Dysport is abobotulinumtoxinA, which is another type A Botulinum toxin, analagous to Botox Cosmetic. It is just nicely on the US market, but has been used in Europe for nearly 20 years. It achieves the same results, be it muscle relaxation, wrinkle reduction, sweat elimination, etc. It is manufactured and sold by Medicis (maker of Restylane & Perlane) whereas Botox Cosmetic is manufactured by Allergan. Most practices are offering Dysport at a slightly lower price than Botox as an introductory offer, so you might be able to save a few dollars!
