Call around to find Dysport
I spoke with the Dysport yesterday who said that sales have perked up. So call around.

Finding a Dysport Physician
It is not at all difficult to find a physician who injects Dysport, which is readily available and distributed by the same company that distributes Restylane, a popular dermal filler.
