Question 1

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Accepted Answer

Botox and Dysport are both purified neuromodulator proteins. Through clinical studies and our experience, we believe Botox and Dysport perform equally.

Botox® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable that can be used to temporarily improve the appearance of forehead wrinkles, wrinkles in between the brows (glabella), and crow’s feet in adults. Botox® uses a form of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze muscle activity, which effectively relaxes the muscles and reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the skin. Botox® can also be used to reduce the effects of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

Dysport is used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines and the wrinkles around your eyes. The main difference between Botox and Dysport (besides the manufacturer) is the number of units. One unit of Botox is equivalent to three units of Dysport. The pricing is equal but we can discuss during your consultation which product is best for you!

Dysport and Botox are used to treat and prevent wrinkles in adults. These noninvasive injections help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles beneath the skin. By relaxing and stilling the muscles, the skin above them turns smoother.

Neither treatment gets rid of existing wrinkles for good, but the effects are meant to make wrinkles less noticeable.

While both treatments contain a similar main active ingredient, trace protein amounts can vary. This can make one treatment more effective than another for some people.

Question 3

Is there recovery time for Botox / Dysport?

Accepted Answer

After your treatment, you may be red at the injection sites for up to 15 minutes. For 4 hours post treatment, we will recommend you do not lay down or exercise. Also, avoid UV exposure for two weeks.

Question 4

How long do results last for?

Accepted Answer

The timing is dependent on the area and units used, but most people see results that last 3 to 4 months. That means with just a few treatments a year, you can stay wrinkle free.

Question 5

Will Botox make me look like I've "had work done?"

Accepted Answer

We get it. We've seen botch jobs on Instagram too!

In fact, bring him with you! You'd be surprised how many ladies show up with their husbands and boyfriends.

Due to the natural results, men are becoming more and more open to receiving the anti-aging benefits of Botox.

Question 7

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

Accepted Answer

Botox is often used to treat dynamic wrinkles, while fillers are more effective for static wrinkles that are always present. Neuromodulators, such as Botox and Dysport, use naturally occurring bacteria whereas dermal fillers use naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Fillers tend to last a bit longer but tend to be a bit more expensive.
