How Does Dysport Spread in Forehead Without Side Effects?

Dysport, like Botox, is a type of botulinum toxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles to reduce wrinkles. When injected into the forehead, it spreads locally to affect targeted muscles, limiting movement. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, but it’s crucial to consult with an experienced medical professional for proper administration and to discuss potential risks based on individual health factors.

Dysport can be used interchangeably with Botox with great results. Although it can spread slightly more than Botox, in experienced hands, you shouldn't have much of a problem when trying Dysport for the first time. You may try a conservative treatment and add more with a touch up in 2 weeks if you are concerned with the potential of the product spreading and causing side effects. The products work in the same manner and have all of the same risks and side effects.

I do not suggest switching back and forth between neurotoxins. If Botox works, stick with it until you begin to develop resistance to the product. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
