botox / dysport

Injectable neuromodulators, such as Botox or Dysport, are derived from botulinum toxin.  There are many brands, but they all work by preventing and correcting fine lines and wrinkles. Full effect can take at least 14 days after treatment.  Charged per unit. The number of units will be assessed on an individual basis.

UNIT PRICE: $13

botox

Botox is made by Allergan and has been around the longest of all the neurotoxin brands. On average, results last about 3 months but can vary from person to person.

dysport

Dysport is made by Galderma and it is a smaller molecule than Botox, but that doesn’t make it inferior to Botox. Dysport tends to “kick in” slightly sooner than Botox, however, full results for all neuromodulators take at least 14 days for full effect.
