Injectable treatments are technique-dependent. The skill and experience of your injector directly affects your results, comfort, and safety. At Body Preserve, our providers are extensively trained in facial anatomy and injection techniques.
Expert Injectors: Our licensed medical professionals specialize in neuromodulator injections. They understand facial muscle anatomy, appropriate dosing, and injection depth to achieve optimal results without an overdone appearance.
Both Dysport and Botox Available: Unlike providers who only offer one neuromodulator, Body Preserve offers both Dysport and Botox. Your provider can recommend the product best suited to your specific needs.
Personalized Dosing: Every face is different. Your provider assesses your muscle strength, facial movement patterns, and aesthetic goals to determine the right number of units and injection points for your unique anatomy.
Comfortable Experience: We prioritize your comfort throughout the treatment. The injection process is quick — typically under 15 minutes — and most patients find Dysport injections very tolerable.
Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator manufactured by Galderma. Like Botox, Dysport works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause facial muscles to contract. When these muscles are relaxed, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
How Dysport works: When injected into targeted facial muscles, Dysport blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This prevents the muscle from contracting fully, allowing the overlying skin to relax and smooth. The effect typically lasts 3 to 5 months.
Faster onset: Many patients notice Dysport results within 24 to 48 hours, compared to 3 to 7 days for some other neuromodulators. This makes Dysport a popular choice for patients who want quick results before an event.
Natural spread: Dysport has a slightly larger diffusion area than Botox, which means it spreads more evenly across broad, flat muscles like the frontalis (forehead). This can produce a particularly smooth, natural result.
Proven safety: Dysport has been used for cosmetic and medical purposes for over 20 years and has an extensive safety record. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines.
One of the most common questions we hear at Body Preserve is whether Dysport or Botox is the better choice. Both are excellent neuromodulators with high patient satisfaction. The differences are subtle.
Onset time: Dysport typically takes effect faster. Many patients see results in 24 to 48 hours, while Botox typically takes 3 to 7 days. If you have an event coming up soon, Dysport may be the better choice.
Spread pattern: Dysport has a slightly broader diffusion pattern. This is advantageous for large flat muscles like the forehead because fewer injection points may be needed and the result can look more uniform.
Unit dosing: Approximately 2.5 to 3 Dysport units equal 1 Botox unit. You receive more units of Dysport, but the cost per unit is lower, so total treatment cost is generally comparable.
Duration: Both typically last 3 to 5 months. Some patients report Dysport wears off slightly sooner while others find it lasts just as long. Individual response varies.
Which should you choose: Your provider at Body Preserve will discuss both options during your consultation and recommend the one that best suits your treatment areas, facial anatomy, and goals.
Dysport at Body Preserve can address dynamic wrinkles across multiple areas of the face.
Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines that form when you raise your eyebrows. Dysport’s natural spread makes it particularly well-suited for the broad frontalis muscle.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): The vertical lines between your eyebrows. This is the FDA-approved indication for Dysport and one of the most popular treatment areas.
Crow’s Feet: The fine lines that fan out from the corners of your eyes when you smile or squint. Dysport softens these lines while preserving your natural expression.
Brow Lift: Strategic Dysport placement can subtly lift the brow, opening up the eye area for a more awake, refreshed appearance without surgery.
Bunny Lines: Fine lines on the sides of your nose when you scrunch your face. A small amount of Dysport can smooth these lines.
Lip Lines and Chin: Fine lines around the lips and chin dimpling can be softened with precise Dysport placement.
At Body Preserve, we price Dysport per unit so you only pay for exactly what you need. The total cost depends on the number of units required, which varies based on muscle strength, areas treated, and desired result.
Per-unit pricing: Dysport is priced per unit. Because Dysport uses a different unit measurement than Botox (approximately 2.5 to 3 Dysport units equal 1 Botox unit), the per-unit cost is lower but total treatment cost is generally comparable.
Common treatment ranges: Forehead lines typically require 20 to 40 units. Frown lines require 40 to 60 units. Crow’s feet require 20 to 30 units per side.
We also offer membership pricing through our Body Preserve membership program. Members receive preferred per-unit pricing on Dysport, Botox, and other injectable treatments.
