Dysport Treatment in Redondo Beach & Costa Mesa

Welcome to Beauty Cult in Redondo Beach and Costa Mesa, where we offer Dysport, a botulinum toxin treatment that softens the wrinkles caused by repeated facial expression. Our goal is to help you look refreshed and relaxed, never frozen.

With Dysport, we're dedicated to smoothing the glabellar lines between the brows, along with forehead lines and crow's feet, with results that tend to appear faster than other neuromodulators. As a trusted hub for advanced injectable treatments, we invite you to explore the benefits of Dysport in our serene and welcoming South Bay and Orange County practices.

What is Dysport?

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from repeated expressions like frowning or squinting. It works the same way as other neuromodulators, but its smaller protein structure allows it to diffuse more broadly once injected.

Dysport is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines (the frown lines between the brows). It's also commonly used off-label for forehead lines and crow's feet, where its broader diffusion pattern can help create a soft, even relaxation. A consultation with Dr. Clara Yu is recommended to determine the right treatment plan for your face.

How Does It Work / How Does It Compare to Others?

Dysport works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell specific facial muscles to contract.

First, Dysport is injected directly into the targeted muscle using a very fine needle, with treatment typically taking only 10 to 15 minutes.

Second, the botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signal that causes that muscle to contract, allowing the muscle — and the skin above it — to relax.

Because Dysport has a smaller protein structure than some other neuromodulators, it tends to diffuse a bit more broadly after injection. In the clinical trials behind its FDA approval, some patients saw results as early as day 1, with a median time to onset of just 2 to 3 days — faster than the 5 to 7 days some patients experience with other botulinum toxin products.

What are the Benefits of Dysport?

Dysport offers benefits that make it a popular choice for patients who want natural-looking results without a long wait to see them. Because of its broader diffusion pattern, it can smooth larger areas like the forehead with fewer injection points.

One of the most significant benefits of this treatment is how naturally the results tend to look. It aids in:

  • FDA-approved for softening glabellar lines, with forehead lines and crow's feet as common off-label uses.

  • Producing visible results faster than some other neuromodulators, often within 2 to 3 days.

  • Covering broader treatment areas with fewer injection points.

  • Delivering natural-looking, non-frozen results.

  • Minimal downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities right away.

  • Long-lasting results that may last up to 5 months per treatment.

Before & Afters

dysport

Does Dysport hurt?

Most patients feel only a brief, mild pinch during injection. The needle used is very fine, and no anesthesia is typically required.

How is Dysport different from Botox?

Both are botulinum toxin type A products and work the same way, but Dysport has a smaller protein structure that allows it to diffuse more broadly and tends to show visible results a bit faster, often within 2 to 3 days compared to 5 to 7 days for Botox.

How long does Dysport last?

Results may last up to 5 months per treatment based on clinical studies, though this can vary based on metabolism, muscle strength, and the area treated.

How much does Dysport cost?

Dysport is priced per unit, and because it's dosed differently than Botox, more units are typically needed to achieve comparable results. Exact pricing will be discussed during your consultation.

Is Dysport safe?

Yes. Dysport is FDA-approved and has been extensively studied. You can typically return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
