Dysport in Alton, IL

Medically reviewed by Kaycee Eyers, APRN, Illinois-licensed · Updated October 2026

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is one of four neuromodulators we offer in Alton, and a favorite for patients who want a quick onset and a soft, natural spread across larger areas like the forehead. It is priced at $12 per unit, and every injection is placed by a licensed APRN or RN.

What Dysport is and how it works

Dysport is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A, the same family of treatment as Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Letybo. Injected in small amounts into specific facial muscles, it temporarily relaxes the muscle contractions that fold the skin into frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet. The result is a smoother, rested look that still moves naturally.

Why patients choose Dysport

Two traits make Dysport distinctive. It tends to take effect a little faster than other neuromodulators, often within two to three days, which matters when you have an event coming up. And it diffuses slightly more, which experienced injectors use to their advantage across broad areas like the forehead for an even, natural result. Our neuromodulator comparison guide walks through how it stacks up against the other options we carry.

Dysport pricing and units

Dysport is $12 per unit. One point of confusion worth clearing up: Dysport units are not the same size as Botox-type units, so a Dysport treatment uses more units to cover the same area. That is why comparing per-unit prices across brands without knowing the dose is misleading. We price every brand transparently and tell you the total for your plan before we start, so you can compare apples to apples. See our Botox cost guide for typical unit ranges by area.

Who is a good candidate?

Most healthy adults bothered by dynamic lines, the forehead creases, frown lines (the "11s"), and crow's feet that show when you move your face, are good candidates. Neuromodulators are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people with certain neuromuscular conditions. We review your history at your visit to confirm it is a safe fit.

What to expect at your appointment

A neuromodulator visit takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Your provider maps the muscles you want softened, cleans the area, and places a series of small injections; most patients describe a quick pinch, and numbing cream is available. Afterward, stay upright for a few hours and skip heavy exercise that day. Results begin in a few days, peak at about two weeks, and typically last three to four months. All injections at Melange Spa are performed by licensed medical professionals: Kaycee Eyers, APRN or aesthetic injector Kim Dunakey, RN, BSN, RNFA, NC-BC, never a technician.

Aftercare and side effects

The most common side effects are temporary: minor redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, and occasionally a mild headache. Serious complications are rare and far less likely in experienced medical hands. Skipping blood thinners, alcohol, and fish oil for a day or two before your visit reduces bruising. We review aftercare with you and stay available between visits.
