When comparing your toxin options to eliminate unwanted wrinkles, many patients ask the question “is Dysport more effective than Botox?”
What Is Botox?
Botox is an injectable botulinum toxin that paralyzes the muscles in your face that cause wrinkles to form.
Once relaxed, patients experience an erasure of wrinkles in the affected treatment area.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is also an injectable botulinum toxin injection that performs the same treatment goals as Botox.
What Is the Difference Between Dysport and Botox?
The main difference between these two injectables lies in the trace proteins.
These trace proteins are believed to potentially make one product more effective than the other.
However, while studies are ongoing, there has been no indication that these proteins may impact the efficacy of one product over the other.
How Long Do Dysport and Botox Last?
You should see the results from your injection treatment within a few days of being injected.
Results vary depending on the number of units injected as well as the facial anatomy of the patient.
However, Dysport generally lasts around three to four months.
Botox injections may last up to six months.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Wrinkle Reduction Injections?
The best candidate for Botox or Dysport treatments is anyone looking to eliminate unwanted wrinkles who is in overall good health.
These products are not ideal for patients who fall under the following categories:
- Are pregnant
- Are allergic to botulinum toxin
- Have an allergy to milk
- Are over age 65
You should always consult a doctor to see if you are a good candidate for any medical treatment including Botox or Dysport.
