Soft Lines, Strong Smiles

In our Atlanta office, we see so many women and men who feel that their reflection doesn’t quite match how they feel inside. You might feel energetic and happy, but those deep lines between your brows tell a different story of stress or exhaustion. Our goal at Evelina Plastic Surgery is never to change who you are, but to help you look rested and vibrant. Dysport is one of my favorite tools for this. While it belongs to the same family of botulinum toxin products as Botox, it has a beautiful, fluid way of smoothing out facial wrinkles. It’s particularly effective for those of us who want a natural-looking result that starts working quickly. We aren't here to freeze your face, but to give your skin a much-needed break from the tension of daily life.

Aging Gracefully

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment derived from botulinum toxin type A. It is specifically designed to soften moderate to severe glabellar lines (those "11" lines between your eyebrows) by gently relaxing the underlying facial muscles. This allows the skin to smooth out, preventing dynamic wrinkles from becoming permanent creases.

Smoothing Out The Stress.

What Can Dysport Treat?

We recommend Dysport for certain areas where we hold the most tension. Because of how the product is formulated by Galderma Laboratories, it spreads very evenly, making it a wonderful choice for:

Glabellar Lines: Those vertical frown lines that can make you look stern when you're just thinking deeply.
Forehead Lines: Softening horizontal creases while allowing your eyebrows to move naturally.
Crow’s Feet: Refining the fine lines around the eyes without losing the warmth of your smile.
The "Gummy Smile": A few precise drops can help the upper lip sit more comfortably.

Giving Your Muscles A Rest.

How Does Dysport Work?

Dysport is a lot like a temporary "off" switch for the signals your nerves send to your muscles. Every time you squint at your phone or concentrate on a task, your brain tells specific facial muscles to contract. Over time, that constant folding creates wrinkles in the skin.

When we inject Dysport, the botulinum toxin type A blocks that signal. The muscle takes a rest, and the skin above it finally has the chance to settle and smooth out. Because Dysport has a slightly different protein structure than other botulinum toxin products, it tends to diffuse softly across the treated area, which is why the results look so natural and never stark.

Keep The Movement, Lose The Stress

The Benefits Of Dysport

Dysport treatments are a graceful way to soften the day-to-day tension we carry in our faces. Because of its unique structure, it has a beautiful way of spreading evenly, which means we can treat broader areas like the forehead without it ever looking patchy. It is a wonderful choice for our patients who want to keep the warmth of their smile but lose the heavy, tired feeling that comes from constant squinting or frowning.

Fast-Acting Results: Most of our patients see a significant improvement in their fine lines within just two to three days.
A Softer Finish: The product diffuses naturally, making it ideal for creating a smooth, "undone" look.
Preserved Movement: We target specific muscles so you can still express joy and surprise.
Proven Safety: It is FDA-approved and backed by Galderma Laboratories’ history of clinical excellence.
Zero Downtime: You can return to your Atlanta lifestyle immediately after your fifteen-minute visit.

A Smooth Finish Without The Freeze

Am I A Candidate For Dysport?

Good Candidates

If you’re bothered by lines and light wrinkles that appear when you move your face, you’re likely a great candidate. We find that it works beautifully for Atlanta patients who want a preventative approach to aging or those who simply want to look less tired.

Who Is Not a Good Fit

Your health is our first priority, so we're very careful about who we treat. If you have a severe milk protein allergy, Dysport isn't for you (it contains trace amounts of lactose), but we can certainly look at other options like Botox or Xeomin. We also advise against any injections if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a rare neuromuscular condition.

A Few Simple Steps

How To Prepare

Check Your Supplements: Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for a week before your visit to minimize any risk of bruising.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and skip the alcohol for 24 hours.
Clean Palette: Arrive with a fresh face if you can, though we’re happy to help you cleanse your skin here.
Be Open: Tell me about any new medicines or medical conditions so I can create the safest plan for you.

A Quick, Comfortable Visit

Your Dysport Appointment

We know needles can be intimidating, but we promise we will go to great lengths to make this easy for you. The entire procedure usually takes less than 20 minutes.

First, we’ll chat about what you’re seeing in the mirror. We’ll ask you to make a few faces, big smiles and deep frowns, so we can see exactly how your muscles behave. We can use a topical anesthetic or a cooling tool to numb the area, though most people say it feels like nothing more than a tiny mosquito bite. We use a very fine needle to place the Dysport exactly where it’s needed. You might have a few tiny bumps at the injection site, but those usually disappear by the time you leave our Sandy Springs office.

Getting Back To Your Day

Recovery And Aftercare

There is no real downtime with Dysport, which is why so many of our patients pop in during their lunch break. You can go right back to your normal activities.

To get the best results, we just ask for a few things:

Stay Upright: Don't lie down for about four hours after your treatment.
No Rubbing: Avoid massaging the area so the product stays exactly where we placed it.
Skip the Gym: Give yourself 24 hours before doing a heavy workout or sitting in a sauna.

Refreshing Your Reflection

When Will I See Results?

You’ll start to feel the muscles settle down in about two to three days. By the end of the first week, you’ll notice a significant improvement in your facial wrinkles. We always like to wait a full 14 days before we decide if you need a touch-up. It takes that long for the product to fully settle into its optimal results.

Dysport FAQs

How much does Dysport cost in Atlanta?

The Dysport cost is based on how many units we need to achieve your desired results. Because everyone's muscles are different, some are very strong, others are quite delicate, we don't believe in a copy and paste price. During our consultation, we’ll give you a clear, honest quote based on your anatomy and your goals. We want you to feel confident in the investment you're making in yourself.

Will I look frozen?

Not on our watch. We believe in movement-friendly aesthetics. We want you to be able to express joy and surprise, just without the edge off the lines that linger when your face is at rest.

Does Dysport cause a sore throat?

While rare, some people report a mild sore throat or cold-like symptoms after botulinum toxin injections. This usually passes quickly. If you have any concerns about side effects, we're always here to talk them through with you.

Can I get Dysport if I’ve had an allergic reaction to Botox?

If you've had a true allergic reaction to a botulinum toxin product in the past, we need to be extremely cautious. We will discuss your history in detail to decide if a different brand or a different approach is safer for you.

How is Dysport different from dermal fillers?

It’s a common question! Dysport relaxes the muscle to smooth a wrinkle. Dermal fillers "fill" a space to restore lost volume. Often, we use them together to create a beautifully balanced, youthful look.

What happens if I have eyelid drooping?

Eyelid drooping (ptosis) is a very rare risk that happens if the toxin migrates. This is why choosing an experienced, board-certified injector is so important. If it does happen, there are special eye drops that can help until the product wears off, but our goal is to prevent it entirely through precise placement.
