Botox vs Dysport in Scottsdale
What’s the Difference?

If you’re deciding between Botox and Dysport, you’re not alone! At Esthetic Finesse in Scottsdale, Nurse Diane Howard takes a personalized approach to help you choose what’s best for your face, your features, and your goals.

Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved wrinkle relaxers that soften dynamic lines like forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet, but they differ in how they spread, how quickly they work, and where they shine.

Dysport tends to diffuse more, making it great for broader areas like the forehead, while Botox allows for super-precise placement in areas like the glabella or around the eyes. The key? Understanding your anatomy, how your muscles move, and how it is used balance everything naturally.

When To Use Botox or Dysport:

Choose Botox if:

  • You’re targeting small areas like crow’s feet or frown lines
  • You need high precision for muscle control
  • You’ve had consistent results with Botox in the past

Choose Dysport if:

  • You want a more diffused softening across your forehead or jawline
  • You’re looking for quicker results
  • You prefer subtle blending with fewer injection points

How Botox and Dysport Work:

Botox and Dysport are both neurotoxins that temporarily relax muscle movement to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. While they work in similar ways, the difference lies in how they spread under the skin, how quickly they take effect, and how they’re used in facial balancing.

What to Expect at Your Appointment:

  • Consultation: You’ll meet with Nurse Diane to assess facial movement and goals.
  • Treatment Plan: She’ll choose Botox, Dysport, or both based on your facial structure.
  • Injection Session: Painless, quick, and done in under 30 minutes.
  • Aftercare: No downtime. Results show within a few days. Full effects settle in after 10–14 days.

Botox vs Dysport FAQs

How long does Dysport last compared to Botox?

Dysport typically lasts about 4 to 5 months, while Botox lasts around 3 to 4 months. Longevity depends on your facial muscle strength and the treatment area. If you’re looking for consistent maintenance, check out our Botox Scottsdale page for detailed treatment planning.

Is Dysport better for forehead lines?

In many cases, yes. Dysport spreads more easily, which can make it ideal for treating wider areas like the forehead. Botox may still be preferred. We often recommend Dysport for forehead smoothing and Botox for smaller zones like crow’s feet.

Can I combine Botox and Dysport in one session?

Absolutely. Nurse Diane often uses both products together for optimal facial balancing — especially when treating areas that require both precision and soft blending. Learn more about our Facial Balancing approach.

Will the results look natural?

Yes — when performed by an experienced injector. At Esthetic Finesse, we prioritize natural movement and symmetry, never an overdone or frozen look. Want subtle slimming or shaping? Explore our Masseter tox options using Botox and Dysport.

How do I know which one is right for me?

It depends on your goals, facial anatomy, and the areas being treated. During your consultation, Nurse Diane will map out muscle activity and recommend a personalized plan.

Is Dysport cheaper than Botox in Scottsdale?

Dysport is often priced slightly lower per unit, but you may need more units to match Botox results. The final cost depends on the area treated and your aesthetic goals. Explore current rates on our pricing page.
