What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is popular when it comes to reducing wrinkles and frown lines. BOTOX is FDA approved and an injectable. BOTOX is composed of a Botulinum toxin; the toxin is used to stop muscle activity which then intervenes with the nerves. By stopping the muscle activity, the nerves are blocked. Those nerves are the ones that cause wrinkles and facial lines.

How does Botox work?

Stated earlier BOTOX blocks signals to the nerves, which keeps wrinkles and facial lines from forming. The wrinkles and facial lines aren’t formed because the toxin makes them soften and relax. BOTOX is injected to the specific areas. The areas of treatment can range from the forehead, eyes to the mouth. Once the treatment is done the results will vary depending on the patient. Depending on the patient the results of BOTOX can last about 3-6 months.*

What is Dysport?

BOTOX is not the only dermal filler that can treat wrinkles. Dysport can treat facial lines and wrinkles, but it doesn’t last if BOTOX. Dysport’s main area of treatment is the frown lines that can be found between the eyebrows. Dysport is also FDA approved and is known more as giving a “natural look”. Dysport weakens and smooths out both wrinkles and frown lines.

How does Dysport work?

Dysport is injected above the eyebrows in five different areas. Once Dysport is in the body it prevents frown lines from forming by tightening the muscle. Besides the area where the treatment took place, other parts of your face can move like normal after the treatment. The procedure takes between 10-20 minutes. The results of Dysport can last about 4 months!*

 

Similarities between Botox vs Dysport

Even though BOTOX vs Dysport seem different they do have some similarities. A similarity they both share is they both help wrinkles and facial lines dwindle. They are also both injectables and once they are inserted to the treatment areas they both stop muscle activity.

​

Differences between Botox vs Dysport

BOTOX and Dysport are injectables, but they are different from one another. One of the main reasons they are different is they are dosed differently. For example, 60 units of Dysport doesn’t equal 60 units of BOTOX. Another difference between BOTOX vs Dysport is the outcome after each procedure. To some patients BOTOX gives a “frozen look” rather than a “natural look” like Dysport. Even though BOTOX can give a “frozen look” it does last longer than Dysport. Dysport differs from BOTOX because once Dysport is inserted into the treatment area it spreads, but when it comes to BOTOX, BOTOX can treat smaller areas. Lastly, BOTOX differs from Dysport because of the pricing. BOTOX can be more expensive than Dysport, but it depends what medical facility you attend.
