Understanding
Over time, repeated expressions like frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows etch lines into the skin. You may notice a permanent-looking crease between your brows, horizontal bands across your forehead, or fine lines fanning out from the corners of your eyes. These dynamic wrinkles can make you look tired, stern, or older than you feel, even when you are relaxed and well rested.
Dysport relaxes the specific muscles that create these lines, allowing the skin above them to smooth out gradually. Because Dysport starts working in about two to three days and diffuses slightly, it can treat broad areas like the forehead efficiently and evenly. Melissa places small, precise doses so your movement stays soft and natural, never frozen, and results typically last three to four months.
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator from Galderma, a purified botulinum toxin type A that relaxes the frown-line muscles between the brows. Its wider spread covers larger areas like the forehead smoothly.
Melissa places small amounts into precise points with a fine needle, with no downtime. Most feel only a quick pinch, see softening within days, and enjoy results for three to four months.
Treatment Timeline:
2–3 days after treatment (lines begin to soften)

Dysport is a good option for healthy adults who want to soften dynamic expression lines while keeping natural movement. During your consultation, Melissa reviews your medical history and goals to confirm Dysport is right for you.
Some patients prefer Botox, the most-studied neurotoxin, and Melissa will help you weigh the difference during your visit.

Most side effects are mild and temporary. They may include redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, along with a mild headache. These typically resolve within a few days.

Dysport is FDA-approved for glabellar lines and has an established safety record when used as directed. Melissa's clinical background and precise injection technique help minimize risks. Always disclose your full medical history, current medications, and any prior neurotoxin reactions before treatment.
Most patients notice their expression lines starting to soften within two to three days of Dysport, with the full smoothing effect visible around two weeks. Results typically last three to four months before a touch-up is recommended. Individual results vary based on your muscle strength, treatment area, and how your body responds.

Pricing and Payment Options
At Healthy Enhancements, Dysport is priced at $12 per unit. Dysport units are dosed differently than Botox units, so a single treated area usually requires more Dysport units than Botox, but the cost per treated area is comparable. Your total depends on the areas treated and how much product your muscles need, which Melissa will estimate during your consultation. Exact pricing is confirmed at your visit based on your individual treatment plan.
