Dysport™ is a prescription injection for temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.
What is Dysport™ and how does Dysport™ work?
Although Dysport™ was just recently FDA approved in the United States, Dysport™ has a history of use in other countries since 1991. Dysport™ is a purified formulation that has been shown to deliver temporary improvements in moderate to severe frown lines, even with repeat treatments. So the effect of repeat treatment with Dysport™ may be comparable to your first use!
A Dysport™ injection stops the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.
Once muscle movement is reduced, the skin's surface will gradually smooth out, and you will notice the lines in your face begin to fade. The untreated facial muscles still contract normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as laughing, in untreated areas.
The effects of Dysport™ can differ in patients. Most patients can expect to return for repeat treatments every four months. If you decide that Dysport™ is not for you, the treated areas will return to normal pre-treated appearance.
