How to Take Dysport?
Dysport injections are only administered by a certified medical expert, regardless of whether they are intended for cosmetic reasons.This medication is injected into the muscles by a medical professional.

Dysport injections can be administered to multiple areas at the same time, depending on the issue being treated.The effects of a Dysport injection are only temporary. The symptoms could return within three months. Following repeated injections, it could take less time before symptoms recur, particularly if your body develops antibodies to the botulinum toxins.
Don't seek botulinum injections with more than one physician at the same time. If you switch providers, you should inform your new doctor of the length of time since your last botulinum injection.Making use of this medicine more frequently than recommended will not increase its effectiveness and may cause severe adverse reactions.
