Which product has less of a health risk: Dysport or Botox?

Botox and Dysport have the same mechanism of action and are almost exactly the same in their molecular composition.  That said, they have slightly different properties - for example, Dysport patients see results a little sooner than those injected with Botox.  The bottom line is that they both work exceptionally well and are extremely safe when injected by an experienced board-certified surgeon.Best of luck!

Both Botox and Dysport have the same active ingredients and have been used safely for many years.  There are no differences in their risk profiles.I hope this helps.  

Hi and thank you for sharing your question here! Both
Botox and Dysport are safe and effective and they share the same or similar
active ingredient. Both are FDA-approved and the technique of the injection and
location of the injection are the same. However, their dosing is different and
it should not be mixed up. With the exception of one study which received some
controversies over its funding, there is no head to head study that shows which
one is better. Nonetheless, the result can vary from patient to patient and one
might work slightly better in some or last a bit longer in some patients than
the other, while some patients might experience similar results from either one.
Unfortunately there is no sure way to figure out which scenario will be the
case for a new patient who hasn't tried either one and the only way is to try
one or the other and see the results. If the results are good, then there is
really no need to switch and you can continue with the same product. Then in
future if you start to notice that the results are not as good as before (and
that's a possibility with long-term use of Botox and Dysport), then you can
switch to the other product and hopefully you will be back on track! Having
said this, quite honestly I believe that what really makes the difference
not one product or the other, but the skill and experience of your injector! I
hope it helps and good luck!

Dysport and Botox are both safe and FDA approved. They both have been used for years and are very effective at reducing wrinkles and lines. They both have the same risk profile and choosing an experienced and qualified injector is also a key to get a good outcome. 

Hi Mechta007,Botox and Dysport have both been used safely and effectively for many years. I would not consider either of them to have a higher health risk. However, there are other factors that might lead your injector to choose one product over the other, so it's important to have a full consultation and health history review prior to getting a treatment.

Both Botox and Dysport are widely used and have been tested and deemed safe to use.  I would suggest consultation with an experienced injector.  There are certain medical conditions that make any neurotoxin unsafe.  So you need to review your medical history with your doctor.  Good Luck.

Both have been well-researched and been deemed safe for use. Dysport and Botox are used equally. I recommend getting a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist to determine what treatments are right for you. Best, Dr. Emer

Overall, these are extremely safe and profoundly well studied products.  While the products are not bio-equivalent, that related to issues with dosing.  The safety profile and clinical response to these drugs is essentially identical.  Be aware that all of these products have whisper campaigns to suggest that one product is better or worse than another.  There is just no truth to these campaigns.  For all practical purposes, these products are all equally safe and not a single one seems to be better, safer or more effective than another.  Injectors have preferences for one or another of these products related to their relationship to the companies and other factors that have nothing to do with product safety.

Thank you for your
question. Dysport and Botox are both FDA approved and safe to use as
injectables for the face.  However please make sure you seek treatment
from a board-certified dermatologist.  

This is a great question! Both products are FDA approved and equally as safe and effective. Choosing between Dysport and Botox can also be a matter of preference for either the person receiving the treatment or the board-certified surgeon performing the procedure.
