We are excited to continue to realize the potential of our product portfolio and share our findings with the larger scientific community.”

There will also be data presented from across three individual trials investigating the subject-relevant outcomes of on-label 50U Dysport for the treatment for moderate-to-severe glabellar lines. Additionally, data from NCT03780244, an open-label extension study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Sculptra after changes in reconstitution and injection procedure, will be presented at the symposium.

Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines while taking Dysport without talking to your doctor first.
