Botox® / Dysport® Injectables

What is Botox® / Dysport® ?

BOTOX® / DYSPORT® are neurotoxins that relaxes facial muscles by blocking nerve signals which relaxes the muscles involved in the creation of wrinkles like crow’s feet, laugh lines, frown lines, and forehead lines. This process softens the appearance of the wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful-looking skin. The effects are temporary and typically last for a few months, which additional injections are necessary to maintain the desired results.

Dysport vs Botox:

Dysport and Botox are both cosmetic injectables that use different formulations of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles. While they share the same basic mechanism of action, there are some differences. Dysport tends to have a quicker onset of action and may diffuse more, making it potentially suitable for larger treatment areas. On the other hand, Botox is known for its precision and may be preferred for smaller, targeted areas. The units of measurement for each product are not equivalent, so the dosage and cost can vary. Ultimately, the choice between Dysport and Botox often depends on individual preferences and the specific goals of the aesthetic treatment.
