It was the first time I had anything like this and the nurse suggested Dysport. She did my forehead, which came out fine, but also around my mouth. For at least a week, it felt like I had had a stroke. I couldn't really feel my mouth, I burnt myself drinking coffee, and my friends were sure I had had a stroke. This was in January 2011. Maybe they have taken care of this problem by now.

I've had Dysport 3 times now. It's great. Lasts longer, doesn't hurt as much and looks more natural. The droopy eyelid people are talking about has to do with the person injecting it. They just don't know how to do it right. It spreads more than Botox so they have to inject it higher and not so close to the eyebrows.

I received Dysport less than two weeks ago and have made an appt to go back and receive a third treatment next week. It seems as though my body needs alot of it to start working. With Botox it took within 3 days with only one small touchup. I will see if it lasts longer than Botox, if not I'm definently going back with the Botox.

I was a bit skeptical but I was on a cruise and saw the md's lecture. I went up to her and asked about a consultation. I told my husband and he said "go for it" I am 44 and have bad crow's and my smile wrinkle was going down my cheek. Anyway, I had it done last Thursday, so we are on day 4 and I have started to see something--first it started in my cheek and now I don't have that big wrinkle and now today I am noticing at the outside corner of my eyes, the crow's feet are not as pronounced. I am waiting to see what happens under my eyes. I did invest in a good hydrating eye gel as the dr suggested.

I am 55 and have the severe line in between my eyebrows that makes me look angry all the time. I had Dysport treatment (quite a few injections) and while the line smoothed out very nicely for about 2 months, I developed severe headaches and once I tripped, knew my mind was telling my foot to stabilize myself, yet could not react in time. Luckily that has gone away and not reoccurred. I have noticed a transfer of my 'tension' from frowning down into my jaw. And about 9 weeks later, the line is getting pronounced again.... not sure whether I will go back again or not....

I just got it done today. This is my first time. I noticed a difference within hours. The nurse said to keep my head up for the first 4-6 hours and not to wear a hat or anything on my forehead for 2 weeks. This is to help it not spreading down. So far I love it, my frown lines are gone!

I love Dysport. I had been using Botox with great results, so I was hesitant on trying something new. However, my doctor told me it was cheaper and lasted longer and she was right. I saw the results within 3 days and it lasts around 5 months for me.
For all of those concerned with it spreading and causing a droopy eyelid, I believe it depends on your doctor and his/her knowledge with the product. My doctor told me that it is thinner and spreads; therefore, she didn't go close to my eyelid and it still smoothed out the wrinkles. She also did my crows feet and only used two injections at the start of the area closest to my hairline. She did this so I would not have any negative side effects and I have not.
I realize that everyone's body responds differently, and while I love Botox, it often gave me a headache after the injection. I've not had any side effects with Dysport. I'm completely satisfied.

My first time with anything "cosmetic" and I just turned 49. I do not have the typical "11's" between my brows, but what looks like sagging muscle After 60 units of Dysport I am already noticing a difference. After about 4 hours, one of the girls in my office commented that I looked more "rested". I did not divulge my secret until after her comment. I only did a small area, because I was worried about reaction. Will definitely do more in the future.

I had Botox last year in between brows & outer brows and it worked great. This past Friday, my nurse injector asked if I would like to try Dysport so I decided to try it. It's the same price as Botox, but supposedly it works faster. It's only been 2 days so I can't tell yet. I am only using it to get a little eyebrow lift so I'm hoping it doesn't have the opposite effect after reading some of these reviews. Eventually I would like to get a brow lift, so these injections are a temporary until I can afford the lift. I received 2 injections ($75 total) - one on each "outer" brow. The nurse injector will call me on Friday and said I'm welcome to come back in a week if I don't notice any difference. There will be no charge.

I love the effect that Dysport has done for me thus far! I noticed results within hours and it keeps improving.
I had the glabellar region done to get rid of my "Elevenses", that I HATED, I looked tired and angry. My son would often ask me why I was mad, and my husband would tell me that I even scowled in my sleep. I've been dealing with depression as well and decided a little pick-me-up was in order.
While I still have to deal with real life of course, I can't stress enough how much just being able to look in the mirror and not see that angry two-lane highway between my brows has done for me, it lifted my spirits quite a bit!
The PA that did the injections for me also used Dysport on her own glabellar region and her forehead looked great and still allowed some natural up and down movement that was important to me, so I trusted her judgment for placement and deservedly so.
I have used Botox once in the past; it seemed to freeze everything and I looked like a Stepford Wife or Zoe-bot, not to mention wearing off in less than 3 months.
Now, I look like I feel inside, which is better and better everyday. Well worth the slight pinch (not too bad, but I also didn't use topical numbing cream beforehand) and the price (less than what I paid even with Buddy-Botox discounts), but find an experienced PA or Dr. to inject, I could see how inexperience could backfire. It's strong stuff and it does seem to spread more; two of my forehead lines disappeared too, but I still have expressive up/down movement in my brows, and no more "Elevenses". I would recommend and will use again.

I have used Botox for years. The doctor gave me a choice of Botox or Dysport for which there was a coupon. I of course took the coupon and tried the Dysport because the doctor told me it was exactly the same as Botox. No way. After two weeks my eyelid has started to droop and ache. I am sick about it as it sounds like the only thing that can make it better is time and it is really painful. At first, I thought I had perhaps had a stroke in my sleep. It is a horrible drug and I would never ever use it again. It should be reviewed and taken off the market.

