Dysport® Treatments

Fast-Acting Wrinkle Relief That Still Looks Like You

You catch a glimpse of yourself in the rearview mirror and wonder – when did those lines between my brows get so deep? You’re not stressed. You’re not angry. But your face tells a different story. Those frown lines between eyebrows and the creases that run across your forehead can add years and an expression that doesn’t match how you actually feel. Dysport® is a wrinkle relaxer treatment specifically designed to soften those lines and give your face permission to look as relaxed as you are. Here at REFRESH LKN, every Dysport® injection is performed by our board-certified injector – a nurse practitioner with advanced training who treats your face as the unique canvas it is, not a diagram from a textbook. This page covers everything you need to know before you book, from how Dysport® works to what your appointment will actually feel like.

What Is Dysport®?

Dysport® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator injection made from botulinum toxin type A. When injected into specific facial muscles, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause those muscles to contract. The result? Smoother skin where repetitive movement has been creating lines and creases. Dysport® has been used around the world for decades, and its safety profile is well established.

What sets Dysport® apart from other neuromodulator injections is its protein structure. The molecules are slightly smaller, which allows for a broader, more natural diffusion across the treatment area. Many clients love the soft, even result this creates – especially in larger zones like the forehead. One thing worth knowing: units of Dysport® are not the same as units of other wrinkle relaxers. The dosing conversion is something we handle during your consultation, so you never have to worry about the math.

Treatment Areas for Dysport®

Forehead Lines and Frown Lines

Forehead lines treatment is one of the most popular reasons clients come to us for Dysport®. Those horizontal creases that form every time you raise your eyebrows – they respond beautifully to a few precise injections. The glabellar lines, also known as the “elevens” between your brows, are actually the primary FDA-approved indication for Dysport®. This is where its natural diffusion pattern really shines, creating smooth results without that heavy, “frozen” look across the upper face.

Crow’s Feet Reduction

The fine lines that fan out from the corners of your eyes when you smile or squint are completely normal – but they can become deeper over time, eventually sticking around even when your face is at rest. Crow’s feet reduction with Dysport® softens these lines while keeping your smile authentic. This area demands an experienced hand because the skin around the eyes is thin and the muscles are delicate. Precise placement matters here more than almost anywhere else.

Brow Lift and Other Uses

A brow lift injection isn’t about dramatically reshaping your face. It’s about strategically placing Dysport® to relax the muscles that pull your brows downward, allowing the natural lifting muscles to do their thing. The effect is subtle – a slightly more open, refreshed look around the eyes. Some clients also ask about off-label uses like a lip flip, jawline slimming, or neck bands. We’re happy to discuss those during your consultation and determine whether Dysport® or another approach makes the most sense for your goals.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

When you walk into REFRESH LKN, the first thing you’ll notice is that it doesn’t feel clinical or intimidating. It feels like a place where someone is actually going to listen to you. Your appointment starts with a one-on-one consultation with our nurse practitioner. She’ll assess your facial anatomy, ask about your goals, and determine the right number of units of Dysport® for each area. There’s no rushing through this part.

The treatment itself takes roughly 10 to 20 minutes. We use fine-gauge needles, and most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch – nothing dramatic. Anesthesia isn’t typically needed, though ice or topical numbing is available if you’d prefer it. One thing that matters to many of our clients: the same nurse practitioner who consults with you is the one performing your injections. Every single time. There’s no hand-off to rotating staff.

After treatment, you’re free to go about your day. We just ask that you skip heavy exercise for the rest of the day, avoid lying flat for about four hours, and resist the urge to rub or massage the treated areas.

If you’re ready to see what Dysport® can do for you, we’d love to hear from you. Call us at 980-216-8484 or Book Appointment online whenever it’s convenient.

Dysport® Results and Longevity

Here’s something clients love about Dysport®: it tends to kick in fast. Many people notice their muscles starting to relax within two to three days, which is often quicker than other neuromodulator injections. Full results typically settle in by day 10 to 14, and that’s when you’ll really see the smoothing effect at its best.

