Botox or Dysport in Mundelein, which should I choose?
Botox and Dysport are both used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and other skin issues associated with aging. As both these treatments use a similar type of neurotoxin and are often used for treating similar conditions, people are often confused which one to choose.
In this article, I’ll explain which one I’d prefer if I had the choice between Botox and Dysport in Mundelein.
Botox
Botox is one of the most popular treatments for treating skin issues such as wrinkles, acne scars, fine lines, etc. Specifically, it is used to treat visible wrinkles in the glabella (between the eye brows) and crow’s feet wrinkles.
It mainly uses Botulinum toxin a neurotoxin that paralyzes human muscles responsible for causing wrinkles.
Botox was approved by FDA for human use in 2002 and has become the most widely used method for treating wrinkles since then, as millions of Botox injections are delivered each year across the world.
Dysport
Dysport also uses botulinum toxin for treating wrinkles in glabella and crow’s feet, just like Botox. Both the treatments are quite similar and use the same neurotoxin, although Dysport contains a slightly different chemical variation of Botulinum Toxin.
Some studies claim that Dysport is better for treating wrinkles, although there is still no conclusive evidence to prove that Botox is inferior to Dysport in any way. Specifically, there was 1 study have provided evidence that Dysport is superior at reducing signs of crow’s feet wrinkles when participants contracted their facial muscles as much as they could.
In addition, two-thirds of the participants preferred the results on the side of the face treated with Dysport.
Neither the researchers nor the patients knew which side received which treatment.
Dysport is a bit cheaper than Botox, and several patients who have tried both Botox and Dysport say that they prefer Dysport over Botox as it’s more effective for treating wrinkles associated with crow’s feet, has fewer side effects and spreads more evenly across the treated area compared to Botox.
Which one is better?
It’s difficult to answer which one is better as both Botox and Dysport are quite similar and use the same neurotoxin. Although, based on some studies and through our own patient’s experience, I there is some evidence that Dysport may prove more effective for treating specific kinds of wrinkles and is also a bit cheaper than Botox, giving Dysport has a slight edge over Botox in specific circumstances.
