Will Botox or Dysport Last Longer?

Injectable cosmetics have been a popular elective aesthetic procedure for quite some time. With the options available, the key question remains: Does Dysport last longer than Botox? The answer is … maybe. Just as most elective cosmetic procedures we choose to do, every person is different which results in different outcomes for each individual. Many conditions affect the longevity of injectable cosmetics such as age, activity level, metabolism, and more. Learn more about what differentiates Dysport and Botox before scheduling your next aesthetic appointment.

What are Injectable Cosmetics?

Cosmetic injections have a chemical substance to reduce common concerns of aging. For example, forehead lines, eyebrow lines, crows feet, and more. Injectable treatments are a safe, non-invasive procedure that we inject into the muscles causing deep wrinkles and fine lines. A temporary but effective treatment to smooth and provide younger-looking skin.

Dysport vs. Botox

Dysport and Botox are botulinum toxins. Both smooth the surface of the face while injecting beneath the skin. These non-invasive and non-surgical procedures allow for natural results. Which beforehand, were only achieved through invasive surgeries. Administering aesthetic nurses and doctors are the only professionals authorized to give injectable treatments. Dysport and Botox, both FDA approved, treat the same common and problematic aging areas. Each treatment is completely safe to prevent aging and treat wrinkles and fine lines.

Does Dysport last longer than Botox?

A major difference between the two options is their manufacturing manufactured. Dysport has a higher potency of the botulinum toxins. With a higher count of the toxin, Dysport is often believed to work faster, to show results in as little as two days whereas its competitor, Botox, is said to show results within five days. Of those using Dysport and Botox, there is either no difference or very dramatic differences in results. Dysport offers a faster onset time. Because of the higher count of botulinum toxins, a faster spread of the injection means a greater area can be treated at once. So, does Dysport last longer than Botox? It isn’t medically proven. By popular opinion, it’s safe to say … everyone’s different!
