Dysport®

Dysport® is a versatile prescription medicine that has a wide range of therapeutic uses.

Dysport® was first adapted to treat medical conditions but has gained popularity because it is a simple and effective way of reducing facial wrinkles without the need for surgery. In addition, it keeps the muscles immobile for several months so people often lose the habit of frowning or squinting. This helps prevent the lines from returning.

“Note: Dysport® treatment lasts about four months and after this time further courses of treatment may be necessary. Speak to your specialist about your own situation”.

As well as providing relief for hemi-facial spasm; blepharospasm; torticollis; spasticity in cerebral palsy; post-stroke spasticity, Dysport® is approved in New Zealand for excessive underarm sweating and frown lines.
