Botox & Dysport
What’s The Difference?
Botox and Dysport are both neuromodulators that temporarily weaken the muscle they are injected into.
Botox takes about 5-7 days to start working and lasts around 4 months. Dysport has a 1-3 day onset and lasts around 3 months. Dysport also requires twice as many units as Botox, which is reflected in the price per unit.
