Discover a faster, natural-looking way to smooth moderate to severe frown lines and refresh your appearance.
In the world of aesthetic treatments, finding a solution that offers noticeable yet natural-looking results is key. For many women in Boise seeking to soften expression lines without looking “frozen,” Dysport has emerged as a leading choice. This FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin provides a safe and effective way to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, helping you look as vibrant and refreshed as you feel. At Sweet Spot Spa, our team of compassionate healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing treatments that enhance your confidence and overall well-being.
What is Dysport and How Does It Work?
Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription injectable that, like BOTOX®, utilizes a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. It’s designed to treat dynamic wrinkles—the lines formed by repeated facial movements like frowning, squinting, or concentrating. When you make these expressions, your facial muscles contract, causing the overlying skin to fold. Over time and as skin loses elasticity, these temporary folds can deepen into persistent wrinkles.
The treatment works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to specific muscles at the injection site. This relaxation of the muscle prevents it from contracting, which in turn smooths out the skin on top. The result is a visible reduction in frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). Importantly, when administered by a skilled professional, like those on our team at Sweet Spot Spa, the treatment doesn’t stop you from showing expression—it simply softens the targeted lines for a more serene and youthful appearance.
The Benefits of Choosing Dysport
Fast-Acting Results
One of the most appealing advantages of Dysport is its quick onset. Many patients report seeing improvements within just 2-3 days of treatment, with full results becoming apparent in about two weeks. This makes it an excellent option if you’re preparing for an upcoming event and want to look your best.
Natural-Looking Appearance
Dysport is known for its ability to create a very natural, smooth finish. Because its molecular structure allows for slight diffusion, it can be ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead, resulting in a softer, less “frozen” look. You can still smile, laugh, and show emotion, just with smoother skin. Clinical studies have shown that 97% of users felt their results looked natural.
Long-Lasting Effects
A single Dysport treatment can last for up to 4-5 months, depending on the individual’s metabolism and muscle activity. With consistent treatments, you can maintain your refreshed look year-round. We often see clients for just two or three sessions a year to keep their results looking seamless.
Minimally-Invasive with No Downtime
The procedure itself is quick, often taking only 10-20 minutes. It involves a series of small injections with a very fine needle, and discomfort is minimal. There’s no significant downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after your appointment. This convenience makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

What to Expect During and After Your Treatment
Your journey begins with a private consultation at Sweet Spot Spa. Our specialists will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial anatomy, and determine if Dysport is the right wrinkle treatment for you.
During the treatment, the targeted area will be cleansed, and your injector will make precise injections into the muscles that cause frown lines. The sensation is often described as a slight pinch.
Aftercare is straightforward and crucial for optimal results. We recommend the following:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
- Stay upright for at least 4 hours post-treatment.
- Refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot tubs for 24 hours.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours to minimize potential bruising.
Dysport vs. Other Neurotoxins
| Feature | Dysport | Botox |
|---|---|---|
| Onset of Results | Typically 2-3 days | Typically 5-7 days |
| Diffusion | Spreads more, ideal for larger areas like the forehead | More precise, stays closer to the injection site, ideal for smaller, targeted areas |
| Longevity | Up to 5 months | Around 3-4 months, can be longer in some cases |
| Molecule Size | Smaller molecules, contributing to faster onset and wider spread | Larger molecules |
Both are excellent options, and the best choice depends on your unique anatomy and goals. Our specialists offer a variety of neurotoxin treatments to provide a personalized plan.
