Dysport

Medicis is the pharmaceutical company that is bringing Dysport out in the United States. Medicis is a leading dermatological pharmaceutical company that is well respected in the industry. The introduction of Dysport will compete directly with Allergan's Botox, clearly the industry leader. Ultimately, time will tell which product is better based on duration and cost and effect.

Who Makes Dysport?

Hi, Dysport is made by Ipsen Pharmaceuticals in Europe and sold by Medicis in the US who also provide Restylane and Perlane. Dysport was launched in summer of 2009 and the inital FDA approval was for 50 units to the frown area to last an average of 89 days. Since we have had experience with Dysport in the US now for over a year, the amount of units, duration of response, and any side effects have been more clearly delineated.

Who is the Supplier or Developer of Dysport?

Dysport is made by Ipsen in Europe and distributed here by Medicis, the company that also distributes Restylane and Perlane.

Dysport now available in the United States through Medicis

Dysport is a close relative of Botox that is now available in the United States through Medicis.
