Dysport is an injectable wrinkle treatment called a neurotoxin and is made from a purified form of botulinum toxin A. This product temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles, allowing the skin to gradually smooth out.

Candidates for Dysport
Women and men from Coeur d’Alene and Spokane should consider Dysport if they want to reduce fine lines and wrinkles in areas such as around the eyes and forehead. Candidates for Dysport do not have any serious medical conditions or allergies to any botulinum toxin product. Also, because the effects of Dysport on pregnancy are unknown, women who are or plan to become pregnant should wait until after pregnancy to receive treatment.
Benefits of Dysport
Dysport are used specifically to treat wrinkles and lines that appear on the upper part of the face (see illustration below). As men and women age, the skin loses its smooth, taut appearance. These treatments act as a relaxing agent to keep the facial muscles in place that would normally contract due to repeated muscle movement. By “freezing” the muscles, the formation of worry lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet on the face is drastically reduced – leading to a smoother, firmer appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Johnson will help you decide whether Dysport is more appropriate for achieving your facial rejuvenation goals.
How Much Does Dysport Cost in Coeur d’Alene and Spokane?
Women and men visiting our Coeur d’Alene practice from Spokane and surrounding communities receive Dysport for $5.00 per unit. The cost of your treatment depends on how many units are needed to deliver the desired results. For example, treatment of the glabellar frown lines (the 11s) typically costs $300 with Dysport, although this can vary from person to person. You will be given a personalized quote when you come in for a consultation.
What Happens During Your Appointment?
Dysport injectors begin treatments by ensuring the target area is prepared. The injections themselves take only about 15 minutes. There is virtually no downtime, although you may notice some slight redness or swelling at the injection sites.
Comfort on Your Terms
If you’re feeling anxious about your injections, we offer self-administered nitrous oxide with Pro-Nox™. Sometimes also called “laughing gas,” Nitrous oxide is a safe, odorless gas that temporarily reduces feelings of anxiety and stress. Learn more during your consultation.
Dysport vs. Dermal Fillers
While they are both injectable facial rejuvenation treatments, Dysport and dermal fillers have their differences, including:
Dysport
Works by allowing wrinkles to smooth out.
Improvements develop gradually.
Results last 3 to 4 months.
Dermal Fillers
Work by adding volume under the wrinkle, fold, or hollow.
Improvements are immediate.
Results last as long as 1 to 2 years. (Sculptra even longer.)
Dysport vs. BOTOX® Cosmetic
Both Dysport and BOTOX belong to a class of injectables called neuromodulators. Each is derived from botulinum toxin and is similar in molecular structure and application. We have offered Dysport instead of BOTOX for more than 10 years for several reasons (including that our patients prefer it).
Some of the benefits of Dysport compared to BOTOX include:
Earlier onset of results: Crow’s feet, glabellar lines (11s), and horizontal forehead lines are among the most common concerns Dysport treats, and you’ll typically notice improvement within 2 to 3 days after your injections. BOTOX usually takes about a week to see results.
Better for larger areas: Dysport is injected deeper into the skin and spreads more easily than BOTOX, making it more effective for treating a broader area with fewer injections.
Tends to last longer: Dysport’s protein is smaller than BOTOX’s, which can lead to longer-lasting results and fewer maintenance treatments.
The infographic in this helpful blog post further outlines the differences between Dysport and BOTOX.
Can You Combine Dysport With Other Treatments?
Many women and men choose Dysport treatments because they’re a noninvasive way to rejuvenate their faces with minimal downtime. For those looking to address multiple concerns in a single session or over a series of treatments, combining Dysport with other cosmetic procedures achieves comprehensive and natural-looking results.
Treatment Combinations To Address Wrinkles
Injectable fillers: Combining Dysport with dermal fillers can smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement while restoring volume in areas like the cheeks, lips, and around the eyes.
Laser skin rejuvenation: Dysport paired with laser skin rejuvenation, such as UltraClear® laser skin rejuvenation, offers a dual approach to facial enhancement, addressing dynamic wrinkles, improving skin tone, minimizing sun damage, and refining fine lines.
Microneedling: Microneedling stimulates collagen production and improves the skin’s overall texture, while Dysport minimizes expression lines.
Treatment Combinations To Address Skin Texture
The Perfect™ Derma Peel: Combining Dysport with a chemical peel such as The Perfect Derma Peel addresses wrinkles and reduces the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage for a brighter, smoother complexion.
Hydrafacial®: The Hydrafacial deeply cleans, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, enhancing overall skin health. When combined with Dysport, patients experience smoother skin with reduced wrinkles and a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Treatment Combinations To Address Submental Fullness and Facial Contouring
Profound® skin tightening: Combining Dysport with Profound skin tightening improves overall skin firmness while addressing expression lines.
What Is a Liquid Facelift?
Dr. Johnson combines Dysport with fillers in a nonsurgical liquid facelift for people with early signs of aging or those who want an alternative to facial plastic surgery. This nonsurgical treatment lifts and contours the face, smooths wrinkles, and restores lost volume, providing a more youthful look. It’s an excellent option for patients seeking minimal downtime and subtle, immediate results.

Beyond Wrinkle Reduction
Dysport is more than just an anti-wrinkle treatment. It can be used for several other unexpected aesthetic concerns. We offer Dysport injections to address:
Jawlineslimming (masseter reduction): Dysport contours the jawline by relaxing the masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing. Over time, consistent injections reduce the size of the muscle, resulting in a more refined and angular jawline.
“Gummy smile”treatment: If you’re self-conscious about showing too much gum when you smile, Dysport injections reduce upper lip movement, ensuring a more balanced, natural-looking smile with less gum exposure.
Nonsurgical lip enhancement (lip flip): This quick treatment relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, causing it to gently roll outward and appear more full. The result is a subtle yet noticeable enhancement to your lip’s shape and volume.
Hyperhidrosis: Dysport injections in the underarm area reduce excessive sweating for several months.
