:1) Dermatologist2) Facial plastic surgeon3) Plastic surgeonI hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck. 

No problem or worries with having Dysport, Botox, or Xeomin just once a year. The problem is that each will stop working in 3-4 months after the injection and so you may not be happy with the wrinkle lines re-appearing while you are waiting for the next injection. Most patients come back every 3-4 months when needed.

In general, Dysport lasts for an average of 3 months. You can certainly have treatment with Dysport once per year. The only issues with this are as follow:1) The effects of the treatment will wear off before the year is over2) You may not be satisfied with the result after the treatment has worn offThere are no specific consequences besides the Dysport wearing off. I would recommend choosing a board certified physician to perform your injections. Thank you and best of luck.

You can definitely have treatment with Dysport once a year in a safe manner.  Dysport works to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles during facial expressions - in your case during frowning.  During the 3-4 months that Dysport is active, this muscle is getting smaller and weaker.  This means that even if you were to only treat once a year, the muscle will be weaker and the wrinkles less prominent than before.  

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin typically last 3-4 months. The only consequence to using the products once every year is that your muscle movement and lines will return to normal about 8-9 months out of the year. They will not be worse but you will spend 3/4 of the year without the benefit of any treatment that diminishes the lines and muscle movement that trouble you.
