AM I A CANDIDATE?

Is Dysport right for you?

✓ Good Candidates

• Dynamic frown lines, forehead lines, or crow's feet • Want natural-looking softening, not a frozen look • Prefer faster onset, or have a larger area to treat • Comparing Dysport and Botox and want guidance • Have prior neuromodulator history to review • Healthy adult with realistic expectations

⚠ May Not Be Right For

• Pregnant or breastfeeding • Active neuromuscular disease (ALS, myasthenia gravis) • Main goal is volume loss or skin texture (other treatments fit better) • Expect one product to be universally best • Want product choice without medical review • Known allergy to the neurotoxin formulation

A consultation with a dermatologist-trained SOM provider confirms candidacy, dose, and whether Dysport or Botox fits your goal.

ABOUT THE TREATMENT

Soften expression lines with a faster-onset neuromodulator.

Dysport is an abobotulinumtoxinA neuromodulator that relaxes the muscles behind expression lines, like the frown lines between the brows. It softens those lines while keeping movement natural.

Dysport, Botox, and Letybo use product-specific unit systems that are not interchangeable. Product choice is based on treatment area, facial movement, prior response, and the personalized plan confirmed during consultation.
