Dysport®

Dysport can last longer than Botox for some patients. It also kicks in about one week faster. Otherwise, when administered by a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, they are virtually the same.

The cost of Dysport treatment can vary based on location, provider, and your unique treatment needs. Both options are priced according to units, but these are not directly comparable since they are measured differently.

Since further study is needed on the safety profile of Dysport in pregnant women, it’s best to err on the side of caution. Make sure to speak with your OBGYN if you’re considering pregnancy after Dysport injections.

Both options cause very little swelling that is dependent on the amount of fluid used to mix the injection. Any swelling typically resolves within a day or two.

No. The molecules in Dysport permanently attach to the target muscles, meaning the nerve must generate new signals over time. There’s no way to speed up this process, so always make sure you receive Dysport injections from a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

The most common side effect after Dysport injections is localized bruising. This typically lasts for a few days and resolves on its own.

Dysport and Botox are different brands of the same medication. They are slightly different, so some patients respond better to one than the other, meaning one may be more effective for you.

Dont choose Dysport over Botox for any difference in recovery time. They work similarly. They are different from the fillers which can cause some temporary and localized swelling, but there is always a risk of very small bruises at injection sites, which a careful physician injector will try very hard to avoid.

It is very difficult to compare one single treatment with one physician to a single treatment with another. Be careful and do your research before you ask for more, especially if your treatment hasnt taken full effect yet. You may end up with too much if you arent cautious.

Dysport cant be reversed, but it will wear off.

Dysport is a cousin of Botox and the units are counted differently, but similar effects are achieved. Someone who doesnt get long-lasting effects from Botox after a while may do better with Dysport, but that isnt true for everyone. The different type of unit counting is confusing since everyone is more used to thinking about Botox, but both products work well and come out to basically similar costs.
