Botox vs. Dysport: Is there a difference?
At Boutik Dermatology, we believe that subtle, precise aesthetic treatments create the most natural and confident results.
Among our most requested procedures are Botox® and Dysport® — two FDA-approved neuromodulators that soften expression lines and prevent deeper wrinkles over time.
While they work in similar ways, there are key differences that can make one option a better fit for your goals.
How Do Botox and Dysport Work?
Both Botox and Dysport contain botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for repetitive facial movements.
When injected with expert precision, this process smooths fine lines, refines skin texture, and restores a rested appearance — without changing your natural expression.
Common treatment areas include:
Forehead lines
Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows)
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Bunny lines on the nose
Lip lines and chin dimpling
The Key Differences
While the science behind both products is similar, small variations in formulation and diffusion create nuanced differences in results and treatment experience.
Some patients prefer the crisp precision of Botox; others love the soft, blended look of Dysport. Many maintain results year-round by alternating or combining the two.
Your consultation will include a full assessment of your skin, facial structure, and aesthetic goals to customize your treatment plan.
Ultimately, both products deliver smooth, refreshed results when administered by a skilled injector who understands your anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
The Boutik Approach
At Boutik Dermatology, your injector will evaluate your anatomy, muscle strength, and aesthetic goals to determine which option is ideal for you—or whether a combination approach is best.
At Boutik Dermatology, every injectable treatment is tailored, not templated.
Our team of expert injectors, led by Dr. Onyeka Obioha-Lolagne, uses advanced mapping and micro-dosing techniques to achieve balanced, natural results that enhance rather than alter.
We’re also thrilled to introduce our newest injector, Niloofar, PA-C, who brings extensive experience in aesthetic medicine and a refined, patient-centered approach. She performs injectable treatments under Dr. Obioha’s direction, ensuring the same meticulous results our patients trust and love.
Which One Is Right for You?
Choosing between Botox and Dysport isn’t about which is better. It’s about which is better for you.
Your provider will evaluate your facial anatomy, muscle strength, skin elasticity, and goals to recommend the optimal option or combination approach.
Whether you’re new to neuromodulators or maintaining your glow before the holidays, this is an ideal time to refresh your look.
