Dysport
Galderma’s faster-onset neuromodulator, with wider diffusion, ideal for broader treatment areas like the forehead.
Dysport is Galderma’s botulinum toxin type A, abobotulinumtoxinA. It relaxes the same facial muscles as Botox but with slightly different pharmacology: faster onset (2-3 days vs 5-7) and wider diffusion per injection point.
That diffusion profile makes Dysport well-suited for broader treatment areas like the forehead. Restraint is still the rule at MODE. More diffusion means fewer injection points, not more product.
Note: Dysport units are not 1:1 with Botox units. Approximately 2.5 units of Dysport equal 1 unit of Botox. At $4.50 per Dysport unit, cost is comparable to Botox for equivalent effect.
- MechanismTemporary muscle relaxation via abobotulinumtoxinA
- Best forDynamic wrinkles, especially forehead (wider diffusion)
- OnsetEffect begins ~2-3 days; full result at 10-14 days
- Duration3-4 months
- Dosing~2.5 Dysport units ≈ 1 Botox unit
A deliberate sequence, not a one-time visit.
Consult
Your nurse injector assesses facial movement and recommends Dysport vs Botox vs Daxxify based on your anatomy and goals.
Injection
15-30 minutes with fine needles. Dysport’s wider diffusion often means fewer injection points than an equivalent Botox plan.
Two-week check
Dysport onset is faster than Botox. Most patients feel the effect by day 7-10. Complimentary follow-up confirms placement.
Maintenance
Re-treatment every 3-4 months. Consistent cadence builds cumulative muscle memory.
