What is Dysport and how often can it be repeated?
Dysport is a prescribed injection used to temporarily improve the look of frown lines without changing the look of your whole face — untreated facial muscles still work normally, so you can smile and show expression in the areas around the treated one. It delivers temporary improvement in moderate to severe frown lines even with repeated use, and the effect of a repeat treatment may be comparable to your first. You should wait at least 90 days between Dysport treatments.
