BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport are two of the most popular wrinkle-relaxing injectables on the market. They’re both safe, FDA-approved and effective—but they’re not exactly the same. Let’s break down the key differences to help you choose.
What They’re Used For
Both treat dynamic wrinkles—those caused by movement—like frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
Onset Time
Dysport tends to kick in a bit faster (2–3 days) while Botox may take 3–5 days.
Longevity
Botox generally lasts about 3–4 months. Dysport may slightly outlast Botox in some patients, depending on metabolism.
Spread & Precision
Dysport spreads a bit more, which can be great for larger areas. Botox offers pinpoint control, ideal for precise corrections.
Which Should You Choose?
If you’re new to injectables or want ultra-targeted results—Botox.
Need fast onset or treating broader areas—Dysport.
