DYSPORT

DYSPORT (abobotulinumtoxinA) is an injection that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults younger than 65. DYSPORT is made by the pharmaceutical company Galderma, the maker of Restylane dermal fillers such as Restylane Kysse and Restylane Lyft. Galderma, founded in 1981 and a completely owned subsidiary of Nestlé since 2014, provides a variety of medical and consumer skin health treatments through three business units: Aesthetics, Prescription, and Customer Service

DYSPORT functions as BOTOX does; however, it uses slightly different molecules to block transmission at the neuromuscular junction. DYSPORT temporarily prevents contraction of the muscles responsible for frown lines and crow’s feet by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscle. Untreated muscles continue to function normally, allowing you to express yourself naturally and confidently.

What are the DYSPORT treatment areas?
DYSPORT treats major dynamic lines such as the brow, frown line, and Crow’s feet. DYSPORT also treats other facial areas such as the masseter and chin muscles. DYSPORT can also reduce excessive underarms, hands, and feet sweating.

Aftercare for Dysport and BOTOX is similar.
Although office visits vary, DYSPORT is a quick procedure, 10-20 minutes. People can continue with their normal activities after treatment.

Some will have redness, pin prick marks, and possible swelling/bruising. Apply an ice pack to the affected area to decrease swelling, bruising, and pain, and avoid the prolonged sun, heat exposure, and strenuous exercise.
