In short
Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription botulinum toxin type A made by Galderma. The FDA approved it in 2009 to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in adults under 65. It relaxes the muscle that folds the skin, so lines soften without adding volume. In clinical studies the median onset was two to three days, and the label says results may last up to four months. At Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center Dysport is priced per unit, from $4.50, and every injection is performed by a licensed medical provider.
Dysport is abobotulinumtoxinA, one of the four botulinum toxin type A brands sold for wrinkles in the US alongside Botox, Xeomin and Daxxify. It works the same way they do: it blocks the signal from nerve to muscle, the muscle relaxes, and the skin over it stops creasing. It does not fill anything and it does not change the skin itself, which is why it suits lines that appear when you frown, raise your brows or smile, and not lines that are there at rest because of lost volume.
In the US, Dysport's cosmetic approval is specific: temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines, the vertical 11s between the brows, in adults under 65. Injectors also use it on the forehead, around the eyes and in other areas. Those are off-label uses, which is common and legal in medical practice, but it is something you should know, and something your provider should explain before treating an area the label does not cover.
Dysport is also approved for medical conditions, including cervical dystonia and spasticity, at far higher doses than any cosmetic treatment. What you receive at a med spa is the same product, used at small doses in small muscles.
Units and cost
Dysport is counted in its own units. These are typical starting ranges from the FDA label and published dosing guidance, with the cost at our $4.50 to $5 per-unit clinics.
| Area | Typical Dysport units | Cost at $4.50 to $5 a unit |
|---|---|---|
| Frown lines (11s), FDA-approved area | 50 (label dose: five injections of 10 units); stronger muscles often 60 to 70 | $225 to $350 |
| Forehead lines, off-label | 30 to 50 | $135 to $250 |
| Crow's feet, both sides, off-label | 60 to 100 | $270 to $500 |
| Frown lines plus forehead | 80 to 120 | $360 to $600 |
| Upper face: frown lines, forehead and crow's feet | 140 to 220 | $630 to $1,100 |
Ranges, not quotes. Men and people with stronger muscles usually need more. The label dose for frown lines is 50 units, retreated no more often than every three months. Downtown Summerlin sells Dysport by the 300-unit vial, so totals there are per vial. Sources: Dysport prescribing information (FDA, rev. 1/2023) and Sundaram, Practical Dermatology.

Comparison
All four are botulinum toxin type A and relax the same muscles. The differences are in dosing units, formulation and how fast they tend to start.
In Dysport's frown-line trials the median onset was two to three days, and 15 to 33% of people saw a change on day one. A 2020 systematic review reported the same two to three day median. Botox is usually described as three to five days. The gap is small, and individual response varies more than the brands do.
Dysport's FDA label says results may last up to four months; Galderma's own trial analysis says up to five months for some people. Botox is typically three to four months. Head-to-head studies are mixed, and dose matters more than brand: an under-dosed treatment of anything wears off early.
Dysport is $4.50 to $5 a unit at BHRC against $13 to $14 for Botox, but it takes more units for the same effect. Published studies most often use about 2.5 to 3 Dysport units per Botox unit, so the cost of a treated area usually lands in a similar place. Compare totals, not unit prices.
Not exactly. The Dysport label states that its units cannot be compared to or converted into units of any other botulinum toxin. Ratios in the literature are a starting point for an injector, not a formula. If you are switching, your provider sets a Dysport dose for you rather than multiplying your old Botox number.
Some injectors and studies describe Dysport as spreading slightly further from the injection point at certain doses and dilutions. How any toxin behaves depends on dose, dilution and placement, so this is a reason to see an experienced injector, not a reason to rank one brand above another.
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA, Merz) has no accessory proteins. Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA, Revance) is formulated with a peptide instead of human albumin. Availability varies by clinic; your provider will tell you which products your clinic stocks.
Safety
In the frown-line trials the most common reactions were headache (9% vs 5% on placebo), injection site pain or reaction (about 3%), eyelid swelling (2%), eyelid drooping (2%) and nausea (2%). Most are mild and short-lived. Small bruises at injection points are common with any injectable.
Like every botulinum toxin, Dysport carries an FDA boxed warning that its effect may spread from the injection area and cause symptoms such as swallowing or breathing difficulty, hours to weeks after treatment. The risk is highest at the large doses used for medical conditions, but you should seek care straight away if you notice those symptoms.
Dysport may contain trace amounts of cow's milk protein and is contraindicated if you are allergic to it. It is also contraindicated with an allergy to any botulinum toxin or ingredient, or an infection at the injection site. Tell your provider about allergies, neuromuscular conditions and medications before treatment.
Cosmetic botulinum toxin is not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding. Wait, and book once you are done.

