Both Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) are FDA-approved botulinum toxin treatments for facial wrinkles. They work through the same mechanism but differ in formulation, unit dosing, and how they spread once injected.
Dysport has a slightly smaller molecular structure, which means it tends to diffuse a little more from the injection site. This can be an advantage for treating larger muscle groups like the forehead, where broader coverage may produce a smoother result. Botox, with its more localised spread, is often preferred for precision areas such as crow's feet or brow shaping.
In terms of onset, Dysport may show initial results slightly faster — sometimes within 2–3 days — while Botox typically begins to take effect at 3–5 days. Duration for both products is similar, averaging 3–4 months depending on your metabolism, muscle activity, and treatment area.
At Sisu Clinic, your provider will recommend Botox or Dysport based on your anatomy and goals during your consultation at our Brickell or Fort Lauderdale locations. Both products are included in the $495 flat-fee offer — you will not be charged more for one over the other.
