Will Dysport work on a 70 year old woman?

By the Get Clear Beauty team · Published June 29, 2026 · How we research pricing

Neurotoxins like Dysport absolutely work on older patients, including women in their 70s, though deeply set static wrinkles respond differently than the dynamic lines in younger skin. Dysport costs $300–$700 per treatment nationally, or roughly $4–$6 per unit, and many providers consider it the go-to neurotoxin for larger treatment areas because it spreads more readily than Botox.

How long does a Dysport last?

Dysport typically lasts three to four months, which is consistent with other neurotoxins. Some patients report it kicking in slightly faster than Botox — often within two to three days — though the duration is comparable. Results vary based on how active your facial muscles are, your metabolism, and how many units were injected.

Prices vary by location and provider.

How much do 50 units of Dysport cost?

At the national average of $4–$6 per unit, 50 units of Dysport would run you roughly $200–$300. Most forehead and glabellar (between-the-brow) treatments use 50–100 units, so a standard appointment typically lands between $300 and $600 depending on the areas treated and your provider's pricing model. Some practices charge per unit; others charge a flat treatment fee.

Is Dysport cheaper than Botox?

Dysport is generally priced lower per unit than Botox, but because it's less concentrated, providers typically use more units to achieve the same effect — so the total cost per treatment usually comes out similar. The more meaningful comparison is the per-area or per-treatment price, which tends to be comparable between the two. Where Dysport sometimes wins on cost is for larger treatment areas like the forehead, where its natural spread can mean fewer injections to cover the same surface.

What are the disadvantages of Dysport?

Dysport's wider diffusion, which is an advantage for broad areas, becomes a disadvantage near smaller muscles. Around the eyes or lips, that spread can affect muscles you didn't intend to treat, which is why provider experience matters enormously with Dysport. Other potential downsides include bruising at the injection site, temporary headache, and in rare cases, drooping of the eyelid (ptosis) if the product migrates. These risks exist with all neurotoxins and are minimized by choosing an experienced, licensed injector.
