Botox versus Dysport
I have found that the only difference between Botox And Dysport is that the Dysport seems to take effect a few days before Botox. A far as longevity, they both are about the same. I want to preface one thing though, every person is different with all medications.

Dysport
There seems to be little to no difference between Dysport and Botox in terms of longevity. The effects of each tend to last 3-4 months.

No real difference
I believe there is little difference between the two products in terms of duration, with each lasting in the range of 3 to 4 months. Some practitioners feel the onset of action is slightly faster with Dysport, perhaps by a day. I feel they can be used interchangeably.

Dysport vs. Botox which lasts longer
I could not detect a difference in Botox and Dysport longevity when patients agreed to study a side-by-side comparison on their forehead. The dysport patients had a few that acted one day sooner, but the longevity was similar.

Dysport vs Botox longevity
Dysport and Botox have been shown to last the same amount of time, typically lasting 3-4 months. Although the lasting effects of Dysport and Botox are the same; some cases have shown that the initial results of Dysport begin to show quicker than that of Botox.

Duration of Effect Botox vs Dysport
My patients overwhelmingly tell me, "I can't tell the difference". Botox and Dysport are the same drug at their core, botulinum toxin type A. They both do the same thing to the nerve and the rate of recovery is independent of the brand. The human body builds a new nerve tip after being treated and that process typically takes 3 months regardless of which product deactivated the original nerve tip. If the product was not dosed sufficiently to...

Botox vs dysport
I have found from personal experience that dysport lasts slightly longer than botox. Every patient is different but I see fewer patients coming back on the short term saying that their movement is back with Dysport than I did with Botox. Dysport does seem to start up faster after injection.

How Much Longer Than Botox Injections Does a Dysport Procedure for Crow's Feet Last?
I have used Botox, for over 20 years, to soften unwanted lines and wrinkles as well as shape muscles and IMHO, Dysport lasts as long as Botox. They are both Toxin type A although they are a different sized particle when injected. Most using both Botox and Dysport, myself included, feel the duration is similar at 3-4 months.

Dysport for crow's feet
I agree with several of the other physician's here - I do not think there is a big difference between Botox and Dysport as far as longevity of the product. I do, however, usually prefer Dysport for the crow's feet area as I feel the final effect is usually a little smoother. Good luck.
