What can treatments likeDysportand Botoxdo for you and your skin? That's one of the most common questions our Advanced Aestheticsteam gets in our Oklahoma Cityoffice. They're both neuromodulatorsthat can help relax wrinkles. Both Botox and Dysportcontain botulinum toxin A, yet they move through your skin at different speeds and in different patterns. But which one will work best for you? Our team has prepared this guide to help you answer that question.
How They Work in Plain Language
Both Botoxand Dysportwork the same way once they reach their intended target: muscle. The treatments block the nerve signal that tells your muscle to contract (that's what neuromodulators do). When that signal is paused, your muscle relaxes, and the skin above it can lie flat instead of folding into a crease.
The FDA has cleared Dysport and Botoxto soften frown lines, crow’s feet, and horizontal forehead wrinkles. A treatment session at Advanced Aestheticsuses just a handful of tiny injections with an ultra‑fine needle. You'll feel only a few quick, light pinches and can return to your day right away.
Speed of Results
- Dysport: Early changes show intwo to five days. Full softening appears by day 10.
- Botox: Results begin infive to seven days. Peak smoothness typically arrives around two weeks.
When a big Oklahoma Cityevent is around the corner, Dysport's faster onset is handy. For less urgent timelines, Botoxstill delivers on schedule.
How Far They Spread
Because Dysportmolecules are smaller, the product spreads out a bit wider once it settles. It can cover large muscles with fewer injections. Botox stays closer to the injection point, so you get pinpoint control near sensitive spots like the crow's-feet area. Your injector reviews muscle size and movement to pick the right spread.
Units, Doses, and Cost
A "unit" is brand‑specific. During an in-person consultation with one of our expert injectors, we can provide accurate pricing for clients based on their anatomy, goals, age, and the amount of product to be used. Prices for Botox & Dysport start at $13.50 / unit.
Longevity and Maintenance
Most of our Oklahoma Cityclients enjoy smooth skin for three to four months before movement creeps back. Some feel Dysport fades a little sooner; others find Botox eases off first. Metabolism, lifestyle, and dose matter more than brand. Staying on a four-month rhythm keeps lines gently muted throughout the year.
Ideal Treatment Areas and Why
Choosing between Dysport and Botoxoften comes down to muscle size and location. Dysportis a smart choice for wide forehead lines because its smaller molecules disperse under your skin. Our injectors can cover thefrontalis musclewith fewer injection points. The same quick spread, paired with Dysport's faster onset, makes it helpful when you need visible smoothing before an upcoming event.
Botoxexcels when precise control is essential. Its tighter diffusion allows us to soften crow's feet without relaxing the nearby smile muscles. The focused action also works well for subtle brow lifts, lip flips, and gummy‑smile corrections, where tiny, exact doses keep delicate muscles balanced. Sometimes,we combine both productsin one visit: Dysport smooths broad zones, while Botox fine-tunes detailed areas to deliver balanced, natural-looking results.
Safety and Comfort
Minor bruises or mild headaches happen infrequently and fade quickly. Advanced Aesthetics uses ultra‑fine needles and offersPro‑Noxto help manage your pain. It's available on request. Pregnancy, nursing, or certain neurological conditions call for postponing treatment, so your provider will always review your health history first.
