Skin Concerns
Dysport’s approved cosmetic use is moderate to severe frown lines in adults under 65. Other aesthetic areas discussed here are off-label. Your provider should explain the benefits, risks, and alternatives for the specific concern. Fillers and laser procedures have different uses and also require assessment.
Ideal Candidate
Suitability depends on the product, treatment area, medical history, and medicines. Tell your provider about prior toxin reactions, muscle or nerve conditions, swallowing or breathing problems, and infection at a proposed injection site. Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding before considering elective treatment. Dysport is contraindicated in people with cow’s milk protein allergy. Do not stop prescribed medicines without the prescribing clinician’s advice.
Treatable Areas
Dysport is approved cosmetically for frown lines; forehead lines, crow’s feet, lip flips, masseter treatment, neck bands, underarm sweating, and TrapTox are off-label uses. Your provider selects a product-specific dose. The price examples below are not dosing instructions and use billing units rather than actual Dysport units.
Softer Expression Lines
Why You'll Love It
A prescription neuromodulator with product-specific dosing and an individualized treatment plan.
Wrinkle Reduction
The goal is to soften suitable expression lines while preserving natural-looking movement. Reduced expression, asymmetry, or unwanted weakness can still occur.
Onset Varies
Some people notice change within days. Onset varies, so allow time for follow-up and unexpected effects before an event.
Precise Dosing
Treatment is tailored to anatomy and goals. Precise planning does not eliminate the possibility of unwanted weakness or reduced expression.
Plan for Your Response
Plan treatment timing around your individual response and follow-up, rather than a guaranteed two-day result.
Is Dysport Right for You
Your provider assesses suitability before recommending treatment. Medical history, the intended use, and your expectations all matter.
Dynamic Wrinkles
Lines can reflect muscle movement, sun exposure, and other skin changes. Your provider assesses the cause and explains which product uses are approved or off-label, rather than choosing a procedure from age alone.
Jaw Tension & TMJ
If you grind your teeth or have jaw pain, start with an assessment of the cause. Masseter injections may be considered off-label for selected patients, but they are not an established solution for every temporomandibular disorder. Chewing weakness and changes in facial appearance are possible; discuss alternatives and the limits of the evidence with your clinician.
Preventative Treatment
Some adults consider treatment before expression lines become more noticeable. Preventing future wrinkles is not a guaranteed outcome or a reason everyone should start young. Discuss current concerns and the option of no treatment.
Hyperhidrosis
Botox has an approved indication for severe primary underarm sweating inadequately managed by topical treatment. The injection is into the skin, and suitability and duration of benefit vary. Botox prescribing information describes this specific medical use; it should not be assumed to apply to Dysport.
Lip Flip
A lip flip is an off-label use of a botulinum toxin product. It aims to change how the upper lip appears during movement, rather than add volume. Unwanted weakness can affect lip function. Discuss those risks and alternatives, including whether a lip filler consultation is appropriate, before choosing a procedure.
Neck Bands & TrapTox
Dysport use for cosmetic neck bands is off-label. Botox Cosmetic has a separate FDA-approved platysma-band indication, which does not transfer to Dysport. TrapTox is an off-label trapezius treatment with potential weakness and other complications. Ask about the evidence, risks, and alternatives for the specific concern.
Dysport vs. Botox at ELLEMES
Botox and Dysport are different botulinum toxin products with different approved uses and product-specific doses. Botox is $13 per Botox unit; Dysport is $13 per Botox-equivalent billing unit at ELLEMES. Billing units are a pricing convention, not interchangeable drug units. Your provider confirms the product, actual dose, and total quote before treatment.
Dysport is FDA-approved cosmetically for moderate to severe frown lines in adults under 65. Other aesthetic areas discussed here are off-label. Your provider explains benefits, risks, and product-specific dosing.
What to Expect: Before, During & After
A Dysport appointment at ELLEMES typically takes 15–20 minutes. Here’s the process from preparation through to maintenance.
Preparation
Tell your provider about all medicines and supplements, including aspirin, ibuprofen, anticoagulants, fish oil, and vitamin E. Do not stop or change a prescribed medicine unless the clinician who prescribed it advises you to. Arrive with clean skin. First appointments allow 30 minutes for consultation and treatment; return visits are typically 15 minutes.
Consultation & Mapping
Your provider assesses your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and marks the injection sites. The treatment plan is determined based on your muscle activity and desired outcome — not a standard area template.
The Treatment
Injection discomfort varies. Some patients describe a brief pinch; pain and bruising can occur. Tell your provider about needle sensitivity and ask about appropriate comfort measures.
Results Develop
Changes may begin within days and continue to develop. A two-week follow-up can assess response and concerns; it is not a promise of a settled result or an automatic additional injection.
Maintenance
Duration varies by product, area, and individual response. Review the result with your provider before deciding on further treatment; repeat procedures should follow product labeling.
Immediately After
Many patients can resume light daily activity, but discomfort, swelling, or bruising may affect plans. Follow individualized aftercare and report unexpected symptoms. Seek immediate medical care for difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking. See our post-care instructions.
Dysport Cost in Atlanta
Dysport is billed at $13 per Botox-equivalent billing unit. The table below shows pricing examples in billing units, not actual Dysport doses. Your provider confirms the product-specific dose and total quote during consultation.
