If you’re thinking about smoothing out a few fine lines but aren’t quite sure whether to pick Jeuveau or Dysport, you’re not alone. With so many wrinkle-relaxing options out there, choosing the right one can feel a little like flipping a coin. (Heads: smoother forehead. Tails: smoother forehead.)
At Avail Aesthetics, serving Raleigh, Asheville, Cary, and Wake Forest, NC, we’re here to cut through the noise and help you figure out which neurotoxin might be your perfect match.
Spoiler alert: there’s no bad choice—but there is a best choice for you.
First Things First: What’s a Neurotoxin, Anyway?
Let’s clear up the buzzwords. Both Jeuveau and Dysport are forms of botulinum toxin type A. Their job is simple: temporarily relax specific muscles that cause wrinkles, smoothing the skin and softening expressions.
When injected carefully (like we do at Avail Aesthetics), these treatments don’t freeze your face—they just ease it. You’ll still look like you, just a little more rested, a little less crinkly.
So what’s the real difference between Jeuveau and Dysport? Let’s dive into the details.
Jeuveau: The “Newtox” on the Block
Jeuveau, affectionately nicknamed “Newtox,” is the newer kid in town, approved by the FDA in 2019 specifically for aesthetic use. That’s right—it’s designed purely for looks. No medical treatment history, just straight-up wrinkle-smoothing business.
What Makes Jeuveau Special:
- Purely cosmetic focus (not used for medical issues like migraines or spasms)
- Tends to be a little more budget-friendly than some other neurotoxins
- Developed with a unique purification process for a “softer” touch
- Results often kick in around 3–5 days after treatment
Best For:
- Smoothing moderate to severe frown lines (those stubborn “11s” between your brows)
- Clients wanting fast, effective wrinkle softening without a heavy look
Jeuveau in Raleigh, Asheville, Cary, and Wake Forest, NC at Avail Aesthetics is a favorite among our younger clients and those trying neurotoxins for the first time. It’s a gentle yet powerful entry into the world of smoother skin.
Dysport: The Quick-Spreading Pro
Dysport isn’t exactly the new kid—it’s been FDA-approved for both medical and aesthetic uses for years. Known for its slightly different formulation, Dysport spreads more easily under the skin, which can be a huge advantage depending on where and how it’s injected.
What Makes Dysport Stand Out:
- Quicker onset for some (think 2–3 days)
- A softer, more diffused result (perfect for broader areas)
- Particularly effective for larger treatment zones like the forehead
Best For:
- Clients with moderate to severe forehead lines or frown lines
- People who want a natural look without looking “overdone”
- Those who need a faster onset for an upcoming event
Dysport in Raleigh, Asheville, Cary, and Wake Forest, NC at Avail Aesthetics is popular with those wanting quicker smoothing across broader areas without the “frozen face” effect.

How to Choose Between Jeuveau and Dysport
Here’s the secret: it’s less about the product and more about your goals, your anatomy, and your injector’s expertise. (Lucky for you, Avail Aesthetics has some of the best in the business.)
Ask yourself:
- Are you mainly concerned with small, targeted areas like the glabella? Jeuveau might be your girl.
- Want a broad smoothing effect across the forehead or around the eyes? Dysport could be your best bet.
- Need results quickly for an event? Dysport typically shows faster.
- Prefer the newest, most aesthetic-focused formulation? Jeuveau has your name on it.
And if you’re still scratching your head, don’t stress. That’s what consultations are for—we’ll map out the best plan for your features and your lifestyle.
Myths You Can Officially Ignore
“All neurotoxins are basically the same.”
Not quite. They’re similar, but their subtle differences in spread, onset, and feel matter more than you think.
“If I start Botox or Dysport or Jeuveau young, I’ll need it forever.”
Starting preventative neurotoxins in your late 20s or early 30s can actually reduce how much you need over time. Prevention > correction.
“You won’t be able to move your face.”
Only if it’s overdone—and at Avail Aesthetics, we’re about fresh, expressive, natural results.
FAQs: Jeuveau vs. Dysport Edition
Typically around 3–4 months for both Jeuveau and Dysport. Some people get a little longer, especially after repeat treatments.
Absolutely. Some clients try both and eventually pick a favorite based on how their body responds.
Not stronger—just different. Dysport spreads a bit more, Jeuveau stays a little more precise.
That depends on your muscle strength, treatment areas, and goals. We customize the dosage for every client during your consultation.
Minimal discomfort. We use tiny needles and offer numbing options to make it quick and easy.
