Let’s talk neurotoxins! 💉
Botox and Dysport are both injectable neurotoxins that relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles. They have some key differences, including:
🌟 Results: Dysport can show results in a few days, while Botox can take up to a week.
🌟 Duration: Botox’s effects may last slightly longer than Dysport’s.
🌟 Treatment areas: Botox is FDA-approved to treat more areas of the face, while Dysport is best for larger wrinkles.
🌟 Protein composition: Botox contains a protein shell that breaks down more slowly, while Dysport contains a milk protein that spreads more and breaks down faster.
🌟 Dosage: A single unit of Botox is about three times more potent than a unit of Dysport, but Dysport is less expensive.
🌟 Resistance: Because Botox is more commonly used, you may develop a resistance to it over time. Dysport can be an alternative for those who have developed resistance to Botox.
