For clients looking to fight the signs of aging, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, Neuromodulator Injections such as Botox or Dysport are a good choice. Both Dysport and Botox injections only take a few minutes to administer, and results are fast-acting and last for several months.
Both treatments contain a similar main ingredient, but the trace protein amounts they contain vary. As a result, one treatment may be more effective than the other for certain people. Our bodies react differently to different substances, and botulinum is no exception.
Dysport and Botox injections reduce the appearance of wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles beneath the skin. By relaxing the muscles, the skin on top becomes smoother.
Neuromodulator Injections are nonsurgical forms of wrinkle treatment with quick recovery rates, and no downtime. The results are a natural-looking smoothing of lines and wrinkles that help show the world the true you.
“It can be a very simple, straightforward treatment with minimal risk,” says Dr. Khetarpal. “It can really improve your appearance and make you look more awake and well-rested while looking natural.”

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a botulinum injectable treatment that disrupts the nerve signaling processes responsible for muscle movement. Unlike dermal fillers that enhance facial volume, this injectable works by relaxing your muscles and preventing them from causing added strain to your skin. The full results of this muscle relaxation are achieved in 14 days.
Dysport® injections are similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic. The main difference lies in the formulations of each treatment. The formulas for Botox and Dysport are slightly different based on the protein used in each. Dysport’s formula is known to spread a little bit more once injected into the skin. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a great choice for treating small areas like crow’s feet. For larger wrinkles like those on the forehead, we would recommend Dysport.®
This popular injectable treatment is used on a variety of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
The injection process takes as little as 10 minutes to perform, and you can experience the results within 2-7 days after your visit. Side effects are minimal. In some cases, you may experience redness at the injection site. This typically goes away after a couple of days. There is no downtime needed after this treatment.
Both Dysport and Botox, are injected using a needle. Just like any injection, redness and swelling and sometimes bruising can be expected. These side effects usually last few days.
The major benefit of BOTOX® Cosmetic is that it tends to last an average of 3-4 months. During that period of time, you will maintain smooth, wrinkle-free skin. You can always reach out to our team at Lavana to schedule follow-up appointments. Regular maintenance can ensure that your results last for the long term.
Clinical trials show that Dysport® injections can last up to five months. . Dysport takes place immediately in most patients, while with Botox, full results generally don’t take effect for up to 14 days.
The goal of both cosmetic treatments is facial rejuvenation with a refreshed, natural look. However, the best injectable will depend on the patient’s goal and the targeted muscles. Our experienced cosmetic injectors will determine your goals and the right treatment option during your free consultation.
At Lavana, we strive to help our clients improve their confidence and feel empowered. If you have fine lines and wrinkles that you want to remove, we can help. Here are before and after pictures of neuromodulator treatments we offer at Lavana.