Results generally last three to four months, though your individual experience depends on factors like metabolism, muscle strength, and how many units of Dysport® were used. Here’s the encouraging part – with consistent treatments over time, the muscles you’re targeting actually learn to stay more relaxed on their own. Many of our long-term clients find they can gradually extend the time between visits.

A word on expectations: Dysport® is incredible at softening dynamic wrinkles – the ones caused by movement – and preventing them from becoming deeper. If you have lines that are visible even when your face is completely still, Dysport® can improve their appearance over time, but those etched-in creases may benefit from a combination approach we can discuss together.

Why Clients Choose REFRESH LKN

There’s no shortage of places offering cosmetic injections in Cornelius, NC and the surrounding Lake Norman area. So why do clients from Huntersville, Davidson, Mooresville, and even south Charlotte keep finding their way to our door? It starts with who’s holding the needle. Our nurse practitioner is board-certified with advanced injectable training, and she personally performs every treatment. No exceptions.

REFRESH LKN is Lake Norman’s only medical spa combining advanced lasers, hormone wellness, personalized weight loss, and injectables under one roof. That means if Dysport® alone isn’t the full answer – if dermal fillers, a CoolPeel® laser treatment, or skin resurfacing would give you a more complete result – we can build that plan together without sending you somewhere else. Our approach to Lake Norman clinical injectables is personal. We look at your face, your skin, your life. We dose conservatively, place precisely, and always prioritize a result that looks like you – just refreshed.

Is Dysport® Right for You?

If you’re an adult who’s bothered by moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles – lines that show up when you move your face – Dysport® is a proven, minimally invasive option worth considering. It’s a botulinum toxin type A product with a long track record, and the treatment itself takes less time than most lunch breaks.

Dysport® isn’t recommended if you’re pregnant or nursing, have certain neuromuscular conditions, or have a known allergy to botulinum toxin products. And if you’ve ever worried about looking “frozen” or expressionless – that concern usually disappears once you see what conservative, thoughtful dosing actually looks like. You’ll still look like you. You’ll still move like you.

The best way to find out if Dysport® fits your goals is to sit down with us. Sometimes Dysport® alone is the answer. Sometimes we’ll recommend pairing it with dermal fillers or a skin treatment for results that go even further. That’s what the consultation is for – no pressure, just a plan that makes sense for your face and your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units of Dysport® will I need?

It varies by area and by person, but common ranges are 40–60 units for glabellar lines, 20–40 for forehead lines, and 20–30 for crow’s feet. Our nurse practitioner determines your exact dosing during the consultation after evaluating your muscle activity and goals. Remember, Dysport® units are measured differently than other wrinkle relaxers, so the numbers will sound higher – that’s completely normal.

Does Dysport® hurt?

Most clients describe it as a quick pinch that’s over before they have time to think about it. The needles are extremely fine, and the injections take just seconds per site. If you’re sensitive, we can apply ice or a topical numbing cream beforehand – just let us know.

Can I combine Dysport® with fillers in one visit?

Absolutely. Many clients choose to do a full-face session where we address both movement-based lines with Dysport® and volume loss with dermal fillers. Our nurse practitioner will advise on what’s safe and appropriate to combine based on the areas being treated.

How far in advance should I schedule before a special event?

We recommend booking at least two weeks before any big occasion. This gives Dysport® time to fully settle and allows any minor bruising – which is uncommon but possible – to completely resolve. If it’s your first time, three weeks gives you even more breathing room.

How much does Dysport® cost?

Dysport® is priced per unit, and total cost depends on how many units your treatment plan requires. During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear estimate based on your specific goals. We want you to know exactly what to expect before we begin.

What’s the difference between Dysport® and other wrinkle relaxers?

The main differences come down to molecular size, diffusion pattern, and onset speed. Dysport® tends to spread more evenly across broader areas and often shows results a bit faster. Unit measurements differ between products, so a direct number comparison isn’t apples to apples. The best way to know which wrinkle relaxer is right for you is to discuss it with us during your visit.
