Dysport was FDA-approved for use in the US in 2009. Dysport was originally to be marketed in the US under the name "Reloxin", but the FDA decided that the original name should be used and did not allow the new name.
Dysport and Botox are made by different companies, but they have the same basic structure and they work in the same way. There are some slight differences between the two:
1. Dysport "kicks in" a little more quickly than Botox. Botox usually takes effect after 5-7 days, while Dysport's effects are noticable as early as 1-2 days after treatment.
2. Dysport and Botox "units" are not the same, so you can't expect to use the same number of Dysport units that you are used to using in Botox units.
3. Dysport lasts at least as long as Botox does (3-4 months)