I've had Botox a half dozen times or more between two different doctors. Though my regular dermatologist had never injected me, I asked if he could use Botox to help my sagging jawline. He used Dysport all over my face, and it was like a face lift - really incredible. The only side effect was a slight headache after the first 24 hours. It lasted for a couple of days, but was not bad enough to take any meds for it. It transformed my face, jawline & neck without any cutting or lasers! The treatment lasted for at least six months or more. I had major surgery seven months after receiving Dysport, and afterwards experienced a lot of pain during recovery, and that is when my wrinkles started coming back, understandably. I'm ready for my second treatment. It was very expensive, yet worth it. It seemed to take effect earlier than Botox, noticed it in maybe two to three days, yet it kept developing over a week or more.

I have never had anything done before - ever. As this is my first experience of this type, I researched intensely for more than a year before making the plunge. Yes, while physicians are responsible to inform us, we must be our own advocates for our health and NEVER make uninformed decisions. PLEASE research and make sure before you allow something to be injected into your body. I spoke with several dermatologists, plastic surgeons, RN's, as well as individuals who had chosen Botox and Dysport before making my choice of product and physician. Of particular concern to me was the potential conflict between these injections and medications I take daily. There are contraindications listed for both Botox AND Dysport to many things, which are important to take note of.
I am universally pleased thus far with the Dysport in the weeks since my procedure. I saw almost immediate results. and truly, I was prepared for FAR more pain than the injection involved. The needle is so thin and tiny and the numbing cream is so effective that the injection is reduced to a pin prick. Honestly. Additionally, in terms of redness, soreness, and brusing ~ I experienced a patch of redness on one side of my face (I was treated for crows' feet), but that lasted only about 30 minutes and was very minimal: perhaps the equivalent of looking flushed.
I was given a homeopathic medicine for healing (4 tablets twice a day for 7 days), told to sleep upright for the first 3 days at least, and my doctor used a small amount in the treated areas.
It was a simple, straightforward, low pain procedure with results in evidence almost immediately and quite satisfactory. I am thrilled with my Dysport experience and will be a return client when the effects fade.

I have been using Botox and decided to try dysport because of the rebate currently being offered. I had very low expectations and assumed that dysport would be an inferior product. I was wrong; For me Dysport worked immediately and has lasted longer than botox. I am convinced and will not be going back to botox. I do wish that Dysport had a program similar to Allergan brillant distinctions.

Dysport was a great decision, because it was something I wanted to do for a long time, but just could not make up my mind. It was not as painful as I thought it might be, the needle was incredibly thin and all I felt was a mild pin prick. No side effects, just a little bit of redness. No bruising or swelling. The results were visible right away, my skin is smoother and the wrinkles between the eyes almost disappeared completely. I feel more confident and relaxed after the dysport injections. I am extremely excited with the results and I do recommend it to anyone willing to improve their skin appearance and look a little younger.

I had dysport injections for crows-feet around eyes several weeks ago. Two weeks later I noticed my upper lip drooped on one side and I could only make a half smile. I rushed to the hospital thinking I had had a stroke. After having a CAT Scan and blood work, it occured to me that I was having a reaction to the dysport so the hospital released me. Per my doctor's instruction I am doing mouth exercises and have noticed a slight improvement(I am 7 weeks post-injection). He told me it should wear off in the next two months so I am trying to be patient...and hopeful!

Dysport is horrible! This is my first experience with treatment for wrinkle removal. I went in for Botox and the Dr. talked me into Dysport by saying that it was the same as Botox but cheaper, works faster, & lasts longer. The 1st treatment I had the Dysport was injected into my forehead & around my eyes. Within in 24 hrs the left side of my face was starting to tingle & I could feel it tightening up. I thought this was normal because of my lack of experience. After 5 days the left side of my forehead was completely paralyzed and the wrinkles had lessened but were not completely gone. The right side of my forehead was exactly the same as it was before I had the injection. I had my 2nd injection on the right side of my forehead a week later. Four hours after that 2nd injection I noticed that my left eye was drooping. I called the Dr & it has been an ongoing battle with them to tell me what is going on. After doing my own research I have found many other people that this has also happened to. It has been 5 days since the 2nd injection & my right eye is now starting to droop also. So now I have spent alot of money for 2 droopy eyes & the wrinkles are still not completely gone.

I've been getting botox injected for my forehead lines for many years and have been a strong proponent for it. But when my dermatologist mentioned another product, Dysport, was very similar and less expensive, I thought I would try it. I have to say I was skeptical but no more. I am very surprised and pleased. My dermatologist said Dysport's been available in Europe for a long time, too bad not in the US. I would have saved quite a bit of money.

Dysport was used on my forehead for the lines in between my eyebrows. Instead of the normal botox result (where a smoothing result is achieved), I ended up with extremely puffy eyes (area above the eyelid and below the eyebrows). That has still not gone away (three weeks after the fact). And, to add insult to injury, it never 'smoothed' out the lines between my brows.
The skin center completely agreed with me and I am going back for a second injection of botox to try to help with the lines. They told me it's a 'mixed bag of results'.
I would never, ever get this again. It left me puffy and feeling tired (b/c of the weight of my eyes). Terrible.
