Onset of Results: Botox typically shows results in 3–5 days, offering a more gradual improvement over time.
Spread/Diffusion: Precise placement is one of Botox’s key strengths, allowing for targeted treatments in smaller areas like crow’s feet or frown lines.
Dosage Units: Botox has a specific unit measurement, and it’s typically lower in units than Dysport for similar treatment areas.
Formulation: Botox contains protective proteins around the active ingredient, which can affect the speed at which it’s absorbed and how long it lasts.
Ideal For: Smaller, more precise areas like around the eyes (crow’s feet) or frown lines, where a focused approach is needed.
Onset of Results: Results typically appear within 2–3 days, making it a great option for those seeking quicker results.
Spread/Diffusion: Known for its wider spread, Dysport is ideal for treating larger areas, like the forehead, with a more natural, softer effect.
Dosage Units: Dysport is measured in different units, requiring a higher number of units compared to Botox or Nuceiva, though this doesn’t impact effectiveness—just a different scale.
Formulation: Contains more protective proteins around the active ingredient, which can affect how the body absorbs and responds to the treatment.
Ideal For: Larger treatment areas where more diffusion is beneficial, such as the forehead or between the brows.
Onset of Results: Similar to Botox, Nuceiva typically starts showing effects in about 3–5 days.
Spread/Diffusion: Like Botox, Nuceiva provides precise results with a focus on targeted areas, ideal for those looking for more controlled results.
Dosage Units: Nuceiva uses a similar unit measurement to Botox, making it easy for clinicians to transition between the two.
Formulation: Nuceiva offers a purer formulation with fewer accessory proteins than Botox or Dysport, potentially reducing the chance of resistance over time.
Ideal For: Clients looking for a modern option with a focus on precision, particularly for smaller areas like crow’s feet, frown lines, or brow lifts.

ALL ABOUT BOTOX
Frequently Asked questions
How does Botox work?
Botox works by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscle reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How long do Botox results last?
Results from Botox typically last 3 to 4 months. Over time, the muscle activity gradually returns, and wrinkles may start to reappear. Regular treatments can help maintain the smooth, youthful look.
Is Botox safe?
Yes, Botox is FDA-approved for both cosmetic and medical use and is considered safe when administered by a licensed and experienced professional. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, which is why a thorough consultation is essential.
Does Botox hurt?
The injection itself is relatively quick and most patients experience only mild discomfort, often described as a slight pinch or sting. Many patients find the process tolerable without the need for numbing agents, although these can be used if preferred.
What is the recovery time after Botox?
There is minimal downtime after Botox treatments. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, though you should avoid strenuous exercise and lying down for several hours post-treatment. Mild swelling or bruising may occur at the injection site, but these side effects usually subside quickly.
Can Botox be used for other purposes?
Yes, Botox has several medical uses, including the treatment of chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), TMJ disorders, and muscle spasms. Botox is also used in some medical conditions to treat overactive bladder and to improve the appearance of neck bands.
Who is a good candidate for Botox?
Botox is suitable for anyone who is looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding. During your consultation, your injector will assess your skin, medical history, and goals to determine if Botox is the right treatment for you.
How long does a Botox session take?
A typical Botox treatment session usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes depending on the number of areas being treated. The procedure is quick and can easily be done during a lunch break, which is why Botox is sometimes referred to as the “lunch break treatment.”
