What are Botox & Dysport and how do they work?

Botox and Dysport are both neurotoxins; that is, they work by temporarily blocking nerve impulses to very specific facial muscles. This relaxes the muscles just enough to stop habitual squinting and frowning that results in lines between the eyebrows (frown lines) or outside the eyes (crow’s feet), as well as creases on the forehead.

Botox vs. Dysport

Botox in AtlantaBotox and Dysport are both made from a low dose of the neurotoxin botulinum type A, which is just enough to relax muscles for a few months, until the effects wear off. The main difference is that Botox is formulated to spread a little less readily, while Dysport spreads just a little more easily.

Dysport in AtlantaBoth have been used safely and successfully for years, and both end up costing about the same per treatment; some patients simply like their results a little better with Botox than Dysport, and vice versa. Our experienced professionals can help you choose the right product for your needs.

What to expect with Botox or Dysport injections

No downtime is needed after Botox or Dysport injections, although we do ask that patients refrain from hard workouts for 1 to 2 days. Temporary soreness, bruising, redness, and minor swelling are common after-effects, which typically disappear within 1 to 2 weeks.

How long do Botox results last?

Botox and Dysport take about 2 to 7 days to start working, with full effects in place about 8 to 14 days after treatment. Results from either product will last about 3 to 4 months for the majority of patients.

Our Artisan tip:

If you’re planning for a big event like a wedding or graduation, it’s best to come in for your injectable treatment about one month prior. This allows time for any touch-ups to perfect your look, should they be needed.
