Q: Dysport vs. Botox - What's the difference?
A:
Botox Cosmetic and Botox (made by Allergan) and Dysport (made by Medicis) are U.S. FDA approved to treat expression lines/facial wrinkles; both are derived from a botulinum protein type A.
However, like any drug, there are nuances among them.
Dysport has been reported to take effect within 4 to 7 days, and last up to 4 months; it is dosed based on your muscle contraction or action.
Botox has been reported to take effect with 5 to 7 days, and last 3 to 4 months, and dosing is based on specific rates of dilution.
