Wrinkles aren’t your style and the “frozen look” isn’t either. For adults who want a natural look, there’s Dysport, a prescription injection proven to help smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face. Untreated muscles still work normally, so you can continue to express feelings naturally. It’s the lines that disappear, not your expressions.
And because Dysport delivers the natural-looking results people want, 97% of users say they’d do it again.1 Additionally, Dysport is approved in 57 countries2 and has 25 years of clinical experience worldwide. Find out more about Dysport below, including how it works and what you need to know before starting treatment.
Dysport provides temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines that are caused by the activity of the procerus and corrugator muscles in patients. Dysport helps them look consistently natural—not frozen—because it allows the untreated facial muscles to work normally, which in turn helps patients freely show facial expressions in untreated areas.
Dysport® works by smoothing out wrinkles, which are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. One injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines. In other words: natural-looking results10 that look and feel like you.
Just one 10-20–minute treatment may help improve the look of the frown lines between your eyebrows for up to 5 months. Results of repeat treatments may be comparable to your first treatment. Another plus? There’s minimal downtime after your treatment, which means you can get back to your day faster.
Dysport is a prescription injection administered by a licensed healthcare professional for temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines (those wrinkles between the eyebrows) in adults less than 65 years of age.
Medically, it’s a botulinum neurotoxin (abobotulinumtoxinA), an acetylcholine release inhibitor and a neuromuscular blocking agent. It temporarily prevents specific muscle movements that cause frown lines
Dysport is supplied as a single-use, sterile, 300-unit vial. The dose of Dysport for a treatment of glabellar lines (frown lines between your eyebrows) is a total of 50 units injected equally among the specific muscles. The dose of Dysport is not the same as the dose of any other botulinum toxin product and cannot be compared to the dosage of any other botulinum toxin product that you may have previously used.
Although office visits can vary, the procedure generally takes 10 to 20 minutes.
Though results vary, changes can be seen in as little as 24 hours, with over half of users seeing improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows within 2-3 days.
One treatment of Dysport provides results that may last for up to 5 months.
The most common possible side effects are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.
Dysport and Botox are both made from botulinum toxin type A. All botulinum toxins have the same mechanism of action: blocking the release of acetylcholine (ACh) and preventing the muscles from contracting to maintain the aesthetic effect. However, the dose of Dysport is not the same as the dose of any other botulinum toxin product and cannot be compared to the dosage of any other botulinum toxin product that you may have previously used.
