What is dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved prescription medication that is used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause facial muscles to contract, thus relaxing those muscles and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Dysport is made from the same active ingredient as Botox, botulinum toxin type A. However, Dysport may have a faster onset of action and a more natural-looking result than Botox. The effects of Dysport typically last for about 3-4 months before another treatment is needed.

Dysport injections are performed by a healthcare professional and generally take about 10-20 minutes to complete. Side effects may include temporary numbness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, as well as headache or flu-like symptoms.

It is important to inform your healthcare provider if you have any allergies, medical conditions, or are taking any medications before receiving Dysport. Dysport is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
