At Diversions Med Spa in Albuquerque, we offer both Dysport and Botox because no two faces — and no two patients — are alike. Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable that, like Botox, uses botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles. What sets Dysport apart is its unique formulation: it tends to diffuse more naturally across a treatment area, producing a soft, even result that many patients prefer for larger zones like the forehead. Our expert injectors understand the nuances of each product and will recommend the best choice for your anatomy, your goals, and the look you want to achieve.
Dysport and Botox share the same active ingredient but differ in formulation, which creates distinct advantages for different treatment scenarios. Understanding these differences is key to optimal results.
Dysport’s smaller protein structure allows it to spread more readily after injection, making it particularly effective for broader areas like the forehead where a smooth, even effect is desired. Many patients notice results from Dysport within 2 to 3 days, compared to the 3 to 5 days typical with Botox. Both products last approximately 3 to 4 months. At our Albuquerque med spa, we treat frown lines (the vertical “11s” between the brows), horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, and other dynamic wrinkles with Dysport. Some patients find they prefer one product over the other, and we encourage trying both to discover which delivers your ideal result. Our dual expertise in Dysport and Botox means you always receive the product best suited to your specific needs.
