Dysport: The New Botox

You may have heard of it…I know I’ve mentioned it a couple of times, so now it’s time to talk about it. Dysport, Botox’s new competitor, is now being introduced heavily into the American market. Dysport has the same molecules as Botox but it’s packaged in a different way, so the delivery is a little bit different. As I talk about in the video, the word on the street is that it acts faster and lasts longer than Botox. This has not yet been proven in a scientific study.

So, what’s the difference between the two?

Something interesting that’s been found on the Botox side is that, in some people, the body can build up antibodies to it, making it less effective. Dysport, on the other hand, seems to have no antibody development in patients that used it. Again, this is based on weak scientific data.

Another difference that may have been found is the “droopy brow syndrome.” Dysport seems to have a lower percentage of patients who develop a droopy brow after treating the wrinkles in between the eyebrows (and for those of you who have never had either of these products, the “droop” DOES go away). Although no actual studies have been done directly comparing Botox and Dysport, I’m sure that we’ll be seeing some come up.

Here is a bit more on the subject:

If you have any questions at all, please let me know. We’ll keep you posted on Betsy’s experience with Dysport and we’ll see which one she prefers.

Have you tried Dysport yet? If so, what did you think? Did you like it better than Botox? Looking forward to your comments.
