The signs of aging show up differently in everyone. You might notice your wrinkles are only seen under certain lighting or at a specific angle. Maybe you see your frown lines in photos, or perhaps the lines around your eyes are more apparent in the rearview mirror. 

Getting wrinkles is something we all face. We can’t stop time or reverse the aging process, but injectables can help you regain a more youthful appearance.  Botox® is the most popular injectable, but it’s not the only one. Dysport® has been gaining notoriety for its beautiful results in correcting frown lines. Here we explain the similarities and differences between the two so you can decide which is better for you.

Botox and Dysport are quite similar. Both come from botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein that is safe when used in small amounts. Although you can use Botox and Dysport for improving various medical conditions, their most popular use is to diminish wrinkles.

Both injectables are considered noninvasive and work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. This stops the muscles from contracting and ultimately smooths the appearance of wrinkles. The differences between the two are rooted in their trace proteins and how they’re manufactured.
