Botox or Dysport can be used to relax the muscles surrounding the injection site. Both injectables work by blocking the chemical acetylcholine. This reduces wrinkles by relaxing muscles.
Dysport is less expensive
There are some differences between Dysport injections and Botox but they are nearly identical in cost and results. A Dysport unit costs approximately 1/3 of the price of a Botox. Both neuromodulators can be used to treat the same cosmetic issues.
While the two treatments are very similar in cost, the results of Dysport are faster and last longer. Within two to three working days, the average person will see visible differences. Additionally, a single Dysport treatment may require fewer sessions than multiple Botox sessions.
It diffuses more
Botox, Dysport and Dysport have distinct 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 makes it more suitable for treating larger areas, and requires fewer shots. Botox might not have the same effect as Dysport.
Botox and Dysport both contain biologic processor proteins. These neuromodulators contain proteins that protect the toxin and maintain its proper functioning. These proteins can affect the way that the toxin gets injected and how it diffuses.
It reduces glabella lines
Botox can be used to reduce frown lines or glabellar wrinkles in the forehead. These lines appear above the eyebrows and are caused by the repeated movement of the brow muscles. Luckily, this injectable treatment is effective at reducing glabellar lines and can prevent the formation of new ones. It also helps smooth out existing lines.
Botox can last between three to four months and there is no downtime. You can see the results in two to three days. They last three to four more months. Also, Juvederm can be used to treat glabellar wrinkles. Juvederm can be used to fill glabellar, but it is not like Botox. The injection smoothens existing lines and takes less than 10 min. Because the effects last up to four weeks, this is the perfect treatment for stubborn glabellar wrinkles.
It is more efficient
Botox is a great option for treating wrinkles. But Dysport and Botox have different strengths. Botox is more concentrated, and can be used over a larger area like the forehead. Dysport, however is less concentrated. The main differences in these two injectables are their dosages and how long they take.
However, side effects can occur due to both products. Patients who choose Dysport should be aware of the potential risks associated with the procedure. 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. While they work in the same way, both drugs have side effects.
It is safer
Botox and Dysport both have certain risks. While both injectables can be used safely, it is important to talk with your doctor about potential side effects before you go under the needle. Botulinum toxicemia, which is when an injection spreads from one part of the body to another, is a known side effect.
Both injections contain the same main ingredient, but the product's trace protein levels differ, making each treatment more effective. Both products are undergoing further research to see which one is safer and more effective. Botox can take longer to dry but takes only minutes to administer. After your doctor has completed the injection, you can go home.
