Which Injectable is Best for Lip Flip: Botox or Dysport?

When it comes to achieving a lip flip, two of the most popular injectables are Botox and Dysport. Both are used to relax the muscles around the upper lip, allowing it to curl out and create a fuller and more defined appearance. But which one is better?Dysport is the trade name for botulinum toxin type A called AbobotulinumToxin (ABO). It can contain 300 or 500 units of ABO and is diluted to create variable effects.

It works by relaxing the muscles in the face around the injection site, limiting the movement of facial muscles to prevent facial lines and wrinkles from developing or deepening. Dysport lip somersaults can be expected to last between three and four months. Botox is also a type A botulinum toxin, called OnabotulinumToxin (ONA). It contains 50 to 200 units of ONA and is diluted by the manufacturer for cosmetic use. Botox works by blocking chemical signals that trigger contractions in the facial muscles.

This temporary relaxing effect is the key to the magic of Botox for smoothing wrinkles and turning lips. Botox lip somersaults can last up to six months. If you're looking for fast results, Dysport is the best option as it's more likely to take effect within a few days. However, if you want longer-lasting results, Botox may be a better choice. Your healthcare provider will discuss which option is best for you based on your medical history, needs and wants. For injection-averse patients, this difference could tip the scale toward Botox for their next round of lips.

Both Botox and Dysport are excellent for achieving the lips of your dreams through a lip change. If you're concerned about pain or are afraid of needles (aichmophobia), ask your healthcare provider if they will apply a numbing cream (topical anesthetic) or an injection of nerve blocker to your lips to make them numb.
