Botox (or Dysport) are two cosmetic injectables which relax and weaken muscles near the injection point. 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. One Dysport unit is approximately 1/3 the cost of one Botox. Both neuromodulators are equally efficient and can be used on the same cosmetic concerns.
Both treatments are similar in price, but Dysport results last longer and are more effective. An average person can notice significant differences in as little as two to three weeks. Additionally, a single Dysport treatment may require fewer sessions than multiple Botox sessions.
It diffuses even more
Botox and Dysport have different effects on the skin. Botox lasts longer at the injection site, Dysport spreads quicker and has a shorter duration. This makes it better for treating larger areas and requires fewer injections. Botox's effectiveness may not be as high as Dysport.
Both Botox, Dysport and Dysport 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 is a popular treatment to reduce frown lines and glabellar lines in the forehead. These lines are above the eyebrows, and are caused from the repeated movement in the brow muscles. This injectable treatment is effective in reducing glabellar line and can help prevent the creation of new ones. It also helps smooth out existing lines.
Botox is a temporary treatment that lasts three to four month and does not require downtime. The effects can be seen within two to three weeks and last for up three to four month. The glabellar lines can also be treated with Juvederm. But like Botox, Juvederm does not prevent glabellar lines from forming in the first place. It smoothens existing glabellar wrinkles and takes only 10 minutes. This is the ideal treatment to treat stubborn glabellar line. The results last three to four month.
It is more effective
Botox and Dysport are both effective in treating wrinkles. However, there are some differences. Botox, on the other hand, is more concentrated and can be applied to a greater area than Dysport. Botox can only be applied to smaller areas such as the forehead. The main differences are in the amount and length of time they take to work.
However, side effects can occur due to both products. Dysport patients should be aware that there are potential risks. Patients should be aware that there may be some swelling and bruising, but they should not lie down after an injection. Patients should refrain from exercising for a minimum of four hours after receiving the treatment. They work the same, but are different structurally and molecularly. Side effects may occur in some individuals.
It is safer
Botox and Dysport both have certain risks. Both injectables are safe but it is important that you discuss any potential risks with your doctor before you undergo 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 of both injections is the exact same. However, they differ in their trace protein levels which makes one treatment more effective than another. Both products are undergoing further research to see which one is safer and more effective. Botox is quicker to dry, but both injections can be administered in minutes. Once the injection is complete, you can leave your doctor's office.
