Does dysport act as a filler in any way?

No: Dysport is botulism toxin just like botox. It only paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles. No filling results at all.

No, it does not: Dysport functions like botox, as it essentially paralyzes facial muscles and then results in less dynamic lines. It is commonly used in the forehead, glabella, crows feet, but it not effectively used as a filler.

Dysport no fill: Dysport will relax wrinkles so in certain areas you may "look" like you had filler as the area will be smoother. Botox, Dysport and xeomin (incobotulinumtoxin a) all work very similarly to stop specific muscle contraction, including the forehead, eye corners and mouth corners.

No Filling: Dysport does not act as a filler in any way. It relaxes the muscles and, in doing so, softens the appearance of certain wrinkles.

Not a filler: Dysport is used to smooth dynamic wrinkles that occur with expression or other activation. If untreated these dynamic wrinkles may create static creases between the brows, on the forehead, and around the eyes. If desired, fillers like Restylane (dermal fillers) or belotero may be used "off label" to fill and smooth such creases. Even then, continued use of Dysport for relaxation of the dynamic wrinkles is advised.

No: Dysport is a neuromodulator like Botox. It causes relaxation of muscles to improve the appearance of wrinkles, but does not fill in any way.

Neurotoxin: Dysport acts by blocking muscle action thereby reducing dynamic wrinkles. It is not a filler.

NO: Dysaport is another form of Botox it works by inhibiting a nerve from making a muscle contract so it does not allow yo to crease between your eyes, lift the forehead or make the crows feet from squinting. It is NOT a filler
