Dysport is a brand of botulinum toxin type A, a neuromodulator that is used to temporarily paralyze facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Dysport was first approved by the FDA in 2009, and has been used to treat a variety of cosmetic and medical conditions.
One of the key advantages of Dysport is its speed of onset. In clinical trials, many patients saw results within just 24 hours of their first injection, with optimal results visible after a week. Dysport injections typically last for about three to four months, depending on the patient’s individual physiology and the location of the injection.
Dysport is used to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns, including frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. It is also used to treat medical conditions such as cervical dystonia (neck spasms), spasticity in the upper limbs, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
Dysport is manufactured by Ipsen Biopharm Limited and is available by prescription only. As with all prescription medications, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if Dysport is appropriate for your individual needs and medical history.
