What Is Dysport and What Does It Treat?
Dysport Aesthetic contains abobotulinumtoxinA, a botulinum toxin type A medicine that temporarily reduces movement in selected facial muscles. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at nerve endings, reducing targeted muscle activity. In Canada, it is authorized for moderate-to-severe glabellar lines and lateral canthal lines in adults under 65.
At Celebrity Laser & Skin Care, Dysport is offered for frown lines between the brows, also called glabellar lines. These expression lines develop through repeated frowning. Treatment suitability depends on facial movement, anatomy, medical history, and individual goals.
Treatment areas are selected during your assessment based on facial movement, anatomy and treatment goals.
Dysport vs Botox: What Is the Difference?
Dysport and Botox Cosmetic are both prescription botulinum toxin type A wrinkle-relaxing injections, but they are different products and their units are not interchangeable. The right choice depends on the treatment area, previous response, facial movement, medical history and physician assessment.
Dysport results typically begin to appear within 2–3 days and generally last about 3–4 months. Botox results generally appear within 5–10 days, with full results in 1–2 weeks, and typically last 3–5 months. These ranges can vary by individual response and should not be read as evidence that one treatment is better than the other.
Read more about Botox injections, then discuss both options during your consultation.
What to Expect at Your Dysport Appointment in North Vancouver
Your appointment starts with a physician assessment rather than a preset injection plan. Dr. Morum reviews your concerns, facial movement, medical history, medicines and previous botulinum toxin treatments before deciding where treatment is appropriate.
1. Assessment: Your goals, medical history and previous injectable treatments are reviewed.
2. Mapping: The relevant muscles and treatment points are identified.
3. Injection: Small intramuscular injections are placed at the selected points. Brief injection-site discomfort may occur.
4. Aftercare: You receive instructions based on your treatment and medical history.
Dysport results may begin to appear within 2–3 days and generally last about 3–4 months. Repeat Dysport treatment should not be scheduled more frequently than every three months.
Current botulinum-toxin aftercare guidance
- Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours.
- Do not rub, massage or manipulate treated areas for several hours.
- Follow Dr. Morum’s instructions about medicines and follow-up, and contact the clinic about unexpected reactions.

Is Dysport Right for You?
Suitability is checked during your consultation
Dysport’s Canadian product monograph lists specific contraindications and medical situations that need to be discussed before treatment.
Usually a Good Fit
- Adults under 65 seeking temporary improvement in moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows.
- People whose lines are linked to repeated facial muscle movement.
- People comfortable with temporary results and periodic reassessment.
Talk to Us First
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy.
- You have an infection at the proposed injection site.
- You have an allergy to Dysport ingredients or cow’s milk protein.
- You have a neuromuscular, swallowing or breathing condition.
- You recently received another botulinum toxin product.
- You take medicines that may affect neuromuscular transmission.
- You are aged 65 or older, as Dysport Aesthetic’s Canadian cosmetic indications do not include this age group.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dysport FAQs for North Vancouver Clients
How much does Dysport cost in North Vancouver?
Dysport pricing depends on your physician's assessment and treatment plan. To ask about current pricing for your needs, call the clinic or book a consultation before treatment. This gives you pricing based on the treatment plan recommended for your concerns rather than a general online figure.
When will I see results from Dysport?
Dysport results typically begin to appear within 2–3 days. Individual response varies, so your own result may develop on a different timeline depending on factors such as muscle activity, treatment area and your response to treatment.
How long does Dysport last?
Dysport effects generally last about 3–4 months, although duration varies between clients. Health Canada also states that the clinical effect may last up to four months and that treatment should not be repeated more frequently than every three months.
Is Dysport the same as Botox, and can I switch?
No. Dysport contains abobotulinumtoxinA, while Botox Cosmetic contains onabotulinumtoxinA. Their potency units cannot be directly compared or converted. If you are considering switching, tell Dr. Morum which product you previously received, when it was given, how you responded, and why you are considering a change.
What are the side effects of Dysport?
Reported effects include headache, injection-site pain or bruising and eyelid drooping. Rare serious effects related to toxin spread can include swallowing, speech or breathing problems. The Canadian product monograph advises seeking immediate medical care if swallowing, speech or breathing problems develop.
Who should not get Dysport?
Dysport is contraindicated for people with an infection at the proposed injection site, allergy to its ingredients or allergy to cow's milk protein. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, neuromuscular disorders, swallowing or breathing problems, recent botulinum toxin treatment and certain medicines should be discussed with the physician.
Do I need a consultation before Dysport?
Yes. A consultation allows Dr. Morum to review your concerns, facial movement, medical history, medicines and previous injectable treatments before deciding whether Dysport is suitable. Free consultations are currently available for injectable services, with online and phone booking available.
