Botox and Dysport injections – beauty in a syringe

botox and dysport injections

Since the beginning of time, women have been preoccupied with preserving their youth, trying everything from essential oils to facial massages. Modern science has yet to come up with a way to stop aging altogether, but it has surely gained some success in slowing it down. One of the most effective treatments to hide the frown lines are Botox and Dysport injections. Both agents are neurotoxins (botulinum toxin type A) used in cosmetics to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. So what is the difference between the two and how does one decide which treatment to choose?

Botox by Allergan has been on the market for over 20 years now and has become a household name for beauty injections. Thanks to its high efficiency and safety, Botox has quickly gained a good reputation and popularity. But its monopoly ended in 2009 when a competing company Medicis introduced an alternative treatment called Dysport. Both products are FDA-approved and have similar formulas, yet they are not interchangeable.

Difference between Botox and Dysport injections

  • Dilution

    • Dysport is more diluted than Botox. This means that you will need more units of Dysport than that of Botox to achieve the same results. Dysport is also lower in price per unit, but the final cost of Botox and Dysport treatments is usually about the same.


  • Diffusion

    • Dysport diffuses more than Botox which means it allows to cover a larger area in fewer injections. However, if precision is key in your specific case, it is better to go with Botox.


  • Molecule size

    • Dysport formula contains smaller molecules than Botox. Hence, the latter takes a bit longer to diffuse and start working. The results of Botox treatment fully establish in about 72 hours, when Dysport requires only 24 hours.
