Is the BOTOX®/Dysport™ Still Holding after 2 1/2 Months

It’s been 2 1/2 months since the BOTOX® and Dysport™ injections for me and my partner-in-crime.   Since they both advertise to hold the results for up to 4 months, I was interested to check in to see how we are doing.

I have learned that it is the nature of Botulinum Toxin to relax gradually over time.

As you can see from the pictures, the glabellar lines are still holding for both of us as we each try our best to make a deep scowl mark between our eyes.  BOTOX® (left), Dysport™ (right).

As you can also see from the next pictures, the forehead lines are starting to come back for both of us. BOTOX® (left), Dysport™ (right).

Sorry, but I do not have any crows feet pictures for today.

Overall, I have to say that it appears that the Dysport™ is holding a little better than the BOTOX®, in terms of wrinkling effect, in these examples. The lines in the Dysport™ photo (right) are not all from current wrinkles, but darkness in the skin from getting a lot of sun in the wrinkle lines (from repetitive motion through the years of having a very expressive face 🙂 ) before BOTOX® or Dysport™ treatments.

The actual wrinkled skin shows up more in the BOTOX® photo (left), which is the whole point of the Botulinum Toxin treatment… to relax the muscles that create the wrinkle.

Both products include the same Botulinum Toxin and are competitors in this marketplace.
