Dysport ^®

What is Dysport ^®?

Prescription Dysport ^®? is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age. 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.*

*In clinical trials, the efficacy of Dysport ^®? was studied in a total of 376 patients and was demonstrated with up to 4 repeated treatments. The safety of Dysport ^® has been studied in up to 12 repeated treatments.

How does Dysport ^® work?

With just 1 injection into each of 5 points between and above the eyebrows, Dysport ^®? blocks 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.
