Subtle change can make a meaningful difference. Dysport is a
prescription injectable treatment used to relax targeted muscles,
softening expression lines and easing muscle-related discomfort.
At Christchurch Periohygiene, Dysport treatments are approached with
precision, restraint, and a clear understanding of facial function, so
results feel natural, balanced, and intentional.
Dysport is a prescription medicine made from botulinum
toxin type A. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals
to specific muscles, reducing their activity.
This helps soften dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and
crow’s feet, and can also assist with conditions like jaw
tension, teeth grinding, and gummy smiles. Results typically
begin to appear within a few days and last around three to
four months.

Precision, Not Overcorrection
Every treatment is planned with a detailed understanding of facial anatomy and muscle function, ensuring balance rather than over-treatment.
Small, precise injections are used to achieve soft, controlled outcomes that preserve natural expression.
You’ll understand what Dysport can and cannot do, with realistic expectations discussed before treatment begins.
