Galderma Dysport

Dysport Aesthetic (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a local muscle relaxant (or neuromuscular blocking agent) adapted from the botulinum neuromodulator type-A and is used in both aesthetic and therapeutic indications. Dysport is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines and/or moderate to several lateral canthal lines (crow's feet) in adult patients.

Dysport Aesthetic: The DREAM Study

Galderma published the results of a clinical study of Dysport injections in May 2020. A total of 120 patients between the ages of 18 and 65 participated in the study. The results showed that 95 percent of patients treated with Dysport achieved high levels of satisfaction with two treatments per year. Moreover, 97 percent of patients thought the result of the treatment looked natural.
