What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport are injectable treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles—those caused by expressions like frowning or squinting. Both use botulinum toxin type A to block nerve signals, reducing muscle activity and softening lines. At Belén Aesthetics, we use these FDA-approved treatments to target areas like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and glabellar lines (between the brows), delivering results that last 3-4 months.
Our expert providers, with 8+ years of injection experience, customize each session to enhance your natural beauty, ensuring you look like you—just refreshed. Curious about which neuromodulator suits your goals? Let’s dive into the Botox vs. Dysport debate!
Botox vs. Dysport: Key Differences
While Botox and Dysport are similar, they differ in formulation, spread, onset, and ideal uses. Here’s a detailed comparison to guide your choice at our Centennial medspa:
1. Formulation and Spread
Botox: Made by Allergan, Botox has a heavier molecular structure, allowing precise targeting of smaller areas like crow’s feet. It spreads less, making it ideal for focused wrinkle reduction.
Dysport: Produced by Galderma, Dysport has a lighter structure and spreads more, which suits larger areas like the forehead. Its diffusion can create a softer, more natural look for some clients.
2. Onset of Results
Botox: Results typically appear in 5-7 days, with full effects by 10-14 days.
Dysport: Kicks in faster, often within 2-4 days, appealing to those seeking quicker results.
3. Duration
Both last 3-4 months on average, though some Centennial clients report Dysport fading slightly sooner in high-movement areas. Maintenance sessions are key for lasting results.
4. Units and Dosing
Botox: Measured in units; 20-30 units are common for forehead lines.
Dysport: Requires roughly 2.5-3 times more units than Botox for equivalent effects (e.g., 50-75 units for forehead). Our providers adjust dosing for precision.
5. Ideal Uses
Botox: Best for small, targeted areas (e.g., crow’s feet, lip lines) or clients wanting a “frozen” look.
Dysport: Great for broader areas (e.g., forehead, neck bands) or those preferring a softer, natural effect.
A 2024 study in Dermatologic Surgery found both neuromodulators equally effective for wrinkle reduction, with patient preference often tied to onset speed or aesthetic goals. At Belén Aesthetics, we assess your skin during our Skin Edit consultation to recommend the best option.
Why Neuromodulators Are a 2025 Anti-Aging Staple
In 2025, non-invasive treatments like Botox and Dysport remain top choices for anti-aging, especially in Centennial and Denver, where clients value quick, natural results. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, neuromodulator injections rose 8% in 2024, driven by demand for preventative anti-aging among younger adults (20s-30s). Their minimal downtime (virtually none) and 15-30 minute sessions fit busy lifestyles, making them a go-to for professionals in Cherry Hills or Greenwood Village.
At Belén Aesthetics, we enhance neuromodulator results by pairing them with treatments like microneedling for collagen or Moxi laser for texture, creating a comprehensive glow. Want to explore combinations? Schedule your consultation to craft your plan!

Botox and Dysport vs. Other Treatments
How do neuromodulators compare to other Belén Aesthetics offerings?
Neuromodulators vs. Dermal Fillers: Fillers like hyaluronic acid or EZ Gel add volume (e.g., cheeks, lips), while Botox/Dysport smooth dynamic wrinkles. Many clients combine them for a full-face refresh.
Neuromodulators vs. Microneedling: Microneedling boosts collagen for texture and scars, while neuromodulators target expression lines. Pair them for comprehensive anti-aging.
Neuromodulators vs. Moxi Laser: Moxi improves tone and texture, while Botox/Dysport focuses on wrinkles. A combo plan enhances overall radiance.
