Botox® vs. Dysport®: What’s the Difference?

You may have noticed that your skin starts to crease in spots when you smile or frown. These expression lines and wrinkles will deepen over time. Fortunately, Botox® and Dysport® will stop their progress and smooth your skin. These anti-aging treatments work in the same basic way but have a few differences. 

What are Botox® and Dysport®?

Botox® and Dysport® are neuromodulators, also known as neurotoxins. They use a compound called botulinum toxin that works by relaxing facial muscles. Both anti-aging treatments are FDA-approved. Botox® is approved to treat crow’s feet, glabellar lines, and forehead creases. Dysport® is approved for glabellar lines but also works in other areas. They both work by interrupting signals to the facial muscles that tell them to contract. View More Patient Results
