Dysport offers many benefits, such as: Safe and Effective — Dysport is clinically proven to be safe and effective; it does not cause severe side effects or prolonged recovery periods. In fact, there are very few side effects associated with Dysport treatment; some patients may experience minor redness or swelling, which is normal and should go away within a few hours. Comfortable Treatment — The needles used to inject Dysport are incredibly thin (only slightly thicker than a strand of hair), which makes this treatment much more comfortable than other injections. As an added benefit, patients can obtain treatment without anesthetic or pain with Dysport. Wider Spread — One aspect that sets Dysport apart from similar products is that it spreads farther across the treatment area, which may result in fewer injections needed to achieve the desired result. The reason Dysport has a wider spread is that it has a lower protein concentration than other botulinum toxin injections, such as Botox. May Work for Patients Who Have Become Resistant to Botox — In some cases, people who receive repeated Botox injections may experience less pronounced results. This resistance is related to how the immune system reacts to the protein in Botox injections, therefore the lesser quantity of protein in Dysport may not induce this response, allowing the product to achieve its desired goal.
