Dysport Treatment in San Diego, CA

Dysport is a prescription injection (abobotulinumtoxinA) used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe wrinkles. Like Botox, it is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing the specific muscles that cause expression lines, such as frown lines and forehead creases.

Generally, yes. While the total cost depends on your specific goals, Dysport is often more affordable than Botox on a per-treatment basis.

• Price Per Unit: Dysport typically costs significantly less per unit (around $4–$8) compared to Botox ($12–$20).
• The “Unit” Catch: You do need more units of Dysport to get the same effect as Botox (the ratio is roughly 3:1), but even with the higher unit count, the total session price often comes out lower.

Based on the treatment map used at Atossa Medical Spa, Dysport can address a wide variety of concerns across the face and neck:

• Upper Face: Frown lines (the “11s”), horizontal forehead lines, and brow lifts.
• Eyes & Nose: Crow’s feet and “bunny lines” on the bridge of the nose.
• Lower Face: Vertical lip lines, gummy smiles (lip pop), and lifting the corners of the mouth (smile lift).
• Jaw & Neck: Jawline reshaping (masseter reduction for a slimmer face), dimpled chins, and smoothing horizontal neck lines or platysmal bands.

Most people return to their normal routine immediately, though you might have tiny “mosquito bite” bumps at the injection site for an hour or two. Common side effects can include a temporary headache, slight swelling, or redness.

Pro Tip: Dysport contains a trace amount of cow’s milk protein. If you have a known milk allergy, be sure to mention it during your consultation so Dr. Esfahani can determine the best alternative for you.

Yes. Dysport temporarily reduces the muscle activity that causes frown lines, sometimes called “11 lines.” It is FDA-approved to improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults younger than 65.

Both temporarily relax targeted muscles to soften expression lines. Neither is automatically the better choice for everyone. Their formulations and dosing differ, and their units are not interchangeable. Discuss your previous results, preferences, and treatment goals with your provider before choosing.

Treatment can be planned with natural-looking results in mind. Placement and dosing matter, so explain how much movement you want to preserve. Atossa Medical Spa emphasizes personalized Dysport treatment to soften lines while maintaining natural expression, although individual results vary.

Some people notice changes within 24 hours, while improvement commonly begins within two to three days. Results develop rather than appearing immediately after the injections. Your provider can explain when to assess your response and whether a follow-up is needed.

Your cost depends on the amount of product used and your treatment plan. Ask for current pricing and the total estimated cost before booking. Comparing the price per unit with Botox can be misleading because the products use different units. Call (858) 282-6722 or request a consultation online.
