How Long Dysport lasts for wrinkles on the forehead.

Dysport lasts approximately as long as Botox which is about 3-4 months. Other sources report that Dysport lasts between 4-6 months on average. It is perfectly acceptable to have Dysport procedures back to back if you do not want to experience an intermittent time interval where the effects have worn off. Some patients prefer to let the Dysport injection completely wear off before receiving their next treatment. However this is a matter of personal choice. see video

Dysport and Botox: duration of effect

Thanks for the question. There are five areas I commonly treat with Dysport and Botox: 1) horizontal forehead wrinkles 2) vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows 3) crow's feet 4) platysmal bands (neck bands) 5) masseter (bite) muscles: to reduce teeth grinding (bruxism) or shrink the jawline in patients with large, square jaws. The effects of these neuromodulators usually last between 3 and 4 months though many of my patients have been able to break the habit of... more

Dysport effect lasts about the same time as Botox

Since all wrinkle relaxers work the same way (Dysport, Botox, Xeomin) the effect lasts about the same. The reason is that they cause a change in the conection between the nerve ending and the muscle it activates, and it takes the body about 3-4 months to re-establish the connection. It is often a good idea to do all areas at the same time so that there isn't an imbalance as they wear off.

Dysport Longevity

My experience with Dysport is that it lasts about 3 months, basically equivalent to the longevity seen with Botox.

Dysport lasts 3-4 months

Like other neurotoxins (Botox), Dysport lasts about 3-4 months. If you had one area treated (like the glabella) and wanted to have another area treated separately (like the crow's feet), that's totally fine. Many people come in for one main area to be treated and like it so much, they return to treat the rest of the forehead and crow's feet separately. If you're asking if you need to alternate being Dysport and Botox (like receive Dysport, then the next treatment receive... more

How Long Does Dysport Last?

Hello. The duration for Dysport is not significantly different than Botox. 3-4 months is normal. In our practice we get slightly longer duration with Dysport because we use a conversion ratio of 3:1, 3 units of Dysport for 1 unit of Botox. This is slightly higher than 2.5 to 1 that would be used if going by the FDA approvals. We can afford to do this because Dysport is cheaper for practitioners and we pass this saving onto our patients.

Dysport in the forehead

Typically 3-4 months but this depends on how much you inject. The more you inject the longer it can last. But 3-4 months is usually the maximum length. see video

Dysport Duration...

I am a little confused on your question. Dysport results typically lasts, on average, 3 to 4 months. It is very common for people to come back in that period for subsequent treatments. Hope that helps. Dr. Grant Stevens

Back to back dysport

Not sure of exactly what you are asking but will do my best. Are you asking whether you can have another area injected after having forehead done? Yes you can. If you think that you did not have enough in forehead, after two weeks can be re-evaluated and more injected. Most commonly Dysport lasts 3-4 months but a few have reported it lasting less long(maybe not enough injected) as well as many saying lasts up to 6 mos(not commonly). Hope this helps.
