Dysport vs. BOTOX® Cosmetic: What’s the Difference—and Which Is Right for You?
Boise, Idaho — Patients often ask if there’s a big difference between Dysport and BOTOX® Cosmetic. Short answer: they’re more alike than different. Both soften lines caused by movement and can deliver natural-looking results with a thoughtful plan. At Granite Mountain Surgery, our injectable care is physician-led, conservative, and focused on your goals. We currently offer BOTOX® Cosmetic in clinic.

The Helpful Comparison
How they’re similar
Both are neurotoxins used to soften expression lines (forehead, “11s,” crow’s feet) when dosed thoughtfully.
Both can look subtle and natural when the plan fits your features and facial movement.
Key differences you might notice
Some patients feel Dysport kicks in a bit faster; BOTOX® Cosmetic has a longer track record and broader FDA approvals.
Dosing units are not interchangeable brand-to-brand; what matters is the outcome, not the unit count.
Cost note: Dysport and BOTOX® Cosmetic are typically comparable in overall cost. Dysport’s price per unit is often lower, but because of how it’s compounded, treatment generally uses more units—so in practical terms, it tends to even out.
