This is a very popular question in our practice. The answer is that there is little to no difference in the effectiveness of Botox<\/a> Cosmetic\u00a0and Dysport<\/a>. Both are forms of botulinum toxin A which is a derived protein that relaxes targeted muscles to decrease their movement \u2013 and thus to reduce lines and wrinkles on the face.\u00a0The \u201cunits\u201d of Botox and Dysport are not the same, however, this is only relevant to the professional that is injecting the product.<\/p>\n

Comparing Botox Cosmetic to Dysport is similar to comparing Crest to Colgate; one product is not better than the other but patients sometimes voice \u00a0a preference for a particular. Botox injections<\/a> are considered the common \u201cbrand name\u201d name since it was approved by the FDA in 2002 and was first to market. Dysport was not FDA approved until 2009, but had been used in Europe for many years before that. \u00a0Many plastic surgeons feel that Dysport takes effect more quickly than Botox Cosmetic.\u00a0 Some patients feel the possibility of more rapid onset of action by Dysport is valuable to them, others don\u2019t find this to be a big advantage.\u00a0 There has been some recent suggestions that Dysport might last somewhat longer than Botox Cosmetic, but these studies are not conclusive.<\/p>\n

Botox Cosmetic is made by Allergan (same company that makes Juvederm<\/a>) and Dysport is made by Galderma (same company that makes Restylane<\/a>). Both companies have a rewards program that patients can sign up for and receive discount on future treatments. Brilliant Distinctions is Allergan\u2019s reward program and Aspire is Galderma\u2019s reward program.<\/p>\n

Both products are safe and effective, and although each patient\u2019s preference can vary about which product works best for them, the person that injects you is much more important than the product. We offer both Botox Comsetic and Dysport in all five of our Pittsburgh area offices<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
