How Long Does Dysport Last?

The short answer

For most people, Dysport results last about 3 to 4 months. Lines start to soften within a few days, and the effect gradually fades as the muscles slowly return to normal movement.

The Dysport timeline

Here is what most patients experience after treatment:

• Days 2 to 3: lines begin to soften for many patients.
• Days 3 to 7: most patients see their results take shape.
• About 2 weeks: results settle into their full, natural look.
• Months 3 to 4: movement gradually returns and lines start to reappear.

What affects longevity

No two faces are the same, and several factors influence how long your results last.

• Muscle strength. Stronger muscles may use up the treatment more quickly.
• Treatment area. Some areas, like crow's feet, may fade at a different pace than the forehead.
• Dose and technique. A plan tailored to your facial movement makes a real difference.
• Lifestyle. Metabolism, stress, sun exposure and activity level can all play a part.

The goal is not to freeze your face. It is to soften lines while keeping you looking like you.

When to schedule a touch-up

Most patients return every 3 to 4 months, ideally as movement starts to come back rather than after lines have fully returned. Booking at that point helps keep results steady and natural.

If you are new to Dysport, your injector will review your first results with you and set a schedule that suits your face and your goals.

Making results last

1. Follow aftercare. Avoid rubbing the treated area and strenuous exercise for the first day, as advised by your injector.
2. Protect your skin. Daily SPF helps keep skin healthy and lines from deepening.
3. Stay consistent. Regular visits tend to give smoother, more predictable results than long gaps.
4. Check in. Tell your injector how your results feel so your plan can be adjusted.
