Botox and Dysport are both produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. These toxins contain the same ingredients, however, the toxins are processed differently in the laboratory so the effects can vary slightly. To determine the correct product for you, your practitioner will ask some questions regarding previous experiences with Botox / Dysport, areas to be treated, allergies to food or medications, and requested end results.

Depending on the areas treated will determine when results can be seen. The smaller facial muscles will often show results within a few days, where larger muscles take more time to show the results, between 2 to 3 weeks.

Results from Botox/ and or Dysport can vary for each person. Factors including lifestyle, genetics, sun exposure, and metabolism will affect the longevity of the treatment. Most clients will come in for retreatment between 4 to 6 months. However, it is not suggested to retreat the same area until at least 3 months after treatment.