How it works
Three steps, none of them filling anything.
Your injector places small doses of Dysport into the specific muscles that crease the skin, mapped to how your face moves.
Dysport blocks the release of acetylcholine at the nerve ending, so the muscle receives a weaker signal to contract.
The muscle relaxes, the skin over it stops folding, and the line softens. As nerve endings recover over the following months, movement returns gradually.

Good to know
The approved area first, then the off-label uses that come up most often.
The only cosmetic area on Dysport's US label. The label dose is 50 units in five injections across the brow muscles, and trials showed improvement lasting up to four months.
Off-label. The forehead muscle also lifts the brows, so it is dosed conservatively and almost always treated together with the frown lines, otherwise the brows can sit low.
Off-label. Lines at the outer eyes that show when you smile. Dosed per side, usually across three injection points.
Off-label and only in selected cases. Hollows and dark circles under the eye are usually a volume issue that filler or skin treatments address better than a toxin. Your provider will tell you honestly which one you need.
Off-label uses some injectors offer. Doses for these areas vary widely, which is why they are planned at consultation rather than priced here.
Aftercare
Ten to twenty minutes, and you can go straight back to your day.
Your provider reviews your health history and allergies, watches how your face moves, marks the points and injects with a very fine needle. Galderma puts treatment time at 10 to 20 minutes.
Stay upright for about four hours, avoid rubbing or massaging the area, and skip hard exercise until the next day. Makeup can go on gently after a few hours.
Small bruises at injection points are the most common thing people notice. Avoiding alcohol and, where your doctor agrees, blood-thinning supplements for a day or two beforehand helps.
Effects build over the first two weeks. If one area needs a little more, that is the time to review it, not in the first few days.
Aftercare
Your result lasts longer when what you use at home is doing the same work. This is the routine our providers start most patients on, dispensed through the practice. Not sure it is right for your skin? Take the skin quiz, or ask your provider to build one around the treatment you are having.

Is it for you
Dysport treats lines caused by movement. It is not a filler and does not replace lost volume.
These are things to discuss, not automatic disqualifications, except a cow's milk protein allergy, which rules Dysport out.

Frequently asked
At BHRC, $4.50 a unit in Valencia and Westlake Village and $5 a unit in West LA, West Hollywood, Paradise Valley and Houston. Downtown Summerlin sells Dysport by the 300-unit vial for $700, and Henderson prices it at consultation. Your total depends on the units your injector recommends; see the price by clinic table.
The FDA-labeled dose for frown lines is 50 units in five injections. Published guidance puts the forehead at about 30 to 50 units and crow's feet at about 60 to 100 units for both sides. Stronger muscles, and men in particular, often need more.
There is no exact conversion, and the Dysport label says its units cannot be compared to or converted into other toxins' units. Studies most often use about 2.5 to 3 Dysport units per Botox unit as a starting point, which is why Dysport costs less per unit but needs more of them.
Neither is better for everyone. Both are botulinum toxin type A and work the same way. Dysport tends to start a little sooner in studies; Botox has more FDA-approved cosmetic areas. Many people try both and stay with the one they like.
Studies are mixed. Dysport's label says up to four months and Galderma reports up to five months for some people, while Botox typically lasts three to four months. Dose, area and your own metabolism matter more than the brand.
In Dysport's frown-line trials the median onset was two to three days, and 15 to 33% of people noticed a change on day one. The full effect is in by about two weeks.
Usually three to four months. The label says up to four months, and treatment should not be repeated more often than every three months.
The most common in trials were headache, injection site pain or reaction, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping and nausea, each in a small percentage of people. Like all botulinum toxins, Dysport has a boxed warning about the effect spreading beyond the injection area, which is rare at cosmetic doses.
Not if you have a cow's milk protein allergy. Dysport may contain trace cow's milk protein and is contraindicated in people with that allergy. Lactose intolerance is a different condition; tell your provider either way.
No. In the US Dysport is approved for frown lines between the brows. Forehead and crow's feet treatment with Dysport is off-label, which is common practice; your provider should explain this before treating those areas.
Only in selected cases, and it is off-label. Most under-eye concerns, such as hollows and dark circles, come from volume loss or skin changes, which filler or skin treatments address better. Your provider will assess which applies to you.
There is no reversal agent for botulinum toxin. The effect wears off gradually as the nerve endings recover, which is one reason a conservative first dose is sensible.
Yes. Your injector will set a Dysport dose for you rather than converting your Botox units one to one, and will review the result at about two weeks.
Both are botulinum toxin type A and relax the same muscles. Xeomin, made by Merz, has no accessory proteins; Dysport, made by Galderma, is dosed in its own units, which are not interchangeable with Xeomin or Botox units. Neither is right for everyone, and your injector will recommend one based on your history and the area. Xeomin earns Merz Xperience+ points; Dysport earns ASPIRE.
