Dysport® injections contain botulinum toxin (type A) that helps relax your muscles by blocking the release of a chemical called acetylcholine. This chemical is responsible for the action of contracting smooth muscles.
During a treatment session, our Dysport® trained practitioner injects the formula into the targeted area, which temporarily weakens the tense muscle.
There are a variety of toxin products available on the market that includes Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®.
The most popular toxin products are Botox® and Dysport®.
What are the main differences between Botox® and Dysport® injections?

Costs
Dysport® is considered more cost-effective than Botox® due to the quantity required per injection differs.
