Botox vs. Dysport

Botox and Dysport are noninvasive anti-wrinkle treatments that have been available for years in the beauty industry. Though Botox is popular in the U.S with over 5 million treatments performed every year, on the other hand, Dysport is widely used in most parts of Europe and the treatment is also very effective in rejuvenating the facial skin.

However, neither treatments can eradicate the existence of wrinkles on your skin, but they will go a long way to making you look younger than your calendar years. Furthermore, both treatments will help relax the underlying muscles beneath the skin and can give you better results when compared to using wrinkle serums and creams at home.

Depending on your preference and beauty goals, the beauticians at Harley Institute can use anyone to help treat or prevent wrinkles on your face. If you’re considering either treatment, call experts at Harley Institute, and we will determine the one that will be perfect in putting some of your pesky lines to rest.

Here are some slight differences and factors to consider before making your choice:

Botox

This is a specific type of botulinum toxin called onabotulinum-toxin A (ONA), and it is considered to be the gold standard in treating forehead lines, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet. The Food and Drug Administration approved the treatment in 2002 for the treatment of forehead wrinkles.

The process involves the injection on particular areas of your face as prescribed by the doctor. The number of injections also depends on the treated area and the desired results. So, if you want to treat glabellar, forehead lines or crow’s feet and to achieve a younger looking complexion, call us today for Botox treatment.

Dysport 

Dysport is a newer innovation in the cosmetics industry and considered as Botox alternative for treating wrinkles and improving fine lines. It was approved by 2009, and some people say it works better on the forehead and crow’s feet because the injections are deeper and they spread over a greater area when compared to Botox. Therefore, if you’re looking for smoother and more natural results, you can give us a call for your Dysport treatments.

The similarities of the treatments

The procedure for both treatments is similar; they work in the same way by paralyzing facial muscles that cause wrinkles. More so, they contain the same compounds or protein – Botulinum Toxin A.

However, while Botox may take a week or longer before the patient start seeing results, Dysport brings more immediate results.

So which is better – Botox or Dysport?

The differences lie in the potency of trace proteins, and the answer to the above question depends on some factors – the area to be treated (large or small), the duration and the one your doctor is more experienced with. Your doctor or injection specialist will consider your age, skin type, and other factors, so we recommend that you go with his/her prescriptions.
