What is Botox?
Botox is a treatment that helps relax the muscles in your face to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. It is made from a purified protein that is completely safe when used by professionals. Many people use Botox to get a refreshed, youthful look.
How Does Botox Work?
When Botox is injected, it blocks the signals that nerves send to the muscles. So, the muscles do not move much. This helps smooth out wrinkles and helps the skin look younger and fresher. Many people use Botox to help treat migraines and reduce excessive sweating.
You will see visible results within 2 to 4 weeks after your Botox treatment. The effects of Botox usually last for three to six months. After that, the body slowly returns to normal, and treatments can be repeated if needed.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is an injection that contains abobotulinumtoxinA, which is a type of botulinum toxin. This substance comes from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
How Does Dysport Work?
When Dysport is injected, it blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. This causes the muscles to relax and helps reduce wrinkles, especially on the forehead and between the eyebrows.
Dysport can be used in different areas of the face to treat moderate to severe frown lines and other types of wrinkles. It is also used for medical reasons, like treating muscle spasms in the neck and other body parts.
The effects of Dysport usually start to show within 2 to 4 weeks after the injection and can last for up to three to six months.
It is important to note that if you are considering other options like Dysport, keep in mind that 1 unit of Botox is equivalent to 3 units of Dysport. This means that if you typically use Botox, you may need a different dosage with Dysport for similar effects.
