A Natural-Looking Alternative to Botox, Performed by a Physician
At MD Laser and Aesthetics Studio in Rancho Santa Margarita, we offer Dysport injections as a refined, effective option for smoothing dynamic wrinkles in the upper face. Known for its quick onset and soft diffusion, Dysport is ideal for patients seeking natural results with minimal downtime.
Unlike many practices, all Dysport treatments are performed by Dr. Ali Hamidi, a board-certified physician with advanced training in aesthetic medicine and facial anatomy. Whether you’re new to injectables or seeking an alternative to Botox, Dysport can help you look refreshed without looking overdone.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is a neuromodulator that works similarly to Botox by temporarily relaxing facial muscles responsible for expression lines. It is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) but is also widely used off-label for other areas of the face.
Dysport is known for its faster onset and slightly broader spread, making it especially effective for treating larger muscle groups, such as the forehead, with fewer units.
What Can Dysport Treat?
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (11 lines)
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Chin dimpling or creasing
- Eyebrow asymmetry or mild brow lift
- Early preventative treatment for wrinkle formation
For patients concerned with skin texture or aging beyond the muscle level, Dysport may be combined with laser skin resurfacing or PRP therapy for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Benefits of Dysport
- Quick onset (often within 2 to 3 days)
- Natural-looking movement with softened lines
- Ideal for broader forehead areas
- Long-lasting results (3 to 4 months)
- Comfortable, in-office procedure
- FDA-approved and clinically tested
- Physician-performed for precision and safety
Dysport is often the preferred choice for patients who feel they have a stronger muscle response or who want a softer, less “frozen” look.

Duration of Results:
Typically 3 to 4 months, though results may vary slightly based on muscle strength and metabolism.
Dysport vs. Botox: Which Is Right for You?
While both products are FDA-approved neuromodulators, there are subtle differences:
