Dysport has many similarities to Botox. Both injectables are non-invasive muscle relaxers that are used to correct a variety of age complications, in particular wrinkles and fine lines. Dysport is composed of a botulinum toxin that causes your facial muscles to relax. It is injected under the skin and used in targeted areas. Dysport treats moderate to severe cases of wrinkles. After injections are administered, the muscles under your skin will relax which will smooth out specific areas on your face, greatly reducing the appearance of fine lines. Results generally last for 3-6 months, after which you will need to go for additional treatments. Botox fillers work very similarly to Dysport as they both have the same active ingredient botulinum toxin A. With the result being a softer and more relaxed muscle, this weakened virus works by blocking nerve signals to target muscles. Wrinkles and forehead lines are eliminated with muscle relaxation for certain periods of time. Botox injections are effective for 3-6 months. Botox and Dysport are often used analogously because of their similarities. However, Botox is manufactured by a company that exclusively serves the U.S market Allergan. Dysport had already been popularly used in Europe for some time before the FDA approved it for use in the US in 2009.
