What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an injectable wrinkle relaxer offered at Avalon Laser for women and men who want to improve the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles around the face. Like BOTOX, Dysport is made from a filtered form of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. What sets Dysport apart is its unique formulation, which allows it to spread more easily across larger areas while still delivering precise, natural-looking results. This makes Dysport injections a great option for our clients in San Diego, Carlsbad, and Encinitas, CA who want to treat fine lines and creases that form around the forehead, between the brows, or near the eyes. Whether you've already noticed expression lines forming or want to stop them before they develop, our team will be happy to review your goals and suggest whether BOTOX or Dysport injections will offer the best approach possible for you.
How Are Dysport Injections Performed?
Your cosmetic injection plan will start with a thorough evaluation of your concerns and facial movements. Your injector may ask you to make a variety of different facial expressions so they can better identify which muscles need treatment and determine the appropriate dosage.
Dysport injections usually take only a few minutes to administer. After creating your treatment plan, your provider will carefully perform a series of small, precisely placed injections into carefully selected muscles around your face. A cold pack may also be applied to the injection sites to reduce bruising and inflammation. Once your treatment is finished, you can get back to your routine, though you should avoid certain activities (such as hot showers or strenuous activity) for at least a day after your appointment.
What Are the Benefits of Dysport?
There are a variety of injectable wrinkle relaxers on the market, and they each have their own uses and benefits. Our skilled cosmetic injectors at Avalon Laser work closely with clients throughout San Diego, Carlsbad, and Encinitas, CA to help guide them toward the right treatment for their needs. Dysport can be a great option for individuals who want subtle enhancement on a shorter timeline, offering benefits such as:
- Creating a more refreshed appearance
- Offering fast-acting results
- Preserving your ability to make natural facial expressions
- Minimizing signs of aging across larger areas, including "11 lines," forehead wrinkles, neckbands, and Crow's feet
- Helping prevent deeper expression lines
Dysport® Reviews
I had an appointment with Raiza for Dysport last week and it was a great experience! She was very professional and conscientious about my needs. The treatment went smoothly and I am thrilled with the results!The facility was very nice and the staff very helpful. Prices were definitely reasonable. I will be returning for future treatments and highly recommend Avalon!
It’s been two weeks since my Dysport appointment with Raiza, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Now that everything has fully settled, my results look natural, smooth, and refreshed without the “frozen” look. I still look like myself, just a little more rested and rejuvenated. And if that isn’t convincing enough, I drive 40+ miles from Orange County where there are an abundance of med spas here but I will still choose to drive here!
Avalon laser is my go to place! I’ve been coming here for 3 years, and won’t switch. Daria & Sophia got me in today for an emergency dysport session and I couldn’t be happier. So gentle, kind and accommodating!!
Amazing time getting Dysport at Avalaon! The staff was so helpful and worked with me to get a plan that I felt comfortable with on price and service! Got Dysport for the first time, so excited to see it kick in!
This is the place to go! I went to Avalon Laser for my first Dysport appointment and had such a wonderful experience. Chelsea was absolutely incredible- so professional, knowledgeable and kind. She made me feel completely comfortable (I was a little nervous), explained everything throughly, and had a very gentle touch.The clinic is very clean and welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. Everyone I interacted with was helpful and friendly and they seem to care about the quality of their work. If you’re thinking about getting one of their services, do it! You won’t regret it. Highly recommend Chelsea, and I am already looking forward to coming back to see her for my next appointment!

Frequently Asked Questions about Dysport
What is Dysport and how does it differ from BOTOX?
Dysport and BOTOX are both injectable neuromodulators made from botulinum toxin type A, and both work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles. Dysport is known for acting faster and spreading smoothly within the intended treatment area, which may make it a preferred choice for certain facial muscles or aesthetic goals. During your consultation, your provider will recommend the product that's best suited to your anatomy, treatment area, and cosmetic goals.
What areas can Dysport treat?
Popular treatment areas for Dysport include the frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, and Crow's feet around the eyes. Your injector will evaluate your facial anatomy to determine which areas can be treated safely while maintaining balanced, natural-looking facial movement.
How long does Dysport take to work and how long does it last?
Many people begin noticing improvements within 2 – 3 days, with full results typically developing within a week or two. Results often last around 3 – 4 months, although this varies depending on the treatment area, muscle activity, and individual response. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve results over time.
Will I look overdone or "frozen" with Dysport?
The goal of Dysport is to soften unwanted muscle movement, not remove facial expression. With careful treatment planning and appropriate dosing, Dysport can relax wrinkles while preserving your ability to smile, laugh, and express yourself naturally.
Is there downtime after Dysport injections?
There is little to no downtime after Dysport treatment. Most people return to work and their normal activities almost immediately after their appointment. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or small injection-site bumps for the first day, and you'll need to avoid heavy exercise or rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
