Dysport is Galderma's brand of botulinum toxin type A, FDA-approved for frown lines. It relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, with a slightly faster onset (2–5 days) and a more diffuse spread than Botox that some providers prefer for larger areas. Results last about 3–4 months.
Dysport is Galderma's brand of botulinum toxin type A. Like Botox, it relaxes the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles, and it's especially popular for the frown lines between the brows. Many providers favor it for its slightly faster onset and a more diffuse spread that can suit larger areas like the forehead. Results typically appear within 2–5 days and last 3–4 months.
For a practice, Dysport is a core neuromodulator that lets injectors tailor product choice to the patient and area — a meaningful differentiator in a competitive tox market. Because the units and dilution differ from Botox, patient education matters: framing Dysport's fast onset and natural movement, and previewing the result on the patient's own photo, builds the confidence that converts a consult.

Neither is universally better — they're both botulinum toxin type A. Dysport can show results a bit faster and spreads slightly more, which suits broader areas, while Botox is the most recognized brand. The right choice depends on the area and your provider's technique.
Dysport is dosed differently from Botox (roughly 2.5–3 Dysport units per 1 Botox unit), so the numbers look higher but the cost per area is comparable. Your provider calculates dosing based on the treatment area and muscle strength.
Most patients see 3–4 months of smoothing before movement gradually returns and treatment is repeated.
