Dysport® vs. BOTOX® Injections: What’s the Difference?

Most  people develop wrinkles over time. Luckily, modern advancements mean there is a wide selection of solutions to explore. Dysport® and BOTOX® injections are two of the most common. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of each to help you decide which best suits you.

BOTOX is a form of botulinum type A toxin. It aims to paralyze muscle nerves in target areas that are contributing to wrinkles. It can also be effective in treating TMJ and other neurological conditions unrelated to skincare.

BOTOX injections are delivered through a non-invasive syringe. Common areas are the forehead and outer eyes where crow’s feet form. The procedure takes only minutes, and you can return to everyday activities with little concern about side effects, though some people do report flu-like symptoms or redness. Patients often see results within a week and the injections can last upwards of six months with proper skin maintenance.

Dysport is a neurotoxin that blocks muscle contractions similar to BOTOX injections. It’s often used on lines in and around the glabella—the area between the eyebrows. Dysport is only recommended for serious cases; BOTOX may be better for mild glabella wrinkles. Larger quantities of Dysport are used during treatment, and the treatment is completely non-invasive.

Patients experience results as soon as three days after their appointment, lasting for up to four months. Dysport is slightly cheaper than BOTOX injections, and it may have fewer potential side effects depending on the patient.

When considering Dysport and BOTOX injections, it’s best to always discuss your candidacy with a skincare professional.
