Both Dysport and Botox are FDA-approved neuromodulators designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. While they work in similar ways, there are key differences that may make one a better choice depending on your goals, treatment area, and individual response.
Dysport
💉 Starts working within 2-3 days with full effects in about 7 (typically faster than Botox)
💉 Designed to diffuse more, making it ideal for treating broader areas like the forehead
💉 Requires about 3 units per 1 Botox unit, so unit pricing is lower but total cost is similar.
💉 Effects last around 3-4 months, though some individuals may notice results fading sooner.
Botox
💉 Results typically appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible in 10-14 days.
💉 Stays localized, making it ideal for smaller, more defined areas like frown lines and crow’s feet.
💉 Effects last around 3-4 months, with some patients experiencing longer durations
💉 FDA-approved for cosmetic and medical applications, including wrinkle reduction, TMJ, migraines, and excessive sweating
