Dysport vs Botox

What’s the difference?

While Dysport and Botox share similarities as neuromodulators, they have subtle differences. One of the primary distinctions lies in their formulation, as Dysport has smaller protein molecules, leading to faster diffusion and potentially quicker results. Additionally, some patients report that Dysport offers a softer, more natural look compared to Botox. However, individual responses may vary, and the choice between the two often comes down to personal preference

Popular Use of Dysport

Dysport has gained immense popularity for its effectiveness in addressing facial wrinkles and lines, most commonly for those with moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity.

The Dysport Process at Borrero MD

Administering Dysport is a precise and straightforward process performed by a qualified physician here at Borrero MD. It typically involves the following steps:

a) Consultation: During an initial consultation, your provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and determine if Dysport is the right treatment for you.

b) Injection: Using a fine needle, Dysport is skillfully injected into the targeted muscles at 5 points between and above the eyebrows which temporarily prevents muscle contraction which causes frown lines. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort is minimal and temporary.

c) Recovery: There's little to no downtime associated with Dysport treatment. You can resume your daily activities immediately following the procedure, though your provider may advise you to avoid intense physical activities for a short period.

d) Results: Dysport results are not immediate but become noticeable within a few days, with optimal results appearing after about two weeks. The effects typically last up to fivemonths, after which a touch-up session may be required to maintain the desired outcome.
