One of the most common aesthetic treatments performed by doctors is injections composed of the botulinum toxin. While Botox is the most well-known of these injections, several other brands are available on the market, including Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Dysport. Although all of these brands are composed of botulinum toxin, they differ in various aspects, such as accessory proteins, molecular weight, and concentration.

Both Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins used to treat wrinkles that, when injected, relax the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This keeps wrinkles from forming. They are different from fillers, another popular way to treat wrinkles, as they target the muscles for relaxation instead of filling in the subcutaneous areas. While Botox and Dysport have similar methods of action, the differences lie in the amount needed for effective treatment as well as the length of time for each one to take effect. After an injection of Botox, it generally takes up to two weeks to show the full results, although some patients receiving Dysport injections may have more immediate effects. Botox lasts around three to six months, and Dysport is FDA-approved to last four months. However, in certain situations, Dysport may last as long as six months, depending on the individual and their lifestyle factors.

Dysport is approved to treat glabellar lines, the vertical wrinkles located in the middle of the forehead, between the eyebrows. They most often start to form during early adulthood and can become more prominent due to decreased elasticity caused by the natural aging process. Glabellar lines can also become more noticeable when squinting, instilling a frowning or angry appearance. Dysport is intended for people who have moderate to severe glabellar lines; patients with mild wrinkles in this area may not qualify for this type of procedure.
 
In addition to this, Dysport also has medical uses, such as severe muscle spasticity of the limbs in adults and children. Dysport is FDA-approved for use in the treatment of cervical dystonia (a condition that affects neck and head movement), lower limb spasticity in children, and spasticity in adults.

The time it takes to see results from Dysport varies from one patient to the next and depends on several factors, such as the area of administration, the condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, and the patient’s individual physiology.

On average, it takes around two days to see results from a Dysport treatment, which can be enjoyed for up to four months. Because the procedure is non-invasive, patients can go home immediately after the injections, and while there is virtually no recovery time needed, slight side effects may be experienced. To lower the risk of side effects and minimize the chances of spreading the toxin, take care to avoid rubbing the site of the injections.
