 
You glance in the mirror with a relaxed face, yet the lines between your brows are still there. You are not frowning, but those 11 lines can make you look tired or worried when you feel anything but.
Dysport is a great option for softening these lines, including many that stay visible at rest. At PURE Medical Spa, we look at your brows both in motion and relaxed so your plan and expectations are just right.
Key Takeaways
- ✓Dysport relaxes the frown muscles, so lines between the brows look softer.
- ✓Many resting lines improve, though very deep creases may not fully disappear.
- ✓Dysport is FDA approved for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.
- ✓Curious what is realistic for you? Book a consultation with our injectors.
Why Frown Lines Stay Visible
Lines that appear only when you frown are dynamic wrinkles. Lines that remain when your face is relaxed are static wrinkles. Most people have a mix of both, and years of frowning can fold a dynamic line into a settled crease. Our guide to dynamic vs static wrinkles explains the difference in more detail.
How Dysport Works
Dysport contains abobotulinumtoxinA, which temporarily reduces the signals that make selected muscles contract. Injected between the eyebrows, it eases the frown so the skin is folded less often. It does not fill a crease or add volume, which is why a deep line can soften without vanishing entirely.
What the Research Shows
Clinical studies of Dysport have measured frown lines both during expression and at rest, and participants showed improvement in resting lines. The pivotal studies left out people with deep scarring or lines that could not be substantially smoothed by gently spreading the skin, so results for very deep creases can differ.

Many people simply want to look less tense while still looking like themselves. Telling your injector something like “I want the crease softer, and I understand it may not disappear” helps set a shared goal. Wondering about timing? Read how long Dysport lasts.
What If a Deep Line Remains?
A line that stays after treatment does not mean Dysport failed. Muscle activity may be much lower while a settled crease takes longer to soften or needs another approach. Ask for a review before adding more product, since more is not automatically better. Your injector may suggest options that work on the skin itself.
Frown Lines vs Forehead Lines
Vertical lines between the eyebrows are different from horizontal forehead lines. Dysport’s approved cosmetic use covers moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Treating forehead lines with Dysport is an off label use, so your injector will explain the plan for each area. If you are comparing products, see Botox vs Dysport.
Comparing Before and After Photos
Compare photos with matching expressions, lighting and angles. A relaxed after photo next to a strong frown before photo can look more dramatic than the real change. Bring examples you like to your consultation to show your preferences.
GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Dysport help frown lines visible at rest?
Yes, many resting frown lines soften once the muscles between the brows relax. Very deep creases may stay partly visible, so your injector will set realistic expectations.
Does Dysport work on deep frown lines between the eyebrows?
It reduces the muscle activity that deepens them, which often helps them look softer. How much a deep crease improves depends on how etched it is in the skin.
Can Dysport remove 11 lines completely?
It can improve their appearance at rest, but complete removal is not guaranteed. An examination shows whether your line is mainly from movement or a settled crease.
How long does Dysport take to work on frown lines?
Many people notice softening within a few days, with the full effect by about two weeks. Settled creases can keep looking smoother over time as the skin is no longer folded as often.
Why are my frown lines still visible after Dysport?
Your result may still be developing, or a crease may remain even though the muscle moves less. Book a review before assuming you need more product.
