WHAT IS DYSPORT®?
/ ABOUT DYSPORT®
HOW IS DYSPORT® DIFFERENT FROM BOTOX®?
DYSPORT® and BOTOX® are both Botulinum Toxin Type-A, but are made by different companies. BOTOX® has been available longer, but DYSPORT® is also now FDA approved and has been found to be as safe and effective as BOTOX®.
Although DYSPORT®, like BOTOX®, is made from Botulinum Toxin Type-A, they differ by the number of proteins that surround the active molecules. Due to DYSPORT® having less protein than BOTOX® means that this injectable spreads over a wide range. This allows for quicker absorption and less needle sticks.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH DYSPORT®?
DYSPORT® is approved to treat the “elevens”, or frown lines between the eyebrows. Also called glabellar lines, the muscles between the eyebrows can be relaxed using DYSPORT® in order to decrease the appearance of lines and creases between the eyebrows.

/ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DYSPORT®
HOW DOES DYSPORT® WORK?
1 injection. 5 points.
DYSPORT® temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. 1 injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines.
DYSPORT® is an injectable-neuromodulator, which means it works by temporarily blocking the nerve impulses of the target muscle.
