Dysport is an injectable neurotoxin used to temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity that contributes to expression lines and wrinkles. At The Skin Chic in Virginia Beach, Dysport treatment is customized according to your facial anatomy, natural movement, and aesthetic goals.

The goal isn't necessarily to eliminate expression. Your injector evaluates how your face moves and determines where treatment may create a smoother, more refreshed appearance while maintaining facial balance and the degree of movement you prefer.

Dysport is one of several neurotoxin options available at The Skin Chic, alongside Botox and Xeomin. The right choice depends on the individual rather than one neurotoxin being universally better than another.

Dysport is a prescription injectable treatment containing abobotulinumtoxinA, a botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily reducing signaling to selected muscles, decreasing the muscle activity responsible for certain dynamic wrinkles.

Dynamic wrinkles develop through repeated facial movements such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. By reducing targeted muscle activity, Dysport can soften the appearance of these expression-related lines.

The effects are temporary, and muscle activity gradually returns over time.

Dysport treatment is personalized according to your facial movement, anatomy, and goals rather than following the same injection pattern for every client.

In aesthetic treatment, neurotoxins are commonly used in areas of the upper face where repeated muscle movement contributes to visible expression lines. Your injector will assess the areas that concern you and determine whether Dysport is appropriate.

Facial symmetry, muscle strength, existing movement patterns, previous neurotoxin treatment, and the degree of movement you want to retain can all influence placement and dosing.

Dysport may be considered when expression-related muscle movement is contributing to lines or wrinkles you would like to soften.

Not every visible line is primarily caused by muscle activity. Skin quality, collagen loss, sun damage, volume changes, and other factors can also influence the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

When movement is the primary concern, a neurotoxin such as Dysport may be appropriate. When the concern is related more to volume, pigmentation, texture, or skin laxity, another treatment may make more sense.

Your injector can evaluate both your face at rest and during expression to determine whether Dysport aligns with your goals and how much movement should be retained.

Dysport, Botox, and Xeomin are all botulinum toxin type A neurotoxins used to temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity, but they are different products with different formulations.

There isn't one option that is automatically best for everyone. Previous treatment experience, treatment area, individual response, injector recommendation, and aesthetic goals can all influence product selection.

An important distinction when comparing the three is that units are not directly interchangeable among Dysport, Botox, and Xeomin. The number of units used with one product shouldn't be assumed to be equivalent to the same number of units of another.

Your injector can recommend the neurotoxin and dosing approach appropriate for your individual treatment plan.

Dysport and dermal filler are both injectable treatments, but they address fundamentally different concerns.

Dysport changes targeted muscle activity. Dermal filler adds or restores volume, structure, support, or contour.

That distinction is important when evaluating a concern. A line caused primarily by repeated facial movement may call for a neurotoxin approach, while changes involving facial volume or structural support may be better suited to filler.

Some treatment plans may involve both, but combining treatments isn't automatically necessary. Treatment selection should begin by determining what is creating the concern.

Your Dysport appointment begins with an assessment of your facial anatomy, muscle movement, treatment history, concerns, and desired outcome.

Your injector can observe how your face moves during different expressions before determining the appropriate treatment areas, placement, and dosing strategy. Dysport is then administered to the targeted areas according to your personalized treatment plan.

New clients can begin with an injectable consultation to discuss their goals, treatment options, and personalized recommendations. The current injectable consultation fee is $75 and may be applied or waived according to The Skin Chic's current consultation policy.

Your injector will provide treatment-specific aftercare instructions and explain what to expect following your appointment.

Dysport results aren't instantaneous. Changes generally begin to become noticeable within the first several days as activity in the targeted muscles decreases, with results continuing to develop afterward.

Because individual response varies, onset and final appearance won't be identical for every client. Your injector can provide guidance about the expected timeline and whether a follow-up evaluation is appropriate.

Dysport is temporary, with results commonly lasting approximately three to four months. Individual longevity varies.

Treatment area, dose, muscle activity, metabolism, and individual response can all influence how long the effects remain noticeable.

Rather than assuming everyone should return on exactly the same schedule, maintenance can be based on how your results evolve and your personal treatment preferences.

The Skin Chic currently prices Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin according to the number of neurotoxin units used.

Standard neurotoxin pricing is:
• 49 units and under — $14 per unit
• 50 units and over — $13 per unit

Beauty Vault neurotoxin pricing is:
• 49 units and under — $13 per unit
• 50 units and over — $12 per unit

Because Dysport units are not directly
interchangeable with Botox or Xeomin units, comparing these treatments based solely on per-unit price can be misleading. Your total treatment cost depends on the product selected, treatment areas, dosing, and individualized treatment plan.

Pricing is current as of publication and is subject to change. Final pricing is based on your personalized treatment plan. Please refer to The Skin Chic treatment menu for current pricing and availability.

Dysport addresses muscle movement, while other treatments may be appropriate for concerns involving facial volume, structure, skin tone, texture, or collagen.

Dermal fillers can address selected areas where volume or structure is the priority, while Sculptra stimulates collagen production progressively. Professional facials, laser treatments, and microneedling address different aspects of skin quality and rejuvenation.

These treatments aren't automatically needed alongside Dysport. The purpose of a personalized treatment plan is to identify the source of each concern and determine which approach makes sense for it.

Choosing Dysport isn't simply about treating a wrinkle. Understanding which muscles are contributing to the concern, how your face moves, and how much movement you want to retain are all part of developing an individualized treatment plan.

At The Skin Chic, your injector evaluates those factors before recommending Dysport, Botox, Xeomin, or another treatment based on your anatomy and goals.
