Dysport vs Botox: Which One is Right for You?

As a practicing dermatologist for over a decade, one of the most common questions I receive at my clinic, Influennz, is: “What’s the difference between Dysport and Botox, and which one should I choose?”

Let me walk you through the science, results, and subtle distinctions between the two, including treatment options like Masseter Botox, Botox, and more.

What is the Difference Between Dysport and Botox?

Both Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators derived from botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relax facial muscles and smooth expression lines. However, they differ slightly in:

  Feature   Botox   Dysport
  Onset of results   5–7 days   2–3 days (faster)
  Duration   3–4 months   3–4 months
  Spread   More localized   Spreads more broadly
 Ideal areas   Forehead, glabella, crow’s feet, masseter   Larger areas like the forehead, neck bands

 

At Influennz Clinic, we help you choose based on facial anatomy, treatment goals, and lifestyle preferences.

Dysport vs Botox: What Works Better?

There is no “better” — only what works better for you.

  • Choose Botox if you want precise control over targeted areas (like crow’s feet or frown lines). 
  • Choose Dysport if you want a quicker onset, broader diffusion (for large foreheads), or have developed Botox resistance. 

Both deliver smooth, natural-looking results when administered by a board-certified dermatologist.

Masseter Botox Before and After: Sculpting the Jawline

One of the trending treatments in Delhi is Masseter Botox, especially popular among women with square jaws or those suffering from teeth grinding (bruxism).

Before: Jawline appears wider due to bulky masseter muscles
After (6–8 weeks): A slimmer, V-shaped lower face, reduced tension, and no impact on chewing

This is a safe and effective technique I routinely perform at Influennz Clinic using both Botox and Dysport, depending on patient needs.

Botox for Double Chin: Is It Effective?

Botox for double chin is a great solution for patients who have:

  • A mildly prominent chin pad due to platysmal banding 
  • Chin dimpling or “orange peel” texture 
  • Asymmetrical smile due to muscle pull 

While it’s not a fat-loss treatment (unlike Kybella), Botox can sharpen your jawline and reduce neck bands. Results appear in 7–10 days and last around 3 months.

How Long Does Botox Last?

Whether you’re using Botox or Dysport, results typically last:

  • 3 to 4 months for most facial areas 
  • Up to 6 months for masseter muscle reduction 
  • 2 to 3 months for high-movement zones like lips

With regular treatments, muscle memory weakens, and the interval between sessions often extends over time.

Patients searching for “Botox specials near me” often find discounted offers that may be tempting, but safety and expertise matter more than price.

FAQs About Botox or Dysport

Is Dysport cheaper than Botox?

Yes, Dysport may be slightly cheaper per unit, but it requires more units than Botox. Overall, treatment costs are usually comparable.

Can I switch from Botox to Dysport?

Absolutely. Many of our patients alternate between the two based on results, pricing, or availability. We ensure the transition is seamless.

 How long does it take for Dysport to work?

Dysport usually starts working within 2 to 3 days, which is faster than Botox. Full results are visible in 5 to 7 days.

Is Botox safe long-term?

Yes. Both Botox and Dysport have been studied for over two decades. When administered correctly, they are safe, reversible, and well-tolerated.

Can I combine Botox with fillers?

Definitely. Botox relaxes muscles, while dermal fillers restore volume. Combined, they provide a full-face rejuvenation effect. We often combine them for the best outcome.
