Dysport
I got 60 units of Dysport in my forehead 11s and a unit or 2 in the brow to lift it. Nothing happened. It's been 7 days
Thank you for sharing your question. Neuromodulators such as Dysport and Botox take up to 2 weeks for maximum effect. 60 units is a decent amount that should soften the frown and forehead lines. Without a before/after photo, it's difficult to say what could have "went wrong." Depending on when the vial was reconstituted, it is possible that the Dysport may have been less effective. It is always a good idea to keep the lines of communication open and follow up with your injector at 2 weeks, if you are dissatisfied with your results.
Clinical Context
Neuromodulators don't work instantly. After injection, the toxin needs time to enter nerve endings and block the signal that tells the muscle to contract — this process typically takes 1-2 weeks to show full effect. Different areas of the face may respond at slightly different speeds. Seeing little change at 7 days doesn't necessarily mean the treatment failed; it's still within the normal window for results to develop. If there's no visible improvement by 2 weeks, that's the right time to follow up with your injector.
