What is Dysport, and what is it approved for?

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the muscles that crease the skin. The FDA approved it in 2009 to improve moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in adults under 65. It is made by Ipsen and distributed in the US by Galderma.

Dysport or Botox: which is right for you?

Both relax the muscles behind expression lines, and both are FDA-approved for frown lines. Botox Cosmetic also has approvals for crow's feet, forehead lines and neck bands. Dysport is dosed in its own units that do not convert to Botox units, so compare the total for your plan rather than the price per unit.

What did the FDA studies of Dysport actually show?

In three placebo-controlled frown-line studies, 52% to 60% of people treated with Dysport reached none or mild lines with at least a two-grade improvement at Day 30, compared with 0% on placebo. The improvement lasted up to four months. The most common side effects were a stuffy, sore nose and throat and headache.

Which lines can Dysport treat in Portland?

Dysport is FDA-approved for frown lines, the vertical lines between the brows often called the 11s. Injectors also use it for forehead lines, crow's feet and other areas, which are off-label uses. At your Portland visit we tell you which areas are approved, which are not, and what the evidence and risks are for each.

Frown lines between the brows

The labeled treatment: 50 units across five points in the muscles that pull the brows together. Many people choose Dysport for this area alone.

Off-label, assessed at your visit

Other areas we discuss

  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Crow's feet at the outer eyes
  • Lines on the sides of the nose
  • Dimpling on the chin

Off-label means the use was not part of the FDA approval. We explain the reasoning, the dose and the risks before you decide.

Stronger brows, same approach

Brow muscles vary from person to person, so we set your units to your muscles at assessment. That is why two people's totals can differ.

Sources: Dysport label, section 1; FDA, understanding off-label use of approved drugs.

What happens at a Dysport appointment in Portland?

We start with your goals, health history and any past toxin treatments, then watch how your brows and forehead move. Once your units and total are agreed, the injections themselves are quick. In the label studies, most frown lines were already improved by Day 14, and results lasted up to four months.

Dysport in Portland: your questions

Straight answers before you book at our SE Stark Street clinic.

How much is Dysport in Portland?

At Cosmetiq Medicine, Dysport is $4 a unit, $3.70 for Glow members and $3.40 for Elite members. The FDA-labeled dose for frown lines is 50 units, or $200 at the regular price. Your units and total are confirmed before treatment at our Portland clinic on SE Stark Street.

How many units of Dysport do I need?

The FDA-labeled dose for frown lines is 50 units, given as five injections of 10 units. Other areas, such as the forehead or crow's feet, are off-label and use different amounts. Your injector sets your units after watching how your muscles move.

Is Dysport cheaper than Botox?

Dysport has a lower price per unit, $4 compared with $12 for Botox at our clinics, but it is dosed in its own units that do not convert to Botox units. Compare the total for your treatment plan rather than the unit price. We quote both if you are deciding.

How long does Dysport last?

In the FDA studies for frown lines, improvement lasted up to four months. Many people notice movement returning gradually over that time. The label allows retreatment no more often than every three months, and your timing is set with your injector.

How soon does Dysport work?

In the label studies, investigators rated frown lines improved in 83% to 90% of people by Day 14, and the full study result was measured at Day 30. Many people notice the first softening within the first week or two.

Can Dysport be used on the forehead and crow's feet?

Injectors do use Dysport in those areas, but it is FDA-approved only for frown lines between the brows, so other areas are off-label. At your visit we explain the evidence, dose and risks for any off-label area before you decide.

Who should not get Dysport?

People allergic to any botulinum toxin product, to cow's milk protein or to Dysport's ingredients, and anyone with an infection at the injection site, should not receive it. Tell us about nerve or muscle conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding and every medicine you take.

Can Dysport affect vision?

Eyelid swelling and drooping eyelids each occurred in 2% of people in the frown-line studies. The label also warns that toxin effects can rarely spread and cause blurred or double vision. Call us or get medical help right away if your vision changes after treatment.

Do you offer Dysport specials in Portland?

Our standing savings are the Glow and Elite memberships, which lower Dysport to $3.70 or $3.40 a unit. We also post limited-time offers on our specials page. Member discounts can't be combined with specials or packages.
