What makes Dysport different from Botox? contributed by: Yvette González, RN, MSN, APRN, FNPC-BC I discover that a large number of my patients are not completely aware of the causes and effects of onabotulism. much less the distinction between dysport and botox. Let us begin with the fundamentals. Injectable neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport are used to address wrinkles and fine lines. A neuro? When a patient receives Botox, Dysport, or any injectable neurotoxic, the bacterium that induces the desired facial muscle relaxation is classified as a neurotoxin. Dysport vs. Botox So what are the distinctions between Dysport and Botox? The component of dysport is abobotulinumtoxin A. Onabotulinumtoxin A is the ingredient in botox. When injected into the facial muscles, a very little quantity of botulinum toxin is present in both, which helps to suppress muscular spasms. The intention is for that muscle to relax, which will enhance the way wrinkles (rhytides) form. There are, nonetheless, minor variations between these two injectable brands. Since dysport spreads a bit more easily than botox, the injector has to exercise caution to avoid overdosing any particular parts of the patient’s face, which might result in eyelid ptosis or other unfavorable symptoms. Additionally, dysport has smaller molecules than botox, which means it will start working faster. Because it does not spread and is less prone to leak into adjacent places, botox is useful for injecting tiny areas. But the dosage determines how long each product lasts. The longer the product should last, the more units a patient gets of the medication. What are the key contraindications for both injectables that you should be aware of? Dysport should not be used by someone who is sensitive to cow’s milk since it may trigger an allergic response in them. Additionally, prior to receiving either injectable, a patient should not be using any blood thinners. Before stopping or altering their blood thinner regimen, patients should speak with their physician since doing so may be fatal. Before using any neurotoxin injectables, the patient should also speak with their doctor if they suffer from any of the following conditions: neurological disorders, numbness, weakness, facial paralysis, myasthenia gravis, hepatitis, eye disease, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, parkinson’s disease, lambert-eaton syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and allergies to any of the botox or dysport components.
