Dysport ranks among the most widely used non-surgical wrinkle treatments worldwide. This injectable treatment softens expression lines and dynamic wrinkles, especially in the upper third of the face, without surgery or downtime. Because of its effectiveness and convenience, many patients choose it for facial rejuvenation.
However, some patients worry about losing facial sensitivity after treatment. Therefore, it is important to understand how Dysport works and what you can realistically expect.
How Does Dysport Work?
Dysport contains botulinum toxin type A and temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. It blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, which prevents muscle contraction. As a result, treated muscles relax and wrinkles appear smoother.
In simple terms, Dysport:
- Relaxes specific facial muscles
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Prevents repetitive movements that deepen expression lines
By limiting muscle activity, Dysport smooths dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet. Consequently, patients notice a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
Will I Lose Facial Sensitivity?
The short answer is no. Dysport does not cause loss of facial sensitivity when a qualified provider administers it correctly.
According to Dr. Edelisa Moredo Romo, properly applied botulinum toxin treatments do not affect sensation in the treated area. This happens because Dysport targets muscles, not sensory nerves. Therefore, while the muscles relax, the skin continues to feel normal.
After treatment:
- You still feel touch normally
- You do not experience skin numbness
- You maintain natural facial sensation
The product simply reduces muscle movement; it does not interfere with your ability to feel.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
Dysport works well for patients who have moderate to severe expression lines. In addition, it benefits individuals who notice deep frown lines caused by repetitive facial movements.
Ideal candidates typically:
- Want a non-surgical rejuvenation option
- Seek preventative wrinkle treatment
- Maintain good overall health
However, providers do not recommend Dysport for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A consultation helps determine whether the treatment suits your goals.
When Will You See Results?
After injections, Dysport begins working within the first 48 hours. Most patients notice visible improvement around day three. Then, full results develop over the following several days.
The effects usually last four to six months, depending on metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle. Therefore, many patients schedule maintenance treatments to preserve long-term results.
