How Long Does Dysport Last for Wrinkles on the Forehead?

Dysport typically lasts 3-4 months in most patients. Many patients will return every 3 months in order to maintain their results and avoid allowing the wrinkles to return. That being said, this time frame is an average, and some patients return more often, while others are able to maintain relatively good results with injections every 6 months (although this is uncommon).
All the best,

Dysport can last up to 4 months. This will vary from person to person. You should not be treated more than every 90 days. Our Biospa offers free consultations.

Dysport has the same active ingredient as Botox for treating lines in the forehead.  The onset of action seems to be a day or two faster for Dysport in some individuals and, anecdotally, it may last longer for some patients in the forehead and around the eyes.  Studies show that Dysport may work better in the forehead than Botox though they both should last 10-16 weeks on average.

Dysport normally lasts around 3-4 months. The maximum effects of Dysport are usually seen at about 2 weeks, so if a touch up is required, you can generally treat the same area again at that time. If you are treating a different area, then you may do that at the same time or on a different day without having to wait 2 weeks.

Thank you for your question. Dysport can last an average of 3-4 months depending on an individual's metabolism. You may return for another injection before it has completely metabolized, around 2-3 months. You may have Dysport performed on other areas such as between your brows (glabella), crow's feet, bunny lines, etc. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.

Both Dysport and Botox last approximately 3-4 months.  It is fine to have Dysport back to back once you feel like the effects are wearing off. 

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.

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 continually making these expressions or movements and are able to stretch out their treatment sessions to 6 to 9 months apart. This is particularly true of my teeth grinding patients, who usually come in once or twice a year.

As for your questions about retreatment, if you have received an adequate, properly placed dose, I would wait at least 3 months before being retreated in the same area. However, if you feel your wrinkles have not responded as you would like, you may be a candidate for a touchup of a few extra units. I usually advise my patients to wait 7-10 days for the effect and return for a complimentary touchup if they have not fully responded. If you are interested in having a different area treated, you can do this at any time.

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. 

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