Dysport is an injectable treatment that relaxes the muscles responsible for frown lines between the brows, softening the etched look they create. It offers a quick, non-surgical way to refresh the upper face. Dr. Claire B. Davis, a board eligible plastic surgeon in Asheville, provides Dysport treatments informed by a surgeon’s understanding of facial muscle anatomy, for natural-looking, expression-preserving results. Schedule a consultation to see whether Dysport fits your goals.
Learn how a precise Dysport treatment can soften frown lines while keeping your expressions natural.
The gap between a rested look and a frozen one is a matter of units and millimeters. Get the dose and the muscle right and frown lines soften while your face still moves naturally; get them wrong and the result announces itself. Anatomy is what decides which way it goes.
Dr. Davis trained through a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, building a detailed knowledge of facial anatomy that informs every injection. Recognized in the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society for academic achievement, she brings careful, individualized judgment to each treatment plan.

Dysport is an injectable form of botulinum toxin type A. The frown lines that form between the brows are created when the underlying muscles repeatedly contract during expressions like squinting or concentrating. Over time, that repeated movement etches vertical lines into the skin.
When Dysport is injected into those specific muscles, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell them to contract. With the muscles relaxed, the skin above smooths and the frown lines between the brows soften. Dr. Davis performs treatments in her AAAASF-accredited facility, dosing conservatively to relax the targeted muscles while preserving natural movement across the rest of the face.
Dysport offers a fast, non-surgical refresh for the area between the brows, with several practical advantages.
By relaxing the muscles between the brows, Dysport eases the vertical frown lines that can make the face look tired, tense, or stern, leaving a smoother, more rested appearance.
A Dysport appointment typically takes only minutes, and most patients return to their usual routine the same day, making it a convenient option that fits into a busy schedule.
Careful, conservative dosing relaxes only the targeted muscles, so you keep the ability to express yourself naturally rather than appearing frozen.
Smoothing the frown lines often softens the overall impression of the upper face, contributing to a rested look that complements your natural features.
Dysport suits many adults bothered by moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows. A consultation with Dr. Davis confirms whether it is the right choice for your goals and facial anatomy.
You may be a good candidate if you:
A personal consultation determines candidacy and allows Dr. Davis to tailor dosing to your anatomy.
A Dysport appointment is quick and comfortable, following a clear sequence from assessment to aftercare.
Dr. Davis evaluates the muscle movement between your brows, discusses your goals, reviews your medical history, and confirms that Dysport suits your anatomy.
The treatment area is cleansed. Because the injections use very fine needles, most patients are comfortable, though a topical numbing option is available on request.
Dr. Davis administers small, measured amounts into the targeted muscles between the brows, calibrating dosing and placement to your individual muscle pattern.
She reviews the injection points for balance, confirming even placement across both sides so the result settles symmetrically.
You receive simple instructions, such as staying upright and avoiding rubbing the area, to help the treatment settle as intended.
Because results are temporary, Dr. Davis schedules follow-up to assess your outcome and plan maintenance treatments that sustain a smooth, rested look.
Dysport involves little downtime, and results appear gradually over the days following treatment.
Small bumps or mild redness at the injection points are common and typically fade within hours. You can return to most activities right away while avoiding rubbing the treated area.
Stay upright for several hours and avoid strenuous exercise, as directed. Any minor bruising begins to resolve during this window.
Results begin to appear within a few days and continue to develop. The frown lines between the brows progressively soften as the treated muscles relax.
Dysport results are temporary and gradually wear off over several months. Periodic maintenance treatments sustain the smoothing effect; Dr. Davis tailors the timing to your response.
nothing that looks « done. » Reaching that takes conservative dosing and a clear read of how your upper face moves, which is exactly the judgment Dr. Davis brings to every plan.
Her UT Southwestern residency built a working knowledge of facial muscle anatomy that informs each injection, and treatments are delivered in an AAAASF-accredited facility. From your first consultation, dosing is calibrated to you, not a standard chart.
Dysport cost varies based on the number of units needed to treat the frown lines between your brows, which differs from patient to patient. Dr. Davis provides a personalized quote during your consultation after assessing your muscle movement and goals.
Dysport and Botox are both botulinum toxin type A injectables used to soften frown lines. Each has its own formulation and dosing. Dr. Davis selects the option best suited to your facial anatomy and goals during your consultation.
Can Dysport be combined with other treatments?
Dysport often fits into a broader facial plan alongside treatments that address concerns it does not. Dr. Davis can discuss combinations during your consultation.
Pairing Dysport with dermal fillers addresses both muscle-driven lines and volume loss, since each targets a different cause of facial aging.
Adding Sculptra supports gradual, longer-term volume through collagen stimulation, complementing the muscle-relaxing effect of Dysport.
Combining microneedling improves skin texture and tone, refining the surface while Dysport softens underlying lines.
A consultation helps Dr. Davis sequence any combination around your goals.
Dysport results are temporary and typically last several months before the treated muscles gradually regain movement. Individual results vary based on dosing, muscle strength, and metabolism. Periodic maintenance treatments help sustain the smoothing effect over time.
