How Does Dysport Spread in Forehead Without Side Effects?

Dysport side effects in the forehead
Dysport is comparable to botox in treating forehead wrinkles. Just like botox injections there can a forehead drop .

Dysport and Botox have comparable results

Dysport to treat the forehead
Dysport probably does not spread in the forehead more than Botox when similar volumes of each are injected. The study that suggested otherwise used larger volumes of of Dysport than Botox. It is to be expected that larger volumes might migrate further. Once adjustments are made for the different potency or strength of Dysport, it is just as effective as Botox. Best yet, it is less expensive. I have been using Dysport since it was available and am as comfortable with it as Botox. My...
