Dysport
Dysport is an injectable medication that temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles. It contains botulinum toxin type A, which stops nerve signals from reaching the muscles.
Dysport is commonly used to treat wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), and crow's feet around the eyes.
