Dysport®
Dysport® is a prescription injectable medication that contains botulinum toxin type A, similar to BOTOX®. It's used cosmetically to temporarily reduce facial wrinkles and lines by blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it's injected.
Initially approved for certain muscle spasm disorders in Europe and Asia in 1991, Dysport became available in the United States in 2009 after receiving FDA approval for treating forehead wrinkles and frown lines. It is the second drug approved by the FDA for wrinkle treatment. Dysport, previously known as Reloxin, uses the same active ingredient as BOTOX but often offers a more natural look by smoothing wrinkles while allowing for natural expressions in the treated areas.
The effects of Dysport® can last several months before gradually wearing off, requiring additional treatments to maintain the desired results. The injectors at Bikowski Skin Care Center are committed to helping you achieve your cosmetic goals through Dysport treatment. Schedule a cosmetic consultation today to learn more.

BOTOX and Dysport are injectable neurotoxins used to reduce wrinkles. BOTOX (Allergan) and Dysport (Ipsen) have similar effects but differ in onset, spread, and cost. Results last about 3-4 months for both. Consult a professional for personalized advice on how to decide between the two neurotoxins.
