Dr. Masoud Azizad from N2U Aesthetics in Northridge, California offers Botox and Dysport for wrinkle reduction, both working by relaxing facial muscles. Key differences include Botox's effectiveness in smaller areas, taking up to two weeks for full results, while Dysport can spread to larger areas and show effects in as little as 72 hours. Additionally, Botox typically lasts around three months, whereas Dysport is effective for about four months but can also last up to six months.
Differences between Botox and Dysport
- 1. Differences between Botox and Dysport Masoud Azizad
- 2. Introduction Operating in Northridge, California, Dr. Masoud Azizad is the owner of N2U Aesthetics. A medical spa offering diverse treatments to help patients look their best, Dr. Masoud Azizad uses treatments like Botox and Dysport to reduce lines and wrinkles. Botox and Dysport have similar purposes, but they also have notable differences.
- 3. Botox and Dysport both reduce wrinkles by relaxing muscles in the face. Using injected neurotoxins, Botox and Dysport paralyze muscles at the injection site. When you smile or frown, the muscles that would normally contract while you perform those actions do not react, so your face remains smooth.
- 4. There are several differences between Botox and Dysport, however. The first is the effective target area for each treatment. Botox is most effective in a small target area, like around the eyes. Dysport can paralyze muscles in larger areas, like the forehead, because it will spread out more upon injection.
- 5. Another difference between Botox and Dysport is how long it will take to see results. Botox will take up to two weeks to achieve its full effects, though some patients may see improvements within 72 hours of treatment. In contrast, Dysport injections may take effect immediately for some patients.
- 6. Botox and Dysport also have slightly different recommended time periods between treatments. Botox usually lasts around three months, though its effects may last for up to six months for some patients. One treatment of Dysport is usually effective for about four months, but like Botox, it may remain effective for up to six months.
