Dysport® in Sacramento, California
Aging often marks our skin with “dynamic” wrinkles—the lines that form around the eyes, forehead, and lips from years of expressions. At Facial Cosmetic Surgery Associates, we offer Dysport® as a premier, non-surgical solution to rejuvenate your appearance.
Why Sacramento Trusts Dr. Kaniff
Unlike many clinics where injections are delegated to staff, Dr. Thomas Kaniff personally performs or oversees your Dysport treatments. As a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, his deep understanding of facial anatomy ensures that every injection is placed with surgical precision for a look that is refreshed, not “frozen.”

Areas Treated with Dysport
Dysport is a versatile neuromodulator that excels at smoothing larger areas due to its unique “spread” characteristics. Common treatment zones include:
- Forehead Lines: Softens horizontal creases across the brow.
- Glabellar Lines: Eliminates the “11s” or frown lines between the eyebrows.
- Crow’s Feet: Smooths the fine lines fanning from the corners of the eyes.
- Bunny Lines: Reduces wrinkles on the sides of the nose.
- Lip Flip: Relaxes the upper lip to create a fuller, more defined look.
- Neck Bands: Softens prominent vertical bands (platysmal bands) for a smoother neck profile.
Dysport vs. Botox: Which is Right for You?
While both are botulinum toxin type A, they have distinct differences in how they behave under the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dysport
How much does Dysport cost in Sacramento?
Dysport is typically priced by the unit or the treatment area. Because it takes roughly three units of Dysport to equal the potency of one unit of Botox, the price per unit is lower. Most patients spend between $350 and $700 per session, depending on the number of areas treated. We provide transparent pricing during your initial consultation.Who is a good candidate for Dysport?
Ideal candidates are adults in good health with moderate to severe wrinkles who want a non-surgical solution. Because Dysport spreads more easily than other neuromodulators, it is often the preferred choice for those with broader forehead lines.Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a minor “pinch.” Because the needles are extremely fine and the procedure is quick, no anesthesia is required, though a topical numbing cream can be applied for sensitive areas.Related Resources & Galleries
