Neuromodulator Treatment
Dysport® Cosmetic Injections
FDA-approved injectable treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and other dynamic wrinkles.
Dysport® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—lines that form with repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, and raising the eyebrows.
Dr. Berens uses Dysport® to achieve natural-looking results that soften the appearance of wrinkles while preserving your ability to make natural facial expressions. Treatment is performed with precision to ensure balanced, subtle outcomes.
As a prescription medication, Dysport® must be administered by a licensed medical professional. Dr. Berens personally performs all injections following a thorough medical evaluation.
How Dysport® Works

Precision Injection
Dysport® is injected into specific facial muscles using fine needles. The procedure takes approximately 10-20 minutes.

Crow's feet: Lines around the outer corners of the eyes
Bunny lines: Wrinkles on the sides of the nose
Gummy smile: Excessive gum display when smiling
Neck bands: Vertical bands in the neck (platysma)
During your consultation, Dr. Berens will assess your facial anatomy and recommend the most appropriate treatment areas for your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Dysport® different from BOTOX®?
Both Dysport® and BOTOX® are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work similarly. Dysport® tends to diffuse slightly more, which can be advantageous for treating larger areas. Dr. Berens will recommend the most appropriate product based on your individual anatomy and treatment goals.
Is Dysport® painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during Dysport® injections. The needles used are very fine, and the procedure is quick. Topical numbing cream can be applied if desired.
How long do Dysport® results last?
Dysport® results typically last 3-4 months. Individual results vary based on factors such as metabolism, muscle strength, and dosage. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include temporary injection site reactions (redness, swelling, bruising), headache, or eyelid drooping (rare). Dr. Berens will discuss all potential risks during your consultation.
When will I see results?
Most patients notice improvement within 2-3 days, with full results visible within one week. This gradual onset creates a natural-looking transformation.
Can I combine Dysport® with other treatments?
Yes. Dysport® is often combined with dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation—neuromodulators address dynamic wrinkles while fillers restore volume. Dr. Berens will create a personalized treatment plan.
