Botox and Dysport are both non-surgical neuromodulators used for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. Both products contain one key active ingredient: Botulinum Type A. One of the main differences between Botox and Dysport is the level of concentration in each product. Dysport is more diluted than Botox with a 3:1 ratio.
-
Another difference between the two products is their molecular behavior and diffusion. Dysport tends to spreads faster, especially over a larger surface area, with just a few injections unlike Botox. Lastly, Dysport should be avoided by patients who are allergic to milk whereas Botox is safe for use for patients with milk allergies.

How long has Dysport been used for?
Though approved in the United States for aesthetic use in April 2009, Dysport has a history of use in other countries since 1991. It was first approved for use in 2001.
Are there any common side effects with Dysport?
The most common side effects are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.

How long does a Dysport treatment take?

How does Dysport work?
With just one injection into each of the five points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport 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.
How often can I receive Dysport injections?
You should wait at least 90 days between Dysport treatments. The safety of Dysport has been studied in up to 12 repeated treatments. Clinical studies demonstrated continued efficacy with up to four repeated treatments.
Do I need to tell my provider about medications I'm taking?
Tell your provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal and other natural products.

Especially tell your doctor if any of the following applies:
