Botox vs. Dysport vs. Jeuveau: Which One Is Right for You?
Three wrinkle relaxers, one goal. How they compare, and how we help you choose.
By Nikita Musta, RN · 5 min read · Botox & Tox
When clients book tox at Aesthetic Beauty Lab, they often ask: which one should I get? Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau are all FDA-approved neurotoxins that soften expression lines like forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet. They are more alike than different, but there are a few things worth knowing.
What they have in common
All three are made from botulinum toxin type A. They relax the muscles that cause lines when you move your face. Results usually show within a few days, reach full effect in about 2 weeks and last around 3 to 4 months for most people.
Quick comparison
| Botox | Dysport | Jeuveau |
|---|
| First results | About 3 to 5 days | Often 2 to 3 days | About 3 to 5 days |
| Full results | About 2 weeks | About 2 weeks | About 2 weeks |
| Typically lasts | 3 to 4 months | 3 to 4 months | 3 to 4 months |
| Known for | The most studied, most familiar name | Spreads a little more, nice for larger areas like the forehead | Made just for aesthetics, a popular newer option |
Units are not the same
Dysport is measured in different units than Botox and Jeuveau, so the numbers do not compare one-to-one. A higher Dysport unit count does not mean a bigger treatment. That is why it helps to talk through your plan with your injector instead of comparing unit counts online.
So which one is best?
The best choice depends on your face, your goals and how your body has responded before. Some clients like the fast start of Dysport. Others stick with Botox because they know how it works for them. At your visit, your nurse injector looks at how your muscles move and recommends the product and dose that gives you a natural, rested look.
