Botox vs Dysport: If you look in the mirror and notice fine lines or wrinkles, odds are you are curious about popular anti-aging treatments. Repetitive muscle movements from everyday life and the expressions we use for all our interactions invite the signs of aging to appear. This muscle movement causes dynamic wrinkles to form, significantly aging the face.
Both men and women opt for cosmetic injection treatments to slow the signs of aging, look younger, and achieve dramatic facial rejuvenation. Both Botox and Dysport are popular, minimally invasive treatments requiring little to no downtime. Read on to learn the difference between Botox vs Dysport and discover which treatment is right for you.
What is Botox?*
Most popularly known for its instantaneous anti-aging effects, Botox has long been the #1 cosmetic injectable treatment in the world. When administered by an expert injector, Botox results are natural-looking and long-lasting.
Botox is made of a protein derivative from Botulinum A. When injected into the muscles below the skin, Botox temporarily halts muscle contractions. The protein allows the muscle to relax, thus enabling the overlying skin to smooth and soften. Botox injections are fast-acting and have near instant results. Many people start to notice improvement within 24-48 hours. As with any cosmetic injectable treatment, individual results will vary.*

What is Dysport?
Dysport is known as the European Botox counterpart. Dysport received FDA-approval in the U.S in 2009 and is now one of the most popular anti-aging treatments available. Like Botox, Dysport also treats fine lines and wrinkles and has Botulinum A as its active ingredient.
The dilution of Botulinum A is higher in Dysport than in Botox. This makes Dysport an ideal treatment for larger treatment areas. Dysport goes deeper than Botox. In addition, the formula also spreads faster.
