Dysport™ is an advanced wrinkle-reduction option, similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic. This purified protein weakens the muscles that cause common wrinkles, especially in the forehead and between the eyebrows.
FDA-approved in 2009 and developed by Medicis Aesthetics, Dysport™ is a trusted alternative to BOTOX®. It specifically targets “11” lines, relaxing the muscles that create wrinkles. Studies confirm that Dysport™ is both safe and as effective as BOTOX®.

ABOUT DYSPORT
Dysport™ (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a botulinum toxin type A that effectively reduces muscular spasm by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine from nerve endings. With a history of safe use in patient care since 1991 and marketing authorizations in 75 countries, Dysport™ has gained recognition for its therapeutic benefits. In the United States, it is FDA-approved for two indications: the treatment of cervical dystonia to alleviate abnormal head position and neck pain, and the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults under 65 years old. Medicis proudly markets Dysport™ for its aesthetic use in addressing glabellar lines.
WHAT DYSPORT TREATS
Cervical Dystonia
Dysport™ is approved for the treatment of cervical dystonia, a neurological disorder characterized by abnormal head position and neck muscle spasms. It helps reduce the severity of abnormal head movements and associated pain.
Glabellar Lines
Dysport™ is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines, which are the vertical lines between the eyebrows. It can help smooth and soften these lines for a more youthful appearance.
Muscle Spasms
Dysport™ is effective in reducing muscular spasms caused by various conditions. It works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in muscle contractions, providing relief from spasms.
Therapeutic Uses
Apart from the above indications, Dysport™ has marketing authorizations in multiple countries for additional therapeutic uses, such as the treatment of spasticity in upper limb muscles, focal spasticity, and certain types of facial wrinkles.
