Dysport
Galderma’s faster-onset neuromodulator — 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.
