Dysport® is an injectable neuromodulator that is very similar to Botox Cosmetic. Like Botox, Dysport uses the botulinum toxin to relax the muscles in the face most often associated with wrinkles and fine lines. Different patients often have different preferences on injectables, and here at Suite Six Medical Aesthetics, we can also make recommendations on which injectables will work best for your goals. Dysport is a great option for decreasing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Just like with Botox, Dysport works by relaxing the muscles in the injection area, which can help decrease the visibility of these lines.

What Are The Benefits & Treatment Areas For Dysport?
Similar to Botox, Dysport is used to primarily treat areas around the face including glabellar lines, and around the eyes and mouth. When combined with fillers, you can help improve your full face by adding volume to the cheeks and lips, while decreasing the visibility of lines and wrinkles. Together they can help create a more youthful appearance.

Dysport is most commonly used to handle the areas around the eyes, forehead, and nose. This includes crows feet, the “elevens” (the lines above the nose and between the eyebrows, and forehead lines.