Per-Unit Pricing
For illustration, 40–60 Botox-equivalent billing units cost $520–$780. This pricing convention does not equate or convert the biological units of Dysport and Botox. Your treatment plan specifies the actual Dysport dose.
Book Consultation* All unit examples in this price table are Botox-equivalent billing units, not actual Dysport doses. Doses and suitability vary; some listed treatment areas are off-label. Lip flip is billed at the $150 flat fee listed on our price list. Your provider confirms the actual Dysport dose and total quote.
How Often & Why
A single treatment shows you how your muscles respond, how much softening you prefer, and whether the dosing feels right. A solid baseline for establishing your ongoing protocol.
Some patients consider repeat treatment around three to four months. Timing should follow your response and product labeling; rebooking sooner is not a proven way to extend the effect.
At each visit, review the previous response, side effects, goals, and whether further treatment is appropriate. Do not assume that repeated treatment will require fewer units or last longer.
Discuss timing and suitability if you are also considering dermal fillers or MOXI laser. A combined visit is not automatically appropriate or more effective.
How Dysport Works
Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell specific facial muscles to contract. When those muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out — reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by years of repeated expressions like squinting, frowning, and raising your brows.
Dysport and Botox have different formulations and product-specific dosing. Some patients notice an early change, while results continue to develop. Individual response varies; brand alone does not guarantee faster onset or a particular pattern of spread.
Botulinum toxin products have product-specific medical indications. Dysport treatment for jaw clenching, cosmetic jaw slimming, neck bands, or underarm sweating is off-label. Your provider should discuss the evidence, risks, and alternatives for your particular concern.

Real Patients, Real Results
Verified Google reviews from ELLEMES patients who chose us for Dysport or Botox.
I’ve always had strong genetics when it comes to my frown lines, so at 26 I finally decided to try a little tox (wanted something very subtle) and it genuinely changed my life. Since then, Thao has been my go-to for the past few years. Thao is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, quick, and makes everything feel so easy and practically painless. She takes the time to understand what you want while still keeping everything natural.
Ellemes is such an inviting and knowledgeable medspa! Thao takes the time to consult with you to understand exactly what you’re looking to achieve with filler and neurotoxin injectables and ensures the treatment itself is as comfortable as possible. I absolutely love the results I’ve gotten from facial balancing with Thao!
This is my second round of prp-ezgel under eye filler and dysport for my 11s with Thao, she does a great job and makes the process very smooth and my results are long lasting and look very natural.
“Thao is amazing!! I was nervous getting Dysport for the first time and she alleviated all my concerns. I had deep forehead lines and was nervous about my brows drooping post treatment so we went relatively light. She made it super easy, painless, and I now look amazing. If you're on the fence about getting Dysport, I highly recommend taking the plunge and making an appt with Thao!”
“Always a great experience with Thao at Ellemes (and the whole staff, really). I've been seeing Thao for dysport for more than a year and highly recommend her for any injectables. She's so knowledgeable, kind and thorough and always keeps me looking my best.”
“Thao is amazing! I've been getting Dysport injections in my trapezius muscles to help with chronic tension headaches, often time they lead to migraines. The results have been amazing! The pre & post appointment instructions are super detailed. Also comes with videos to help with step by step navigation to their office. I work in the Events industry and it's a much appreciated touch for my planner brain!”
“I cannot recommend Thao enough for masseter botox! Not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she also has such a calm and reassuring presence that makes the entire experience smooth and stress-free. She took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable throughout, and the results speak for themselves. If you're considering jawline enhancement, she's definitely the person to go to!”
“My experience at Ellemes Med Spa was nothing short of AMAZING! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism. Thao was absolutely fantastic! She took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything thoroughly, and made me feel completely at ease. Her expertise and care made all the difference, and I couldn't be happier with the results of my botox as it looks completely natural.”
“I couldn't be happier with my experience getting lip filler and Botox with Thao! She is truly the best — professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and listened to exactly what I wanted. My lips look naturally plump and symmetrical, and the Botox smoothed out my fine lines perfectly without looking overdone.”
“I had such a great experience at Ellemes Med Spa. This was my second time seeing Thao, and both times were very good. She helped me feel comfortable and was able to answer all of my questions. Such a smooth and painless experience. Definitely recommend booking your Botox or filler with Thao! I'll be bringing my mom in next!”
“Thao did my masseter botox and she did amazing. She was very informative. She is very gentle and she knows what she's doing. This place is very clean and friendly so I recommend this place for everyone who is wanting to look / feel better!”
“I went and saw Thao for some Botox. I can't recommend her enough! She was knowledgeable and so gentle. She listens to what you want! The atmosphere was relaxing and also the entire staff is super friendly.”
“First time seeing Thao at Ellemes Spa and I'm OBSESSED. She did cheek filler + Botox (facial rebalancing) and honestly… she's a magician. It didn't hurt at all, she made me feel so comfortable, and the results are insane — I feel SO snatched but still extremely natural. Like I've contoured my face with no makeup on. My new forever person. If you're thinking about filler or Botox, RUN to her. She's the real deal.”
“I had a great experience with Thao and the team at ELLEMES. I went in for forehead Botox, masseter Botox, and a microneedling treatment. Thao was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel very comfortable. The whole team was friendly and professional, and the environment was very welcoming. Highly recommend!”
“I got Botox done by my girl Thao and I'm OBSESSED. She was so gentle, explained everything, and made me feel super comfortable. The results look so natural but smoothhh. If you're thinking about it, book with her!”
