Botox and Dysport both relax the muscles close to the injection site. Both are able to block a chemical called "acetylcholine". Because muscle contraction can cause wrinkles, these neurotoxins relax the muscles, leading to fewer wrinkles.
Dysport is much less expensive
Although there are some major differences between Dysport and Botox, the two treatments are very similar and cost almost the same. One Dysport unit is approximately 1/3 the cost of one Botox. Both neuromodulators have the same effectiveness and can be used in the same cosmetic areas.
Although the treatments cost very little, Dysport's results are quicker and last longer. An average person can notice significant differences in as little as two to three weeks. Additionally, a single Dysport treatment may require fewer sessions than multiple Botox sessions.
It diffuses even more
Botox and Dysport have different effects on the skin. Botox can stay within the injection site longer and lasts for a longer time, while Dysport spreads better and covers more area. This makes it more suitable for treating larger areas, and requires fewer shots. Botox might not have the same effect as Dysport.
Botox and Dysport both have biologic processor proteins. These neuromodulators are responsible for protecting the toxin's integrity and ensuring it continues to work properly. These proteins can affect the way that the toxin gets injected and how it diffuses.
It reduces glabella lines
Botox is a popular treatment to reduce frown lines and glabellar lines in the forehead. These lines appear above and below the eyebrows. They are caused by repeated movements of the brow muscles. This injectable treatment is very effective in reducing glabellar wrinkles and can even prevent the formation of new ones. It can smoothen out existing lines.
Botox can last between three to four months and there is no downtime. You can see the results in two to three days. They last three to four more months. Juvederm can also be used to fill glabellar lines. Juvederm can be used to fill glabellar, but it is not like Botox. The injectable smooths existing glabellar lines, and it takes less than 10 minutes. It is ideal for treating stubborn glabellar lines because it lasts for up to three to four months.
It is more effective
Botox and Dysport are both effective in treating wrinkles. However, there are some differences. Botox can be used in smaller areas, such as the forehead. Dysport is more concentrated and spreads across a larger area. There are two main differences between these injectables: how much they are used and how long it takes them to work.
However, side effects can occur due to both products. Dysport is a procedure that can be dangerous for patients. Patients should be aware that there may be some swelling and bruising, but they should not lie down after an injection. They should also avoid exercise for at least four hours after the treatment. While they work in the same way, both drugs have side effects.
It is safer
Botox and Dysport both have certain risks. Both injectables are safe but it is important that you discuss any potential risks with your doctor before you undergo treatment. These neurotoxins are known to cause complications, including Botulinum toxicity, which occurs when an injection spreads to another part of the body.
The main ingredient of both injections is the exact same. However, they differ in their trace protein levels which makes one treatment more effective than another. Both products are being further researched to find the safer and more effective. Botox can take longer to dry but takes only minutes to administer. You can leave the doctor's office once the injection is completed.
