Neurotoxin Treatments: Botox® & Dysport®
At Aestique Medispa, we offer FDA-approved Neurotoxin treatments, including Botox® and Dysport®, to smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a refreshed, youthful appearance. These injectables temporarily relax facial muscles, softening expression lines and preventing deeper wrinkles from forming. Whether you want to reduce frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead wrinkles, these treatments offer a safe and effective solution with minimal downtime.
Botox® vs. Dysport®: What’s the Difference?
Both Botox® and Dysport® contain botulinum toxin type A and provide similar wrinkle-smoothing effects. However, they have key differences that may make one more suitable for your needs:
Treatment Areas:
- Botox® is often used for smaller, precise areas, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and bunny lines.
- Dysport® spreads more easily, which makes it ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead, resulting in softer, more natural-looking results.
Onset of Results:
- Botox® results typically appear within 3-5 days, with full effects in about 12 days.
- Dysport® may work slightly faster, with results visible in 2-3 days, reaching full effect in 12 days.
Longevity:
- Both Botox® and Dysport® deliver results that last approximately 3-4 months. Individual results might vary depending on metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment areas.
Which Neurotoxin Is Right for You?
Your choice between Botox® and Dysport® depends on your aesthetic goals and treatment areas. Our experienced injectors at Aestique Medispa will assess your needs and recommend the best option to achieve natural-looking, youthful results.
