Should I Have BOTOX® , Dysport™, or Jeuveau® ?

Not sure how to choose between BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau™ at our Madison, WI practice? You’re not alone. Many of our patients at Radiance Skin Therapy and Laser Center have the same question. While these injectables all work by relaxing facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles, they aren’t exactly the same. Understanding their subtle differences can help you make an informed decision.

Choosing the right neuromodulator is personal, and our team is here to guide you based on your goals, preferences, and lifestyle. Here's a breakdown of each option:

BOTOX®: BOTOX® is the most widely recognized and researched neuromodulator with a long-standing reputation for safety and consistent results. It’s often a great starting point for first-time users and anyone seeking predictable, well-documented outcomes. The onset of results typically takes 4 to 7 days, and the full effect around 10 to 14 days. Results generally last about 3 to 4 months, though this can vary depending on the treatment area and individual metabolism.

Dysport®: Dysport® has a unique formulation that allows it to diffuse more broadly, making it ideal for larger treatment areas like the forehead. It may also have a slightly quicker onset than BOTOX®, with some patients noticing improvement as early as 2 to 3 days post-treatment. Many find that Dysport® delivers a softer, more natural-looking result, especially when treating wider areas.

Jeuveau™: Jeuveau™, often called “Newtox,” is the newest of the three and is formulated specifically for cosmetic use. It has a similar structure to BOTOX® and delivers comparable results for most patients. While some believe it may have a slightly faster onset due to its manufacturing process, clinical differences are typically minimal. Jeuveau™ is a great choice for those focused on aesthetic outcomes and wanting a modern alternative to traditional neuromodulators.

Duration & Results: All three neuromodulators generally offer results that last 3 to 4 months, though individual experiences vary. Some patients find that one product works better for their anatomy or lasts longer for them personally. In addition, the skill and technique of your injector play a significant role in both the quality and longevity of your results. Precise placement, appropriate dosing, and a personalized approach can make a noticeable difference in how natural your outcome looks and how long it lasts. Your injector can help determine which option and approach best suit your needs.

Who’s a Good Candidate? If you're in good overall health and concerned about expression lines such as crow’s feet, forehead creases, or frown lines, you’re likely a candidate for any of these treatments. BOTOX® may be ideal if you prefer time-tested results; Dysport® might suit those wanting broader coverage and quicker onset; and Jeuveau™ is perfect for patients prioritizing cosmetic refinement.

Still Unsure? These products are more alike than different, and most patients tolerate all of them well. At Radiance Skin Therapy, we may recommend a particular neuromodulator based on your treatment goals, past response, or even current promotions. If you’re unsure where to start, schedule a consultation with our experienced injectors. We’ll work with you to choose the best option for natural, effective, and confidence-boosting results.
