Buy now online !!! Which to choose? BOTOX x DYSPORT
This is one of the most
frequently asked question in cosmetology. It would be fair to say that each
product has its own characteristics, and both are equally popular.
So, what is better – Dysport or
Botox? Even though these products have similar properties and mechanism of
action, there are still differences between them. But before you think about
which one is better, it is necessary to fully understand what they are.
Many people mistakenly assume
that these are different products, but it is far from the truth because they
have the same main ingredient – botulinum toxin. The manufacturers of Dysport
and Botox use a variety of additional components, known as excipients, but
despite this, when used in aesthetic medicine, these products have a few common
tasks, such as:
- elimination of mimic wrinkles in
the corners of the eyes known as “crow’s feet”;
- elimination of nose wrinkles
known as “bunny lines”;
- elimination of wrinkles on the
chin, forehead, neck;
- treatment of facial asymmetry;
- reduction of excessive sweating,
known as “hyperhidrosis”;
- lifting of the upper eyelid caused by sagging of the tissues known as “ptosis”.
Botox is a drug manufactured by
the American company Allergan. Its history has been going on for more than
three decades while Dysport is a French product and was developed not so long
ago. Both are considered to be the most effective modern tools in the field of
cosmetology, as evidenced by the reviews of doctors.
In order for the effects of
Dysport and Botox to be improved, and the risk of side effects and
complications to be minimized, doctors recommend taking time to prepare for the
procedure which requires a certain level of self-discipline:
- stop taking antibiotics
- stop taking blood thinning
medications
- limit yourself in drinking
alcohol and smoking a few days before the actual procedure.
Botulinum toxin’s mechanism of
action is very simple: it causes muscle paralysis, preventing it from
contracting. As a result, folds and wrinkles begin to smooth out. After this
procedure, the person stops squinting or frowning.
DYSPORT INJECTION
Dysport injections are considered
to be very popular in modern cosmetology. This remedy effectively fights mimic
wrinkles and helps with various neurological diseases.
Dysport is a serious weapon that
doctors use for blocking muscle groups and fighting problems that are caused by
the muscle contractions.
In order to better designate the
area of treatment, the doctor asks the patient to strain the facial muscles and
then relax and return them to the maximum state of rest.
For injecting both Dysport and
Botox, aesthetic practitioners use the thinnest and most delicate needles, so
after the procedure skin injuries are minimal. The dosage of Dysport is
prescribed by the doctor strictly on an individual basis and depends on such
factors as patient’s age, general skin condition and wrinkle depth.
The procedure is considered
non-painful, since the microneedles cause minimal or no injury to the skin. A
big plus of Dysport injections is a short duration of the procedure, which takes
from 10 minutes to half an hour.
Treatment with Dysport produces
cumulative effect, so the patient should not expect an instant result after
visiting a cosmetologist. The first results will be noticeable within about 14
days after the session.
Results of treatment with Dysport
last on average up to 3 months. However, if you properly care for your skin and
follow all the doctor’s recommendations, the effect may last for another 1-2
months.
BOTOX INJECTION
Botox injections are also
considered to be one of the most effective methods for smoothing wrinkles.
Same as with Dysport, the
procedure is practically painless, because the needles are very thin, usually
of 30 Gauge, and cause no trauma to the skin.
Botox injections can be
administered not only in the face, but also in the neck and even into the
hands. In case with treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of armpits,
palms, etc.) it has been proven that there is nothing better than Botox.
If the doctor has the appropriate
qualifications and education, and the patient in the rehabilitation period
strictly follows all instructions, then the risk of complications and side
effects after Botox injection is almost minimal.
One of the main advantages of
Botox is a noticeable positive effect after the first use of the drug: after 72
hours, the skin looks rejuvenated and refreshed, and the face visually looks a
few years younger.
DYSPORT OR BOTOX? AND WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE?
Both Dysport and Botox are used
to relax the muscles, and thus smooth out wrinkles on the face, neck, décolleté
and hands.
The main difference consists in
how quickly the results become noticeable: after Botox the result becomes
noticeable on the third day, and after Dysport – within 2 weeks.
Also, there are no equals when it
comes to using Dysport for crows feet because it ensures minimal risk of loss
of elasticity with soft tissues around the treatment area. And Botox is very
effective in the area of eyebrows, as well as the mouth and has no equals for
treating hyperhidrosis of palms, armpits and feet.
SO, WHAT IS BETTER TO CHOOSE –
DYSPORT OR BOTOX?
It should be made clear that both
Dysport and Botox have the same active ingredient – botulinum toxin – and that
is why they are almost identical in the way they work. They differ in cost,
concentration and duration of effect. However, when it comes to deciding which
one is better to choose, I, Anna, personally believe it is not the difference
in products we should be looking at, but at the qualifications and experience
of the specialist.
