Dermal fillers are injected into lines and wrinkles to fill them out. The dermal filler then remains in the skin for a number of months. How long is determined by the drug in question, where it's injected and other factors. Generally they last around 6 months.

Both are often used for plumping the lips and filling lines and wrinkles. Both last up to 9 months between injections and are made of hyaluronic acid. While there are some differences (such as molecule size and consistency) the decision as to which ought to be used should be made by your doctor. They can evaluate your case and make the determination based on your goals and needs.

Botox and Dysport and both made from the same neurotoxic protein (Clostridium botulinim toxin type A) and do the same thing, treat wrinkles and lines of movement. These dynamic wrinkles have been shown to be effectively treated with both Botox & Dysport. Some research indicates Dysport may last a bit longer than Botox, and that it may also spread farther from the injection site. Ulltimately they are very similar and which is right for you should be discussed with your doctor during your consultation.
