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.

This is the first time I used Dysport. My doctor did not tell me the risk of this drug. After 2 weeks of receiving Dysport, I developed generalized weakness, drooping Left eyelid and a drooping face. I have headaches as well as duouble vision. I regretted having this Dysport. I looked so old and miserable. I wonder why this is approved here in USA. Where is quality of care here?

I tried botox and was happy with it. It lasted about 4 months. I did the forehead only and it costs $390. I then tried Dysport on my forehead only and it lasted around 4.5-5 months. Dysport is cheaper. It costs me $325. I'm scheduled to go back this week and will get the Dysport again. Not only is it cheaper it seemed to last a little longer. I had no negative side effects fron either.

Please start off with a small amount. It spreads and will cause unanticipated areas to turn off. My brows were beautiful right after the procedure, but the dysport spread two days later and caused my brows to drop and my forehead is now completely paralyzed. Less is better. I am missing natural arch. At-least the crowsfeet are gone and that part didn't spread.

I've been getting botox for the last eight years to treat an eye spasm and wrinkles. Never had a problem. Tried Dysport which I was told was the same as Botox but less expensive: Within two days my left eye drooped. I have since read that dypsort has a higher incidence of spreading and needs to be injected differently than botox. I would never use dysport again.

I had a wonderful experience with Dysport and will absolutely be doing it again when it wears off. I didn't have to wait more than a day to see the results, and it is cheaper than Botox ever was for me. I don't see why anyone wouldn't do it!

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!

I had dysport injected between my eyebrows and on my forehead. This was the first time that I tried it and it's been about 3 weeks since I had the injections.
The injections were quick, painless, left no marks and I had no side effects. I am very pleased with it! I don't look angry anymore! The effects were visible within 24-48 hrs for me. I will definitely have it injected again when it wears off.

I went in for my usual botox regimen last week and ended up getting injected with Dysport (on purpose). It was cheaper than botox so I thought that I would give it a try. I am extremely happy with the results! I look just as good as I did when I would get my botox injections and for a better price. I didn't have any adverse side effects either. I will be doing this again when this dose wears off.

I have been using Botox for my Nasolabial Folds for the past year. Decided to try Dysport because of the 75.00 rebate. I have to say that I noticed improvement within a couple of hours. It has only been 1 day so I am unsure how long it will last. Dysport does sting a bit more than botox but nothing substantial.

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.

I have had Botox injections before and always really liked the results. I wanted to continue with it but it was getting too expensive. My derm recommended Dysport (it is a little less where i get my injections). It worked great, and I will be going back to get this in the future.
