What Is Dysport and How Does It Work?
Dysport is an FDA-approved neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A. It’s designed to temporarily reduce muscle activity in targeted areas, primarily used to treat glabellar lines (those “11” lines between your brows).
When injected, Dysport blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. As those muscles relax, the skin above them smooths out. Dysport is known for its fast onset (results often appear within 2–4 days) and its ability to diffuse slightly more broadly than Botox, making it an excellent option for larger or more spread-out treatment areas.
