Dysport
You’re noticing it more lately—the forehead lines that hang around longer after you stop frowning, the crinkle near your eyes when you smile, or the way your reflection feels just a little more tired than you feel inside. Maybe you've tried skincare. Maybe you’ve been curious for a while but weren’t sure where to start. You’re not looking to erase your expressions—you just want them to look less permanent.
That’s where Dysport comes in. At Temmen Plastic Surgery, we offer a smart, approachable option for softening fine lines and easing tension in a way that still looks entirely like you. In the guide below, we’ll break down what Dysport is, how it works, what to expect during treatment, and why our Tampa patients trust us to get it right. This isn’t about freezing your face—it’s about letting it move with a little more grace.
Dysport® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin type A, a neuromodulator that relaxes targeted facial muscles. When injected into specific areas of the face, it temporarily reduces the muscle activity that causes expression-based wrinkles, also known as dynamic lines. This smooths visible signs of aging while preventing new lines from forming. Common treatment comparisons like Dysport vs Botox reveal subtle differences in spread, onset, and effect duration. Our team will help determine the most effective option for your facial anatomy and goals.
Our experienced injectors use Dysport across the face and body to address cosmetic and therapeutic concerns:
Most patients seeking non-surgical wrinkle treatment are great candidates for Dysport injections, especially those experiencing early signs of aging or looking to maintain smooth skin between treatments.
Ideal candidates:
During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, current medications, and desired outcomes to make sure Dysport treatment is right for you.
Your appointment begins with a consultation to map out your treatment plan based on your goals, facial structure, and muscle activity.
Your injector may apply a numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort. The skin will be cleaned and marked to guide placement.
Using a tiny needle, Dysport is injected into targeted muscles in quick, precise pulses. The treatment typically takes 10 to 20 minutes.
There’s no official downtime. You can return to normal activities immediately, but should avoid strenuous workouts, alcohol, or lying down for four to six hours.
Post-treatment, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These effects typically fade within a few hours to two days.
To support healing and get the most from your Dysport injections:
While some improvement may be visible as early as two to five days, full results typically develop within two weeks. You’ll notice smoother skin, softened lines, and a more refreshed facial appearance, without stiffness or a “frozen” look.
Dysport results generally last three to four months. Many patients choose to return for maintenance every season to maintain results.
Dysport cost varies depending on the number of units required, the areas being treated, and your personal goals. Our team will provide a transparent quote during your consultation, customized to your unique needs.
Unlike one-size-fits-all pricing, we focus on creating a tailored approach that respects your investment and ensures you achieve your desired results without over-treatment.

Most patients describe Dysport injections as quick and virtually painless. A numbing cream is available for added comfort, though many find they don’t need it.
Minor side effects include temporary swelling, redness, or bruising. Rare complications—like unintended muscle relaxation—are minimized by choosing a qualified provider.
On average, Dysport lasts 3 to 4 months. With regular maintenance, many patients find they need fewer units over time.
Allergies to abobotulinumtoxinA are extremely rare. We carefully review your medical history to avoid any contraindications.
There’s no required downtime. You can return to work and most activities immediately, but should avoid lying flat or strenuous movement for several hours.
