When considering treatments to treat wrinkles and fine lines, patients can find effective options in both Botox and Dysport. While they serve a similar purpose, there are key differences between the two that may influence which may be more of a fit for your case. At MH Aesthetics in Eugene, Dr. Loan Duong specializes in advanced injection therapies, including Botox and Dysport, to help you achieve a smoother, youthful appearance.
Similarities Between Botox and Dysport
Both Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that relax facial muscle. They are FDA-approved and primarily used to treat dynamic wrinkles from excessive facial expressions, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. The procedures are quick, minimally invasive, and require little to no downtime.
Formulation and Spread
Dysport has smaller protein molecules, allowing it to treat larger areas. This makes it ideal for treating broad regions, including forehead lines. Botox, on the other hand, stays more localized, making it a better choice for smaller, targeted areas.
Onset of Results
Dysport tends to show results slightly faster, generally at a range between 2-3 days, while Botox results may take 3-5 days to appear.
Dosage
Dysport units are measured differently from Botox units. While more Dysport units may be needed, the effectiveness and cost often balance out between the two.

Choosing between Botox and Dysport depends on your unique needs and goals. At MH Aesthetics, Dr. Duong will provide a personalized consultation to determine the best treatment for you.
