Dysport® in Denver, CO

Dynamic facial lines form over time from everyday expressions like smiling, squinting, and frowning. When those lines linger even at rest, injectable wrinkle relaxers such as Dysport® can soften their appearance while preserving natural facial movement and expression.

At Peak Plastic Surgery Center in Denver, Dysport treatments are planned and performed with precision under the guidance of fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Barker. Every injectable plan reflects the practice’s boutique philosophy — measured, intentional care focused on balance, longevity, and results that look appropriate in every setting.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause expression lines. By limiting repetitive muscle contraction, the skin overlying those muscles appears smoother and more rested.

Dysport works similarly to other neuromodulators but has unique characteristics that make it a preferred option for some patients, particularly when treating larger muscle groups.

How Dysport Works

Dysport blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle contraction. Once the muscle relaxes, the overlying skin is no longer repeatedly folded, allowing lines to soften gradually over several days.

Results are temporary, which allows treatments to be adjusted over time as facial anatomy and goals evolve.

Areas Commonly Treated With Dysport

Dysport is commonly used to treat:

  • Frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes

In select cases, Dysport may also be used for concerns such as excessive sweating or muscle-related facial imbalance, depending on individual needs.

How Dysport Differs From BOTOX® Cosmetic and Daxxify®

While Dysport, BOTOX Cosmetic, and Daxxify are all neuromodulators, they differ in formulation, spread, and duration.

Compared to BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport tends to diffuse more broadly within the treated muscle, which can make it a good option for larger areas like the forehead and may create a softer transition between treated and untreated muscles. Dysport is also known to have a slightly faster onset for some patients, while Daxxify is designed to last longer, with results that may extend several months beyond traditional neuromodulators.

During your visit, Dr. Barker evaluates facial movement patterns, aesthetic goals, and treatment history to determine whether Dysport, BOTOX Cosmetic, Daxxify, or another option is most appropriate for you.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dysport?

Dysport may be a good option for adults who want to reduce expression lines without surgery. You may be a candidate if you:

  • Are bothered by lines that appear with facial movement
  • Have tried other neuromodulators and want an alternative
  • Want subtle softening rather than a frozen look
  • Are in good overall health

A private consultation helps determine candidacy, dosing, and treatment intervals based on your facial anatomy and goals.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

Dysport injections are performed in the office and typically take less than 15 minutes. After evaluating muscle activity, injections are precisely placed into the targeted areas.

Most patients resume normal activities immediately. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur and usually resolves within a day. It is generally advised to avoid strenuous exercise and lying face down for 24 hours.

Initial changes often begin within two to three days, with full results visible within about two weeks. Results typically last three to five months.
