Botox® & Dysport®
Smoother Skin, Naturally Expressive Results
How Botox® & Dysport® Work
Botox® and Dysport® are both formulations of botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle contraction. By relaxing the specific muscles responsible for repetitive expression lines, these treatments smooth existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from deepening — all while preserving natural movement and expression.
- Active ingredient — Botulinum toxin type A
- Onset — Typically 2–5 days (Botox®), 2–3 days (Dysport®), with full effect at 2 weeks
- Duration — Generally 3–4 months
- Typical downtime — None
Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) work through the same mechanism but differ slightly in molecular structure. Dysport® tends to have a faster onset and a broader diffusion pattern, making it well-suited for larger areas like the forehead, while Botox® offers precise, targeted control ideal for smaller or more detailed treatment zones. Your provider will help determine which formulation — or combination — best fits your anatomy and goals.
Every Botox® and Dysport® treatment is performed personally by Dr. Witt, so you always know exactly who is caring for your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Botox® and Dysport®?
Both are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A formulations that work the same way, but Dysport® tends to have a slightly faster onset and spreads a bit more broadly, making it well-suited for larger areas like the forehead, while Botox® allows for more precise, targeted placement. Your provider can recommend the best option — or combination — for your treatment areas.
How long does treatment take, and does it hurt?
Treatment typically takes 15–20 minutes, and most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch; topical numbing cream and ProNox laughing gas are available if you’d like extra comfort during injections.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
You’ll typically notice initial softening within a few days, with full results visible by about 2 weeks; results generally last 3–4 months, depending on the treatment area and your individual metabolism.
Will I look “frozen” or unable to make facial expressions?
No, when dosed and injected precisely by an experienced physician, Botox® and Dysport® relax targeted muscles while preserving natural movement and expression, avoiding an overdone or frozen appearance. Dr. Witt will help to customize a plan that fits with your goals and facial anatomy, with the goal of achieving natural-looking results.
Can neuromodulators be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Botox® and Dysport® pair well with NouvaDerm™ laser resurfacing, Scarlet Pro™ RF microneedling, exosomes, PRP and Sculptra® fillers as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan.
Who is a good candidate for neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators suit patients looking to soften existing expression lines or proactively prevent them from deepening, as well as those interested in jawline slimming or treatment of other medical concerns such as some types of chronic headache syndromes and TMJ-related pain. A consultation with Dr. Witt will help determine the right treatment plan for your goals.
