The Difference Between Botox and Dysport: Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re exploring options for smoothing fine lines and softening wrinkles, you’ve probably heard of Botox and Dysport. Both are popular injectable treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance. But what’s the difference between the two—and how do you know which one is right for you?

What Are Botox and Dysport?

Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neurotoxins derived from botulinum toxin type A. They work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, which reduces movement and helps prevent and smooth out wrinkles, especially in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.

Key Differences

While they’re very similar, here are a few key differences:

• Onset Time: Dysport tends to work a little faster—results may be visible within 2–3 days. Botox usually takes 3–5 days to kick in.

• Spread: Dysport has a slightly thinner consistency, which allows it to spread more easily over larger areas. This can be great for areas like the forehead, but it may not be ideal if precise targeting is needed.

• Units Used: Dysport and Botox are measured differently, so the number of units you receive will vary. This doesn’t mean one is stronger than the other—it’s just a different measurement system.

• Longevity: Both last around 3–4 months, though this can vary from person to person.

Which One Should You Choose?

The best option depends on your individual goals, facial anatomy, and treatment area. Some clients prefer the faster results of Dysport, while others stick with Botox for its precision and track record. The good news? You don’t have to decide alone.
