Injectables.
Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to soften the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles. It works by reducing repetitive muscle movement, helping smooth expression lines such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, while still allowing for natural facial movement and expression.
There is minimal to no downtime, making it an easy treatment to fit into a busy routine. It can be used in multiple areas of the face and neck to soften lines, enhance facial balance, and support both aesthetic and therapeutic goals.
