What Is the Difference Between Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are two of the most popular neuromodulators in the world. While these are both injectable neurotoxins that can temporarily smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, they are different in their own ways. Youthful Infusion Med Spa expert injection professionals can help explain the differences between Botox and Dysport for our North Texas patients. We’ll help you make an informed decision about which treatment is best for you.

What Is Used to Make Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport both utilize botulinum toxin type A. This works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for causing facial wrinkles. The treatments smooth out dynamic wrinkles, including frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. The primary difference lies in their formulation and potency. Botox is arguably the most well-known injection in the cosmetic industry. It’s made with a slightly higher concentration of botulinum toxin. We prefer it when we need the most precision. Generally our patients use Botox to treat deeply set wrinkles. Dysport has a lower concentration of botulinum toxin. It includes a unique formulation that tends to spread more easily for soft results. Most patients will try both at some point and find they just prefer one or the other themselves.

Longevity of Results 

The longevity of results is another factor to consider when choosing between Botox and Dysport. You should notice Botox results in about a week, and they last from three to four months. Dysport results show up in a few days and may last up to five months. Remember, it’s important to know that patients can have varying experiences. Both treatments require regular maintenance sessions to sustain the desired outcome.

Which Injectable is Right for Me?

There is no right or wrong answer between Botox and Dysport. Every one of our injection professionals are highly trained by Allergan Master Expert @MagicMisty_ and will work with you to determine the most effective option for your needs. Botox and Dysport both have raving fans that have used them for years and years to look more youthful.  If you try one and don’t like the outcome, both treatments are not permanent. We can try another option at your next appointment to find the one that works right for you.
