Dysport vs. Botox
Dysport and Botox are two of the most effective options for refreshing your look without surgery. These FDA-approved neuromodulators reduce wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and laughing. While they share many similarities, the distinctions between the two may influence which one you choose to get. At Injectables by Dr. V, Dr. Vincent Nacouzi will tailor a treatment plan to your unique goals.
How Botox and Dysport Are Similar
Botox and Dysport work by temporarily relaxing the underlying facial muscles that contribute to the appearance of wrinkles. These products soften lines and prevent them from deepening by blocking the nerve signals that allow your muscles to contract. Injections take only minutes and require no downtime, making them ideal for busy lifestyles. You can schedule your appointment for your lunch break and resume your daily schedule immediately afterward.
While the treated muscles will regain activity over time, you can maintain natural-looking, long-lasting results by scheduling touch-up treatments a few times a year. By choosing an experienced injector, you never have to worry about your results looking frozen or overdone.
How Botox and Dysport Differ
The primary distinctions between Dysport and Botox lie in their formulas and how they behave after injection.
Dilution: Dysport has a more diluted formula than Botox. While this means you’ll need more units of Dysport to achieve the same effect, the dilution does not compromise its effectiveness.
Diffusion: Dysport tends to spread over a larger area after injection, making it ideal for treating broad regions like the forehead with fewer injection points. In contrast, Botox is often a better choice for smaller, more precise areas, such as the spot between your eyebrows.
Molecule size: Dysport has smaller protein molecules, which means its results can appear faster. Dysport might be a wise choice if you’re looking for quicker improvements.
Combining Dysport and Botox for Optimal Results
For many patients, pairing Botox and Dysport works beautifully to achieve a balanced, natural look. For example, you can choose Dysport for your forehead and Botox for smaller, more detailed concerns like crow’s feet. Dysport also offers a viable alternative if you’ve used Botox for an extended period and developed a resistance.
