If you’ve ever noticed those stubborn vertical lines between your eyebrows—commonly called the “11’s”—you’re not alone. These lines form over time as repeated facial movements like frowning, squinting, or even smiling contract the muscles. As our skin loses elasticity with age, these lines can become permanent, giving off a tired or stern expression—even when you’re perfectly relaxed.
The good news? Dysport offers a quick, effective way to soften these lines and restore a smoother, more relaxed appearance. Here at Barris, our experienced team helps you achieve natural-looking results that leave you looking refreshed—not frozen.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for the “11’s.” By gently blocking nerve signals, Dysport prevents the muscles from contracting and deepening those lines.
What makes Dysport unique is its smaller molecular structure, which allows it to spread evenly and quickly in the treated area. This can result in faster, natural-looking results—especially for larger areas like the forehead or between the brows.
Why Dysport Works for the “11’s”
- Fast-Acting: Many clients notice smoother skin in just 2–3 days, with full results within two weeks.
- Natural-Looking: Dysport softens the lines while keeping your expressions natural—you still look like you.
- Long-Lasting: Results typically last 3–4 months, and regular treatments may extend this timeframe.
- Quick & Convenient: Treatment takes just minutes with little to no downtime—perfect for busy schedules.
- Safe: When administered by our skilled injectors, Dysport has a proven track record for cosmetic use.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Getting Dysport for the “11’s” is simple:
- Consultation: We’ll review your goals, examine your facial anatomy, and determine the right dosage.
- Preparation: The area is cleaned, and a numbing cream or ice may be applied if desired.
- Injection: Small amounts of Dysport are injected into the target muscles—usually just 2–4 points.
- Aftercare: Avoid rubbing the area, lying down, or strenuous activity for a short period to ensure optimal results.
Side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. Serious complications are rare when administered by a trained professional.
Who Can Benefit from Dysport?
Dysport is perfect for adults looking to smooth moderate to severe glabellar lines. It works well for those in their 30s–50s but can also be used preventatively or on deeper lines for older patients. Dysport may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with certain neuromuscular conditions, or anyone allergic to botulinum toxin products.
