Although they work in similar ways, there are a few notable differences between them. Due to the smaller molecules and different formulas, the dosages differ. The effects of Dysport can usually be seen more quickly.
Dysport and Botox are both forms of botulinum toxin and used to relax muscles. Biologically and chemically they are similar, but Dysport has greater variability in size and molecular weight. Dysport is more diluted. As a result of these differences, it spreads out further than Botox after injection. This can be an advantage when treating larger areas such as the forehead or for areas with thinner muscles like crow's feet.
Is it best to determine which neuromodulator works best for you, because each individual will metabolize Dysport and Botox differently. An experienced professional can help you determine which will best address your concerns.
