Botox and Dysport are both popular neurotoxins that are used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a more youthful appearance. However, these two products have a few key differences between them. Firstly, Botox and Dysport have different concentrations of active ingredients, which affects how the product spreads across the treatment area. Additionally, the number of units used for each differs - leading to a difference in price. Treatment areas can differ, however we exclusively utilize Dysport for sake of consistency.
How Much Do Botox and Dysport Cost? It's important to remember that the cost of treatments such as Botox or Dysport vary depending on your goals, your injector, and area you are treating. Generally, a one-time dose of Botox for someone with moderate frown lines will use around 20 units. In comparison, Dysport tends to need about twice as much, so typically involves double the amount – 40 units. Pricing per unit does reflect the quantity needed, with Dysport priced around $4 per unit and Botox at $8 or more.
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport? Botox and Dysport both contain quality ingredients, but price can be a differentiating factor—usually Botox is cheaper than Dysport. Both products are effective in reducing wrinkles caused by facial movements such as frown lines (glabellar) or crow's feet.
Is There a Difference Between Botox and Dysport? Yes, although both treatments contain botulinum toxin Type A and B, there are some differences between the two. Namely, the side effects of Botox versus Dysport. While both Botox and Dysport have similar effects, there have been some reports that Dysport can have more of an effect on other areas around the injection site than Botox does, so your injector will need to be trained on this phenomenon and treat accordingly.
