What Are Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved injectable treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They’re both types of botulinum toxin type A, and are commonly used for smoothing frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. While they work in similar ways, they differ slightly in formulation and how quickly results appear.

Top 10 Botox & Dysport FAQ Facts

How do they work?
They block nerve signals to targeted muscles, which softens wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions (like smiling or frowning).
 

What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both are very similar, but Dysport tends to spread a bit more, making it great for larger areas, while Botox offers more precise targeting.
 

How long do results last?
Typically, 3 to 4 months, but it can vary depending on the individual and the area treated.
 

When will I see results?
Dysport may start working as early as 2-3 days, while Botox generally shows full results in 5-7 days.
 

Is the treatment painful?
Most clients describe it as a quick pinch. The procedure is fast, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
 

What areas can be treated?
Common areas include the forehead, frown lines (11s), crow’s feet, and sometimes around the mouth or neck.
 

Can I go back to work after?
Yes! There’s no downtime, though we recommend avoiding intense workouts or lying down for a few hours afterward.
 

Will it make me look frozen?
Not at all, when administered by skilled providers (like us!), the goal is a natural, refreshed look, not a stiff one.
 

Are Botox and Dysport safe?
Yes, both have been used safely for decades and are FDA-approved for cosmetic and medical use.
