What is Dysport®?
Dysport, also known as Reloxin, is made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum; it is the same neurotoxin used in BOTOX Cosmetic. Prescription Dysport® injectable is an FDA-approved treatment for temporarily lessening or eliminating moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows.
Dysport Treatment Areas
Medically, Dysport injectable is used to treat excessive underarm sweating; symptoms of cervical dystonia, which include neck pain and abnormal head position; and muscle spasms. Cosmetically, Dysport injections are used to treat the following:
- Forehead furrows
- Frown lines
- Crow's feet
- Skin bands on the neck
What Can I Expect From My Dysport Procedure?
Using a very fine needle, Dysport injectable is placed directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. No anesthetic is required, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream.

I have been here for IPL , Botox and consultation.
Professionals, great service, awesome people. Shannon and Amy are a fabulous team. Amy gave me genuinely honest information on a procedure others had encouraged me to do. Incredibly thankful for her candor and honesty.
I have scarring on my upper lip from a fall, had surgery but was hoping to use a touch of filler to even out scar. She explained why I don't want to use fillers in my situation. She was my third consultation, and what she told me made sense. I felt the other places I spoke with were not as knowledgeable as she was with regard to risks in using filler in an area with scarring. Every situation is different , of course, but very happy I chose Absolute Aesthetics and highly recommend them!

Dysport FAQs
Although made from the same bacterium, there is anecdotal evidence that Dysport injectable may last longer, spread farther, and take effect more quickly than BOTOX Cosmetic.
According to the manufacturer's website, candidates for Dysport injectable are "adults less than 65 years of age" who want "temporary improvement in the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)." It may not be suitable for those with the following:
- Allergies to Dysport injectable or its ingredients
- An allergy to cow's milk protein
- Surgical facial changes
- Very weak muscles in the treatment area
- A face that looks very different on each side
- Inflammation or infection in the area to be injected
- Droopy eyelids or sagging eyelid folds
- Deep facial scars
- Thick, oily skin
- Wrinkles that cannot be smoothed when spread apart
Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, or has a neuromuscular disease, should not receive Dysport injectable.
Eyelids can droop when Dysport injections are made in the glabellar region; they usually return to normal within 3 weeks. Side effects of Dysport injectable are the same as those of BOTOX Cosmetic:

- Bruising
