Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Santa Monica providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.

Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

Both are botulinum toxin type A (same mechanism, same safety profile, same 3–4 month duration). Dysport uses smaller protein molecules, so it tends to kick in faster (2–3 days vs 4–7) and diffuse slightly more from each injection point. That spread makes it a favorite for broader areas like the forehead, and slightly less ideal for tiny precision areas. Many injectors use both, choosing per patient and per area.

Dysport units aren't equivalent to Botox units. Roughly 2.5–3 Dysport units equal 1 Botox unit. A $4/unit Dysport price versus $12/unit Botox often works out to nearly the same total per treatment. Always compare the total cost per area, not per-unit prices.

3–4 months for most people, the same as Botox. Consistent re-treatment can gradually train the muscles, and some long-term users find they can stretch intervals to 4–5 months after a couple of years.

Only if it's over-dosed or poorly placed. That's an injector problem, not a product problem. Modern dosing aims for softened movement, not paralysis. If it's your first appointment, ask for a conservative dose; you can always add more at a 2-week touch-up.

Yes, freely. There's no interaction or build-up problem in switching brands between appointments. Some people find one lasts longer or settles more evenly on their anatomy. It's genuinely individual, and trying both across two cycles is a reasonable way to pick a favorite.

The same exclusions as any botulinum toxin: pregnancy and breastfeeding, certain neuromuscular disorders (myasthenia gravis, ALS), infection at the injection site, and known allergy to the ingredients (Dysport contains trace cow's-milk protein, so mention a dairy protein allergy). A good consult screens all of this.
