Dysport® Injections Dysport® , like BOTOX® is a purified protein that relaxes muscles. In large quantities this drug could be lethal, however in the small amounts used for facial cosmetic purposes, Dysport® has been widely tested and is extremely safe. The relaxation produced by Dysport® is temporary (usually 3-6 months), as the treated muscle will gradually 'wake up' over time. Our experience with Dysport® has shown the product to be very similar in action, onset, and duration to Botox®. Procedure Treatment with Dysport® consists of a few tiny injections taking only a few minutes. The Dysport® relaxes the muscles that create facial wrinkles (dynamic wrinkles). It is typically used for frown lines between the eyes, horizontal forehead creases, and wrinkles in the crow’s feet area. The effect begins within 3-5days and lasts up to 4 months. Unlike surgery, Dysport® injections are fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery. Despite the relative ease of the injections, a qualified physician experienced with the use of Dysport® should perform the procedure. Most people return directly to work or normal activity following treatment. Side effects are rare but might include minor bruising or unintended weakness of muscles causing transient eyelid or eyebrow droop.
