Dysport®
Achieve a Natural Look with Dysport® at Keystone Dermatology Partners
Dysport® is a prescription injectable that contains botulinum toxin type A, similar to BOTOX®, and is used to temporarily reduce facial wrinkles and lines by blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it is injected.
Initially approved in Europe and Asia in 1991 for certain muscle spasm disorders, Dysport received FDA approval in the United States in 2009 for treating forehead wrinkles and frown lines. As the second drug approved by the FDA for wrinkle treatment, Dysport (previously known as Reloxin) uses the same active ingredient as BOTOX® but may offer a more natural appearance by smoothing wrinkles while still allowing for natural facial expressions.
The effects of Dysport® typically last for several months before gradually diminishing, with follow-up treatments needed to maintain the desired look.

BOTOX and Dysport are injectable neurotoxins used to reduce wrinkles. BOTOX (Allergan) and Dysport (Ipsen) have similar effects but differ in onset, spread, and cost. Results last about 3-4 months for both. Consult a professional for personalized advice on how to decide between the two neurotoxins.
