Both Botox® and Dysport® injection treatments have revolutionized the way people diminish wrinkles to achieve a more youthful and attractive appearance. Many people do not know the differences between Botox® and Dysport®, which is why our highly trained staff at Coastal Dermatology and Plastic Surgery takes an active role in the care of patients by explaining their diagnosis and treatment options.
When learning about these two procedures, you will find out that there are more similarities than differences; especially when it comes to results. Our providers have over 45 years of experience in Los Angeles and Orange County to include Botox® and Dysport® treatments. We also offer multiple convenient locations in Los Alamitos, Huntington Beach, Tustin, and Mission Viejo, CA. Contact us today to learn more!
Differences Between Botox® and Dysport®
There are a few slight differences when comparing these two neuromodulators. Botox® was first approved by the FDA in 1989 and Dysport® did not get approval until 2009. Since Botox® has been on the market a lot longer, it is often more commonly used, but depending on your aesthetic needs, Dysport may be more appropriate. During your consultation with our team, we will evaluate your visible signs of aging and help you determine the best way to achieve smoother, younger-looking skin with Botox® and Dysport®.
Botox and Dysport can be safely and effectively used to help reduce the appearance of:
- Eyes (Crows feet)
- Eyebrows (11 lines)
- Neck
- Nose (Bunny lines)
- Angles of the mouth (Marionette lines)
- Upper lip (Smoker lines)
- Chin
- Gummy smile
