As we age, dynamic lines — caused by repeated facial expressions like frowning or squinting — become more noticeable. Thankfully, today’s neuromodulator injectables like Botox® and Dysport® make achieving smoother, younger-looking skin possible without surgery. While everyone’s skin and aging process is unique, there’s a personalized solution for everyone.

What is Botox®?
Botox® is an FDA-approved and highly regarded injectable treatment that temporarily halts the nerve signals that tell specific facial muscles to contract. By relaxing these muscles, Botox® smooths and softens lines on the skin that form from repeated facial movements, while also preventing new wrinkles from getting deeper.
Long trusted for its safety and versatility, Botox® can be used for a range of applications, such as forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows (11s), crow’s feet, and more. Additionally, some patients take advantage of Botox® for medical concerns like excessive sweating, migraines, or jaw discomfort — all conditions that ongoing muscle contractions can exacerbate.
What is Dysport® and How is it Different?
Dysport® is another popular neuromodulator that works similarly to Botox® but has a few crucial differences. Dysport® is specifically formulated to spread more easily, which makes it ideal for treating larger areas of dynamic wrinkles — especially the forehead. If your top concern is reducing widespread forehead lines or achieving a softer appearance across a broader area, Dysport® can deliver a natural result with fewer injections.
Which One is Right For Me?
Dysport® is a phenomenal option for prominent forehead wrinkles, but Botox® is a fantastic choice if you’d like to target multiple small areas throughout the face. UniQ Laser Center also offers other neuromodulator injectable formulas, including Jeuveau® and Xeomin®, which have their own benefits for specific lines and preferences: Jeuveau® is excellent for treating frown lines, while Xeomin® doesn’t contain the additives that some patients are allergic to in Botox®.
