Botox and Dysport are both wrinkle-relaxing neuromodulator treatments that work in a similar fashion. However, subtle differences between the two formulations may mean one might offer you better results than the other. Choosing between Dysport and Botox is a decision you should make with your expert injector to ensure the best possible outcome.

Perhaps, you’ve been noticing more lines and wrinkles on your face lately and would like to freshen up your appearance without having to go under the knife. More often than not, you’ve considered getting those popular wrinkle-smoothing injectable treatments during your lunch break. And while Botox has been the leading household name in anti-aging skin care and wrinkle prevention for decades, other neuromodulators like Dysport are also available today.

At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, all of our injectable treatments are performed by our renowned board-certified dermatologists who are considered some of the best in the country for cosmetic procedures. You get the expertise and experience you need to ensure a safe procedure and the best possible outcome.

Both Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that have been approved by the FDA for minimizing lines and wrinkles. They are equally safe and share the same mechanism. Both affect the transmission of signals from the nerve to the muscle, blocking them to stop muscle contractions, reduce wrinkles, and produce smoother-looking skin.

While both neuromodulators are used for the same indications and have the same primary active ingredient, each is slightly different based on the protein used in their respective formulas. Dysport is known to diffuse further or spread more once injected into the skin. Botox is FDA-approved for treating glabellar lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, while Dysport is only approved for glabellar lines. However, both of these treatments can be used for all those indications, as well as others off-label.

The cost of Botox and Dysport tend to be similar and will depend on factors like the number of injections needed and the experience and expertise of your injector. The number of injections needed will vary depending on a patient’s needs and goals. Your location will also affect its total cost, which will be discussed during your consultation.

Insurance companies do not cover the cost of aesthetic treatments like Botox and Dysport.

As with many cosmetic products and procedures, results vary from person to person. There isn’t one product that works for everyone. When it comes to deciding Dysport vs. Botox, turn to the experts. Your doctor can assess your skin concerns, explain the pros and cons of Dysport and Botox, and recommend the best product to achieve your goals.
