Dysport is a injectable treatment that uses botulinum toxin type A to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles, primarily targeting moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. It is similar to other botulinum toxin products, such as Botox, but is formulated differently, which can make it kick in faster and last longer.

Results can last for up to 3 to 6 months, depending on individual factors like metabolism and the area treated.
