Botox or Dysport: Understanding Your Options at Rochester Beauty Bar
At Rochester Beauty Bar, we specialize in helping our clients look and feel their best with effective, medically guided aesthetic treatments. Two of the most commonly requested injectables for wrinkle reduction are Botox and Dysport—but how do they differ, and which one is right for you?
Here’s what you need to know before booking your next appointment.
What Are Botox and Dysport?
Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neurotoxins derived from botulinum toxin type A. They are designed to temporarily relax targeted muscles in the face to reduce the appearance of:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead creases
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Smile lines and chin dimpling
By preventing the underlying muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles, both injectables help create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Key Differences Between Botox and Dysport
Although they work in similar ways, there are a few key distinctions between the two:
1. Onset Time
- Dysport may begin working faster, often within 2–3 days
- Botox typically shows results in 3–5 days, with full results at about 7–10 days
2. Diffusion and Spread
- Dysport spreads more easily, making it a good choice for larger treatment areas like the forehead
- Botox has a more precise application, ideal for smaller, targeted areas like around the eyes
3. Dosage Units
- Dysport units are measured differently than Botox. While more units of Dysport are often used, the efficacy is comparable. This does not mean Dysport is stronger—it’s simply a different dosing system.
4. Duration of Results
- Both Botox and Dysport last around 3 to 4 months
- Some clients report that Dysport may wear off slightly sooner, while others find the duration to be nearly identical
Which Option Is Better for You?
Choosing between Botox and Dysport depends on your individual goals, facial anatomy, and how your body responds to treatment. At Rochester Beauty Bar, we offer both options and customize your treatment plan based on:
- Area being treated
Dysport may be better for large, flat areas; Botox for precision work. - Desired speed of results
If you have an upcoming event and need quicker onset, Dysport might be preferred. - Your history with injectables
If you’ve tried one before and had excellent results, we may stick with it—or switch based on how your body responds over time. - Personal preference and experience
Some clients simply prefer how one feels or looks once settled.
During your personal consultation, our licensed injector will evaluate your goals, muscle activity, and facial movement to recommend the best treatment for your needs.
