Dysport® in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL at Dermagnify is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin that offers a safe, effective, non-surgical solution for smoothing dynamic wrinkles, particularly frown lines.
At Dermagnify, Medical, Surgical and Cosmetic Dermatology in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Dr. Mark A. Cappel, MD, offers expert Dysport® treatments to help patients achieve natural, beautiful results.
Dysport® works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating expression lines, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out and soften. With a slightly different formulation than other neurotoxins, Dysport® has a reputation for fast onset of action and natural-looking results due to its diffusion characteristics.
We proudly serve patients in Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and throughout Northeast Florida. As a double board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist with extensive training in facial anatomy and injection techniques, Dr. Cappel, MD, delivers precise, artistic results that enhance your natural beauty while maintaining your unique facial expressions.
Dysport® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses purified botulinum toxin type A (abobotulinumtoxinA) to temporarily relax specific facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles.
Approved in the United States in 2009, Dysport® has been used internationally for decades with an established safety profile. It is specifically FDA-approved for treating moderate to severe frown lines (glabellar lines) in adults.
Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated facial expressions over time. Every time you frown, the underlying muscles contract, causing the skin to fold and crease. Over time, these repeated contractions create permanent lines that remain visible even at rest.
Key Concerns Addressed
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
Highly effective for reducing the vertical "11" lines between the eyebrows that can create an angry or worried appearance.
Forehead Lines
Smooths the horizontal lines across the forehead, often providing a very natural-looking result due to its diffusion characteristics.
Crow's Feet
Softens the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes.
Bunny Lines
Reduces the diagonal lines that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching the nose.
Other Dynamic Wrinkles
Can be used for other expression lines based on Dr. Cappel, MD's expert assessment.

Patient-Focused Approach
While all neurotoxins work by relaxing muscles, there are subtle differences in their formulations, onset, and diffusion characteristics.
Understanding these differences can help you and Dr. Cappel, MD, choose the best option for your needs.
With a slightly different formulation than other neurotoxins, Dysport® has a reputation for fast onset of action and natural-looking results due to its diffusion characteristics.
| Treatment | Key Feature | Onset | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dysport® | Fast-acting, greater diffusion | 2-3 days | Larger areas like the forehead; patients seeking faster results |
| Botox® | Gold standard, precise targeting | 3-7 days | Precise treatment of small muscle groups (e.g., crow's feet) |
| Letybo® | Newest option, comparable to Botox® | 3-7 days | Patients seeking an alternative to Botox® with similar characteristics |
