If you’ve been thinking about getting cosmetic injections, you’ve probably heard of Botox® and Dysport®. Both are popular injectable treatments that smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but many clients wonder: what’s the difference between the two?
At Third Eye Beauty Lounge in Tempe, AZ, cosmetic injector Katrina offers both Botox and Dysport. Here’s what you need to know before booking your appointment.
What Are Botox and Dysport?
Both Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins made from botulinum toxin type A. They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause expression lines, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles.
The result: smoother, younger-looking skin without surgery or downtime.
Key Differences Between Botox and Dysport
1. Spread & Diffusion
-
Botox stays more localized, making it ideal for precise areas like small wrinkles or targeted lines.
-
Dysport spreads a little more, which can be beneficial for treating larger areas, like the forehead.
2. Onset of Results
-
Botox typically shows results within 5–7 days.
-
Dysport often kicks in a little faster—clients sometimes notice results in just 2–3 days.
3. Dosage Units
-
Dysport units are measured differently than Botox units. While you might need more units of Dysport compared to Botox, the overall cost is usually similar since treatment plans are customized.
4. Longevity
-
Both Botox and Dysport last about 3–4 months, depending on your metabolism, treatment area, and lifestyle.
Which One Is Right for You?
The truth is, neither treatment is “better”—it all comes down to your goals, facial anatomy, and personal preference. During your consultation at Third Eye Beauty Lounge, Katrina will evaluate your features and recommend the option that’s best for you.
