Forehead lines are one of the most common early signs of aging. These horizontal creases form over time from repeated facial expressions and gradually become more pronounced as collagen production slows. At Jade MD Aesthetics in Rancho Cucamonga, Dysport is a popular solution for softening these lines while preserving your natural facial expressions.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles, especially those on the upper face. Once injected into specific areas of the forehead, it helps smooth existing lines and prevents new ones from forming.

Unlike dermal fillers, which restore volume, Dysport targets muscle activity. This makes it ideal for treating expression lines like those across the forehead and between the brows. Dysport has been used safely for both medical and cosmetic purposes for over a decade and is FDA-approved.

How Quickly Does It Work?

One of the main reasons clients choose Dysport over other neuromodulators is its fast onset. While Botox can take 4 to 7 days to show results, Dysport often begins working within 2 to 3 days. For patients preparing for events or those who simply want quick improvement, this short turnaround makes it an appealing option.

At Jade MD Aesthetics, clients typically see peak results within one week. The smoother appearance lasts approximately 3 to 4 months, though individual results vary depending on metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle.

What Makes the Results Look Natural?

A major benefit of Dysport is its ability to produce soft, natural-looking results. The formula is designed to spread slightly more than other neuromodulators, making it especially effective for larger treatment areas like the forehead. This broader diffusion means fewer injections may be required, and the outcome often looks more seamless.

When administered by a skilled injector, Dysport smooths the forehead while preserving facial movement. You’ll still be able to raise your brows and show expression—just without the deep creases.

What Happens During the Appointment?

The procedure itself is quick and minimally invasive. After a short consultation, your provider will cleanse the area and use a fine needle to deliver small amounts of Dysport into targeted muscles. The entire process takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

Mild redness or swelling at the injection site is normal and usually subsides within a few hours. There's no need for downtime, so most clients return to daily activities right away. It's best to avoid strenuous exercise or lying down flat for the first few hours to allow the product to settle properly.

Is Dysport Right for You?

Dysport is ideal for adults who want to reduce moderate to severe forehead lines without surgery. It can also be combined with other treatments, such as dermal fillers or skin tightening services, as part of a full-face rejuvenation plan.

At Jade MD Aesthetics, every treatment is customized to match your goals and facial anatomy. During your consultation, a licensed provider will assess your muscle movement and make personalized recommendations for natural, balanced results.
