Botox® VS Dysport®: What is the Difference?

How Do Botox® and Dysport® Work? 

Despite their slightly different properties, these products work the same way on a molecular level. When injected into the facial muscles, they target the nerves that control them. They stop the nerve from sending signals. As a result, the muscle stops contracting, letting your lines and wrinkles become smooth. The effect is harmless, and your nerve and muscle return to normal as soon as the product wears off. Both products do this job equally well. 

Botox® VS Dysport®: What is the Difference?

If they work the same way, what makes Botox® and Dysport® different? 

Dysport®’s smaller size may allow it to start working faster. Dysport® results become visible within a few days. Botox® results usually take seven to ten days to develop. Dysport® also diffuses more than Botox® from the point of injection. This means you may need less product, and your results will look smooth and natural. 

Some people find that the muscle relaxer they have used has become less effective over time. If this happens with Botox® or Dysport®, switching to another may restore effectiveness. Some report that Dysport® can last a bit longer than Botox®, but this depends on the individual.
