Dysport®, approved by the FDA, is for the treatment of facial lines. It is similar to Botox, a botulinum toxin protein, that temporarily inhibits muscles activity. Like Botox it is an injectable product that provides a smoothing effect in treated areas like the crows feet, forehead, and lines between the eyebrows. Dysport may begin to act sooner the Botox, perhaps within 24 to 48 hours.

Some studies have shown that Dysport may even last longer than Botox. One potential advantage to the introduction of Dysport is for patients who did not respond to Botox. Dysport is a different protein and therefore, if Botox did not work well for a patient Dysport may.
