Botox and Dysport are two types of cosmetic injectables that weaken and relax the muscles near the injection site. Both injectables work by blocking the chemical acetylcholine. The neurotoxins relax muscles and reduce wrinkle formation.
Dysport is much less expensive
Although there are some key differences between Dysport (and Botox), the treatments are very similar. They also cost about 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.
Both treatments are similar in price, but Dysport results last longer and are more effective. A person will notice visible results in two to three days. Additionally, a single Dysport treatment may require fewer sessions than multiple Botox sessions.
It diffuses more
Botox is more effective than Dysport, but they have different effects on the skin. While Botox stays within the injection site and lasts longer, Dysport diffuses more and spreads out over a larger area. This allows for larger areas to be treated and requires fewer injections. However, the effectiveness of Botox may not be as great as Dysport.
Botox and Dysport both include biologic processor proteins. The proteins in these neuromodulators protect the toxin and keep it working 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 the eyebrows due to the repetitive movement of the brow muscles. This injectable treatment can reduce glabellar lines, and prevent new ones from forming. It also helps smooth out existing lines.
Botox lasts between three and four months, and the procedure requires no downtime. The effects of Botox are immediately noticeable after two to three days. They will last for up to four months. Also, Juvederm can be used to treat glabellar wrinkles. 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. The injectable lasts up to four months and is the best treatment for stubborn lines.
It is also more effective
Botox and Dysport both have their benefits for wrinkle treatment, but there are 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.
Both products can cause bruising or swelling, and may cause side effects. Dysport is a procedure that can be dangerous for patients. While swelling and bruising are common, patients should avoid lying down following the injection. After the injection, patients should refrain from exercising for at most four hours. Although they are similar in their effects, they have different molecular and structural differences. Some people may experience side effects from either drug.
It is safer
While both Botox and Dysport are effective, they come with certain risks. Although injectables like Botox and Dysport can be safely administered, it is important for you to discuss potential dangers with your physician before you begin any treatment. Botulinumtoxicity is another potential side effect of these neurotoxins. It occurs when the injection spreads to other parts of your body.
The main ingredient in both injections are the same. However, the trace protein levels in the products make one more effective than the others. Both products are under investigation to find out which one is more safe and effective. Botox takes longer to dry while the injections are quick. Once the injection is complete, you can leave your doctor's office.
