• What is Dysport? Dysport is a botulinum toxin injection that temporarily relaxes the muscles causing facial lines and wrinkles.

• What areas is it for? Dysport treats frown lines between the eyebrows, and smooths lines on the forehead and around the eyes that show up when you frown or squint.

• What are the results? The result is smoother, more youthful skin. One treatment lasts up to four months, with results in 2-4 days and full effects in two weeks.
