There's a moment many of us experience. You catch your reflection. And then, you notice them. Those faint lines that have settled between your brows or at the corners of your eyes.
They are signs of a life full of expression. But you may wish for a smoother, more rested appearance.
If you're looking for a solution that delivers natural-looking results, you've likely heard about Dysport. It's a trusted favorite for softening expression lines.
The most common question we hear about it is: How long does Dysport last?
Before you can make a confident decision about your care, you deserve clear answers. And that's what we at Savvy Rejuvenation & IV Bar are here for.
We created this guide to walk you through the Dysport timeline, from what influences your results to how you can help them last longer.
Before we talk about duration, let's quickly cover what Dysport is.
Dysport is a prescription injectable, a neuromodulator, specifically developed to treat moderate to severe frown lines.
Over time, repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, and concentrating etch lines into the skin.
Dysport works by gently helping these specific muscles relax their grip. It temporarily interrupts the signal between the nerve and the muscle, which allows the skin above to smooth out.
The result is a softer, more refreshed appearance without changing the look of the rest of your face.
Now for the main event. You can expect to enjoy your beautifully smooth results for three to five months. Many people report results lasting for at least four months.
The effects appear gradually over two to three days as the product settles in and begins its work.
Of course, this timeline is not the same for everyone. Several factors can influence how long your results will last.
Your body is unique, and how it responds to a Dysport treatment will be, too. Here are some of the primary factors that play a role in the longevity of your results.
This is another question we hear often. Both Dysport and Botox are excellent neuromodulators. They are derived from the same substance, and their duration is very similar.
The truth is that one is not definitively "longer-lasting" than the other for everyone. Some clients find that their body responds better to one product over the other.
| Feature | Dysport® | Botox® |
| Onset of Results | Typically, 2–3 days | Around 3–5 days |
| Average Duration | 3–5 months | 3–4 months |
| Primary Use | Moderate to severe frown lines | Frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines |
| Spread in tissue | Wider spread (great for larger areas) | More localized (better for precise areas) |
| Units required | Typically, more than Botox | Typically, fewer units |
| Cost per unit | Lower than Botox | Higher than Dysport |
You have an active role in the success of your treatment. Here are five tips to help you care for and extend your beautiful results.
Your Dysport results will not vanish overnight. You will notice a slow and gradual return of muscle movement over several weeks.
When you start to see those gentle lines reappearing with your expressions, that's your signal that it's time to schedule your next visit.
For most clients, this is around the three-to-four-month mark.
Feeling confident in your appearance is a powerful form of self-care. When you are ready for a refreshed look that feels completely you, we are here to help.
