Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) for Injection is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and a neuromuscular blocking agent indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with procerus and corrugator muscle activity in adults ˂65 years of age.

Soften & Smooth

Over time, the way you move your face, including a frown or that scrunched-up skeptical look, can cause wrinkles and fine lines. There’s a fix for that, even if other cosmetic treatments have failed you. Dysport injections are a natural-looking cosmetic treatment targeting moderate to severe frown lines in between the eyebrows, also known as “11’s”.

Dysport is a prescription injectable that works by targeting the areas of the forehead that cause those wrinkles in the first place. The injections temporarily prevent those facial muscles from contracting, smoothing out your skin and softening your forehead. The immediate results are subtle but will only improve over time.

FAQs

Your provider will inject Dysport into five spots between your eyebrows or your glabellar lines, essentially in a V-shaped formation. Those injection sites are strategic. It’s where you’re most likely to scrunch up your face when you frown or squint, causing deep-set wrinkles over time.

This is where the magic happens. The injections work by temporarily preventing muscle contractions in those targeted spots on your forehead. Reducing the activities that cause wrinkles also means fewer wrinkles over time and natural-looking results that leave you looking fresh-faced.

Dysport injections are best in patients under 65 who haven’t had luck improving moderate to severe wrinkles between the eyebrows. Dysport treatment is also for the low-maintenance crowd. There is zero downtime associated with Dysport injections, and any visible marks that you had anything done at all are very temporary.

Your results, though, are long-lasting.

Most will see improvement in 2-3 days after their treatment. Considering your treatment will only take 10-20 minutes tops, that’s an impressive turnaround time. Again, most will go about their day right after treatment, as Dysport is a minimally invasive, non-surgical way to address those stubborn wrinkles.

Dysport is similar to Botox in that both can be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, and both are botulinum toxin injections. Dysport is primarily used to treat the area between the eyebrows or frown lines and works best in moderate to severe wrinkles. If you’d like to address fine lines and wrinkles in your forehead, crow’s feet, even areas of the lower face, Botox injections may be more appropriate.   

Our Experts will match you up with the treatments you need to get the results you want.

Dysport injections last about three months in the average patient, but some will see results for 5-6 months. Subsequent treatments tend to last longer than the first round, and you may find your wrinkles improving over time as you continue receiving Dysport.

For the best results and to reduce the chance of any side effects after your treatment, our experts have a few tips around what to expect with Dysport before and after your procedure.

Important Safety Information Distant Spread of Toxin Effect

Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of Dysport and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, blurred vision, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have underlying conditions that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses and in approved indications, cases of spread of effect have been reported at doses comparable to or lower than the maximum recommended total dose.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

  • Hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin product or excipients
  • Allergy to cow’s milk protein
  • Infection at the proposed injection site(s)

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

  • The potency Units of Dysport are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, units of biological activity of Dysport cannot be compared to or converted into units of any other botulinum toxin products.
  • Immediate medical attention may be required in cases of respiratory, speech or swallowing difficulties.
  • Recommended dose and frequency of administration should not be exceeded.
  • Dry eye may occur with glabellar line treatment, if symptoms persist, consider referring patient to an ophthalmologist.
  • Concomitant neuromuscular disorder may exacerbate clinical effects of treatment.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

  • In clinical studies, the most frequently reported adverse events (≥2%) were nasopharyngitis, headache, injection site pain, injection site reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid edema, eyelid ptosis, sinusitis, nausea, and blood present in urine.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

  • Concomitant use of Dysport and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission or muscle relaxants, should be observed closely because effect of Dysport may be potentiated.
  • Anticholinergic drugs may potentiate systemic anticholinergic effects.
  • The effect of administering different botulinum neurotoxins during course of treatment with Dysport is unknown.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

  • Dysport is not recommended for use in children or pregnant women.
