What Is Botox?
Botox is a substance used for smoothing and softening wrinkles on the surface of your skin. It's also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A, and a neurotoxin injected into muscles to soften or stop them from moving. Nulook Medspa in Toronto offers Botox injections for rejuvenation and your appearance improvement.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox temporarily paralyzes certain parts of your facial muscles, making them relaxed. It causes the muscles to soften so that your skin looks more smooth and relaxed. It also prevents the formation of deep wrinkles and those tiny lines that appear around your eyes and mouth. Botox is usually injected into the face, neck, and forehead by a licensed medical professional.
A Good Candidate for Botox
It works best for people of any age (older than 18 years old), especially those in their 30s and 40s, and older. It can also be used on people who are in their 20s who have more muscle movement in the face or neck to prevent fine line formation in the future. Botox is not recommended for pregnant and nursing women.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is a treatment used to stop a muscle from moving, and it's very similar to Botox, which also contains Botulinum Toxin Type A. It is also an FDA-approved treatment that's injected into the facial muscles to smooth out wrinkles on the surface of your skin. It is available in two different forms: a solution and powder. Dysport is a popular option for treating wrinkles and facial lines.
How Does Dysport Work?
Dysport is similar to Botox in that it creates a temporary paralysis of your facial muscles. It causes them to stop working, resulting in fewer wrinkles. Dysport also prevents the formation of deep wrinkles and lines that appear around your eyes and mouth.
The Best Candidate For Dysport
Dysport is also an FDA-approved treatment for excessive underarm sweating. It is used to remove sweat from the armpits. As with Botox, Dysport works best on people in their 20s/ 30s or 40s looking for treatment for premature wrinkles.
Main Differences Between Botox And Dysport?
There are several differences between Dysport and Botox, and these include:
- Dysport is three times more diluted than Botox, that’s why it spreads more quickly. It makes Dysport good for use on larger areas such as the forehead. While Botox is better for small areas such as Crow’s feet lines.
- Dysport is given as an injection into the muscles, the same for Botox. However, Botox stays in your muscles for an extended period than Dysport.
- Botox is said to be slightly more effective compared to Dysport. It lasts for approximately 2-4 months longer compared to Dysport's four-month effect, which means you'll need fewer treatments to achieve results compared to those who use Dysport. The unit price of Dysport is usually less expensive, but as long as it is more diluted than Botox, the price of the treatment comes up to about the same.
- Botox effects take a little longer to appear. You'll have to wait roughly 72 hours or more before you can see any results, while you see results within 24 hours when using Dysport.
