“Botox” or “Dysport”: what to choose, comparison of drugs

The main causes of unwanted manifestations:

• Allergic reactions;
• Errors in the procedure;
• Violation of the regime before and after the administration of drugs (taking alcohol, illicit drugs).

Allergy to the drug is the main cause of complications from injections. If such a reaction to Botox occurs, then this is considered a contraindication for the administration of Dysport. The inexperience of the cosmetologist or the patient's failure to comply with instructions can lead to the spread of botulinum toxin beyond the planned treatment area. Because of this, a violation of facial expression occurs in the form of asymmetry of the eyelids, eyebrows and other parts of the face.

After injections, patients are not recommended to drink alcoholic beverages, play sports, sunbathe, or perform cosmetic procedures. Do not lie down for several hours. It is worth stopping taking medications as prescribed by your doctor.

The ability to independently buy botulinum toxin-based products and inject them at home increases the risk of complications. To avoid harmful consequences, it is better to choose to have the procedure performed by a cosmetologist.

If the rules are followed, both drugs are equally safe.

Which drug lasts longer?

There is no objective evidence as to which remedy is stronger and longer lasting than the other. The effect largely depends on the patient and the experience of the cosmetologist.

It’s better to find out which procedure’s results last longer – from Dysport or Botox – from reviews or from comparison tables. Many clients claim that the duration of action of the latter is 2-3 months longer, this was indeed true, but this is in the past! As of 2022, all drugs cost the same in time, and the mildest drug is Xeomin.

Features of application

Both Botox and Dysport are used to correct wrinkles in the upper third of the face. Injections are administered in a similar way - of course, taking into account the fact that different amounts of drugs are required. However, Dysport is also legally bound by the following procedures:

• Elimination of wrinkles in the lower third of the face – purse-string, nasolabial;
• Treatment of increased sweating in problem areas.

The choice of drug by a cosmetologist has nothing to do with the patient’s age. There are no age limits - for example, Dysport is used up to 40 years old, and then Botox. The specialist selects an injection solution in each case individually, taking into account the characteristics of the patient’s body, the severity of facial expressions, and muscle activity.

Before carrying out the procedure, a comprehensive examination is required. It is recommended to do an ultrasound examination of the soft tissues of the face. Only after the cosmetologist knows all the characteristics of the patient’s body will the drug be selected. It is worth noting that the client’s desire is also taken into account - some prefer to use only one drug, and psychological comfort plays an important role here.

The severity of the result and the duration of the effect directly depend on the dose. The more drug is administered, the longer the visible effect will last. The characteristics of a person’s metabolism and how quickly their nerve endings are restored also play a role.

Reviews about Botox

To find out whether Botox, Dysport or Xeomin is better and more effective, you should consult thematic forums.

Reviews about the use of Botox are positive in 90% of cases. Users note high efficiency, long-lasting action:

Anna, 43 years old: “The cosmetologist did the injections quickly, but a little painfully. I saw the effect in the morning. I got up, but my frown was gone. Gradually, the forehead completely smoothed out, and only 5 days have passed.”

Elena Ivanovna, 48 years old: “I’ve been taking injections for 6 years. The next day you can already see the changes. It’s nice to see how you’re getting younger and more attractive right before your eyes. After the procedure, I introduced a ban on solariums and saunas; doctors advised me not to take antibiotics and give up alcohol. I tried Relatox, but it’s not the same.”

Christina, 37 years old: “I did the procedure several times and did not know that much depends on the specialists. The first time everything went fine, there were no traces of injections or swelling left. The folds disappeared for six months. A year later I did it again and regretted it - immediately after the injections marks appeared, after 2 hours there was swelling, which disappeared only after 4 days.”

Botulax

The newest drug from the Korean manufacturer. Botulax has been available in Russia since the end of 2016.

Its leading advantage is its low cost and hypoallergenicity. The drug contains botulinum toxin type A, human albumin and saline. All components are not rejected by the body, so allergic reactions are not observed. Botulax is applied pointwise, as it is not prone to diffusion - migration to neighboring tissue areas. Therefore, like Xeomin, it is also used for mesobotox.

The diluted drug can be stored for no more than 24 hours before administration; it is very sensitive to heat and requires special storage conditions.

The effect of Botulax injections appears on the 3rd day after the procedure. Its maximum effect is achieved after 2 weeks. The result lasts up to 4-6 months.

The Korean analogue of Botox has only 3 disadvantages: painful injection, risk of side effects and ineffectiveness. Botulax appeared on the Russian market only 2 years ago. At the moment, the drug has undergone few clinical studies. Therefore, the remedy may not be suitable for everyone: the result may be minimal or absent, and there is also a risk of side effects.

Reviews about "Dysport"

Many women cannot decide which is better - Botox or Dysport; the reviews are mixed.

Taya, 41 years old: “Dysport lasts me for 9 months. Botox doesn't work for me, although it's considered stronger. You just need to be careful with crow's feet. When they injected me, wrinkles began to form under my eyes.”

Irina, 39 years old: “Dysport has a gentler effect, it removes small wrinkles near the corners of the eyes, but it’s better to inject Botox on the forehead.”

Tatyana, 42 years old: “I do disport to the forehead and between the eyebrows. I walk for at least six months without a frown on my forehead, which is especially good in the summer, because the sun causes wrinkles in this area. I placed it near the eyes to remove microwrinkles, but it didn’t work, swelling formed.”

Comments from cosmetologists

Cosmetologists agree that the effect of both drugs is the same; there is no objective evidence that one of them is more effective than the other or lasts longer. 80% of people have similar effects from using both products. 5% of people are not affected by either, due to immunity to botulinum toxin. 15% of clients note a difference in favor of different drugs.

Experts advise: if the client is satisfied with the effectiveness of the drug, then replacing it does not make sense. If the clinical manifestations are not satisfactory, you can try another remedy.

Recommendations from Beauty Lounge Specialists

Before performing injection procedures, consultation with a specialist is required. A qualified cosmetologist will familiarize yourself with the skin condition, initial data and indicate the recommended treatment plan, including the drug and the number of units.

After the procedure, you should follow all the recommendations of specialists: for 7-10 days you should not massage or rub your face, overheat the treated area, sunbathe, swim in a pool or natural reservoirs, sleep with your face in a pillow, do other cosmetic procedures, and also take alcohol and spicy food .
