August 5, 2025

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.

What Is Dysport, and How Does It Work?

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.

The Big Question: How Long Does Dysport Last?

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.

Factors That Influence The Longevity of Your Dysport Results

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.

  • Your Metabolism. Just as some people process caffeine faster than others, your metabolic rate will affect how quickly your body breaks down the Dysport protein.
  • Treatment Area & Muscle Strength. The muscles in your forehead or between your brows might be stronger or weaker than those around your eyes. Stronger, more active muscles may cause the effects to wear off a bit sooner.
  • The Dosage Used. A qualified provider at Savvy Rejuvenation & IV Bar will determine the precise dose you need to achieve your goals. An appropriate dose is critical for effective, lasting outcomes.
  • Lifestyle Habits. Certain habits can influence duration. For instance, athletes or those who engage in frequent high-intensity workouts may find their results fade slightly faster due to an increased metabolism.
  • Treatment Consistency. If you maintain a regular treatment schedule, you may find longer-lasting results. This happens because the muscles are "trained" to stay in a more relaxed state.

Does Dysport Last Longer Than Botox?

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.

Quick Guide: Dysport vs. Botox

Tips for Making Your Dysport Treatment Last Longer

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.

  1. Choose an Expert Injector. The skill of your provider is the most important factor. An experienced nurse practitioner understands facial anatomy and uses precise techniques to ensure the product is placed correctly for optimal duration.
  2. Follow Aftercare Instructions. We provide simple aftercare guidelines for a reason. Avoiding strenuous activity for the first 24 hours and not rubbing the treated area helps the product settle properly.
  3. Make Sunscreen Your Best Friend. Sun exposure is a leading cause of premature aging and can break down both collagen and the results of your treatment. A daily broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable for protecting your investment.
  4. Live a Healthy Lifestyle. Healthy skin starts from within. Staying hydrated, eating a nutrient-rich diet, and managing stress all contribute to better skin health. It can support the longevity of your treatments.
  5. Stay on Schedule. The best way to maintain a consistently smooth look is to book your next appointment before the effects of your previous Dysport treatment have completely worn off. We can help you determine the right schedule for your needs.

Knowing When It's Time for a Follow-Up

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.
