Now you can target unwanted fine lines and moderate to severe frown lines, also known as glabella lines, with a Dysport® treatment. FDA-approved Dysport® eliminates glabella lines between your eyes and on your forehead.
Similar to BOTOX®, Prescription Dysport® injections temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines. The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas.
Moreover, Dysport® may offer slight advantages in both activation time and possible duration of treatment. Dysport® injections may potentially treat excess sweating in the underarms, hands and or feet. Although no product allergy testing is required, we do not advise Dysport® during pregnancy or for patients with neuromuscular disorders.
What can you expect from a Dysport® injection? A Dysport® treatment offers multiple benefits, including:
While it can vary depending on age and health conditions, generally, patients above the age of 18 with good overall health seeking to temporarily improve the appearance of crow's feet and glabella lines between the eyebrows are good candidates for Dysport®. Furthermore, patients should not have a history of allergies to Dysport® or its ingredients, including botulinum toxin, and must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, our Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Fredric M. Barr, M.D., F.A.C.S., has more than three decades of experience with cosmetic procedures, including these injections. During your consultation with our patient counselor, we will determine if Dysport® is the right treatment for your specific concerns and goals, based on your medical history and other critical factors. Whether you need two treatments or more, the doctor will examine the treatment area, and discuss potential risks and benefits, so you can make an informed decision.
Using a very fine needle, we inject Dysport® into the muscles above your eyebrows and the bridge of your nose, forehead and crow's feet. Performed with precision and attention to your personal needs, the treatment takes about 30 minutes or less.
What are the Most Common Side Effects of Dysport®?
Although generally safe and effective for laugh lines, glabella lines, crow's feet, and moderate wrinkles, like most medical procedures, Dysport® can potentially have side effects that usually resolve in a few days, including:
These temporary side effects should dissipate within a few days after the treatment. You can use over-the-counter medication and cold compresses at the injection site to alleviate them. As always, tell your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen, and follow post-procedure instructions.
Before undergoing your treatment, eliminating vitamins, aspirin, alcohol and other blood thinners, will result in less bruising and bleeding at the site of the injection. For the best results, avoid sun exposure and tanning beds.
The cost of treatments varies from patient to patient, depending on how many units are used to treat the forehead and eyebrows, as well as the number of injection sites. Although health insurance does not cover the cost of neuromodulators like Dysport® and BOTOX®, we accept CareCredit®, cash, checks, and credit cards, and offer other financing options.
You can combine treatments to address multiple aging concerns at once and provide more comprehensive results. At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we offer many different types of treatments, including Dysport®, BOTOX®, and dermal fillers like JUVEDERM® and Restylane®.
However, the decision to combine injections will depend on your individual needs and goals. During your consultation with our patient counselor, we will assess your specific situation and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you.

The answer depends on multiple factors, including the specific combination of procedures, your recovery rates, your age and health status, and your behaviors or habits. More invasive surgeries typically require recovery time ranging between 6 and 12 weeks to 6 months, and surgeries to the same area of your body will also generally require recovery time between procedures.
However, if you are in good health and the combination of procedures in question will be performed on different parts of your body and are not especially invasive, a combination of procedures could potentially be approved together on a case-by-case basis. It is imperative that the combination of procedures does not compromise your healing, and your attention to prescribed pre-operation and recovery habits also plays a significant role. Schedule a consultation for an assessment and guidance regarding the procedures you are considering.
While aging affects us all, there are steps we can take to put forth a more vibrant appearance. We seek to perform subtle adjustments to address imperfections and the wear of time while retaining your natural look. While you should notice an improvement, the glaring changes or distortions in appearance you are concerned about and may have seen from other surgeons’ work do not meet the standard of quality plastic and cosmetic surgery we perform in our office.

For patients with Breast Implant Illness (BII), which can include allergy, auto-immune, and thyroid hormone issues, this has been an emerging topic with significant press coverage in recent years. Although numerous medical professionals have demonstrated varying responses to these women’s concerns, we believe in addressing these women’s experiences and symptoms. In response to this phenomenon, we have also chosen not to perform new breast implant surgeries. We perform Total Capsulectomy on patients with breast implants, which involves the removal of both the saline or silicone implant and the capsule around it.
Removal of the implants and surrounding scar tissue has been shown to improve women’s health concerning these symptoms. While some women choose no further procedure following Breast Explant Surgery, some patients elect to have a Mastopexy procedure that involves reshaping the breast tissue for a pleasant cosmetic breast appearance. We welcome your specific questions regarding these procedures and their anticipated effects for your situation. See our Breast Implant Explantation (Total Capsulectomy) page for more detailed information, including before-and-after photo examples.
We only utilize injectables and safe procedures for our patients, though any procedure involves some degree of risk. Proper performance and the surgeon's skills and experience performing the procedure are vital factors affecting patients’ safety. At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, our surgeon is Board-Certified, with over 30 years of experience. We enforce a high standard to maintain safety for our clients and competitors. See our Injectable Procedures Overview for a list of injectable procedures and more information on each.
