Botox is one of the most popular neuromodulators used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. While many cosmetic treatment options for these common signs of aging can be effective, the most dramatic results are often achieved with the injections that use a specific type of neurotoxin: abobotulinum toxin type A, or Botox.
However, not all Botox-like neuromodulators are created equal. Some of them have a longer lasting effect than others, depending on the specific type of botulinum toxin used and how the patient uses their muscles.
Although the exact amount of time a Dysport treatment lasts depends on your body and how often you use your facial muscles, generally, it can last anywhere from 3 months to 4 months after the initial injection. The number of Dysport units used by your medical professional also determines how long your results will last.
When it comes to anti-aging treatments for glabella lines, or frown lines, which occur between the brows, Dysport is an alternative to Botox. While both can help soften these creases, Dysport targets the deepest lines between the brows.
Unlike Botox, Dysport has been shown to spread more easily, which can be beneficial for larger surface areas like the forehead. This means you will need fewer Dysport units to achieve the same effect. In addition, the effectiveness of Dysport is often faster than that of Botox.
