Colorado’s climate has a way of showing up on your skin. Between high altitude, dry air, and nearly year-round sunshine, moisture is in short supply, and wrinkles can appear sooner and settle deeper. That’s why so many patients in the Denver area turn to wrinkle treatment options like Botox and Dysport. Both are tried-and-true neurotoxin injections made from botulinum toxin type A, both are FDA approved, and both are considered among the most popular treatments in aesthetic medicine.
But when it comes to forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines, which one actually delivers the best results for Colorado’s dry climate?
Our team here at Rejuvenate MedSpa has put together a detailed comparison that includes how each product works, what makes them different, and how we help you choose the best option for your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
In Colorado’s high, dry climate, skin health faces unique challenges. Low humidity depletes moisture, which can make fine lines and wrinkles more visible and deepen the look of existing creases. Sun exposure at high altitude only compounds the problem, accelerating collagen breakdown and skin dehydration.
That’s where precise targeting becomes crucial. For most clients, treatments like Botox injections and Dysport injections are for more than reducing lines, they also maintain skin integrity and hydration in an environment that constantly works against both. Freezing your expression isn't the idea. We want to restore balance and help your skin appear smoother, more supple, and naturally refreshed.
At their core, both Botox and Dysport are designed to do the same thing: relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, those lines that form from years of smiling, frowning, squinting, or raising your brows.
These treatments use a purified form of botulinum toxin to temporarily block the nerve signals that tell those muscles to contract. By gently pausing that muscle movement, the skin above has a chance to smooth out. It’s like pressing pause on the repetitive motions that cause wrinkles to form in the first place.
While both belong to the same family of botulinum toxin type A, they behave just a little differently once injected, and those differences can matter depending on your skin type, hydration levels, and lifestyle.
Botox is the typical go-to for patients looking for precise, controlled results. It uses botulinum toxin type A to relax specific muscles that cause wrinkles in the upper face, most commonly forehead lines, glabellar lines (between the brows), and crow’s feet around the eyes.
What makes Botox stand out from Dysport is its slightly larger protein structure, which allows it to stay very localized in targeted areas. That makes it ideal for smaller areas where detailed work and accuracy are key — think lip lines or subtle brow lifts.
Because it stays put, Botox gives your injector incredible control. At Rejuvenate MedSpa, our providers use ultra fine needles to deliver the product exactly where it’s needed, ensuring natural looking results and balanced expression. You’ll look like a smoother, more rested, and refreshed version of yourself.
Dysport, on the other hand, spreads slightly more easily beneath the skin. That’s due to its smaller protein molecules, which allow for wider diffusion once injected. This makes Dysport a smart choice for larger treatment areas like the forehead or for patients with broader muscle movement.
Because Dysport spreads more efficiently, it’s sometimes considered the faster acting of the two, with results starting to become visible in just a couple of days. Some patients also notice slightly softer transitions between treated and untreated areas, giving the skin a seamlessly smooth finish — an advantage for those worried about harsh or “frozen” results.
In other words: Botox offers pinpoint precision; Dysport delivers effortless blending. Both deliver noticeable improvements, but each has its strengths depending on the treatment area and your personal preferences. Many patients opt to try out a treatment with each brand to see if they prefer one result over the other.
Here’s where the key differences between the two start to matter.
Despite their subtle differences, both are effective treatments for smoothing lines and wrinkles and achieving a youthful appearance without surgery.
Living in Colorado means dealing with more than altitude. It’s also managing dryness, sun exposure, and fluctuating temperatures that can affect your skin. Choosing between Botox or Dysport often depends on where you need treatment and how your skin responds to the dry environment.
If your main concerns are frown lines, crow’s feet, or small, delicate injection sites, Botox might be your better match. It offers control and precision where even a single unit can make a big difference.
If you’re hoping to treat larger treatment areas or high movement areas like the forehead, Dysport may be the practical option. Its ability to spread means fewer injections, a smoother transition across muscles, and a softer finish overall.
At Rejuvenate MedSpa, we know that every face is unique, and our expert providers personalize your treatment plan to your skin type, specific needs, and aesthetic goals.
Whether you choose Botox or Dysport, the process is simple and comfortable. During your appointment, your provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and mark the targeted areas for treatment. Using ultra fine needles, they’ll deliver precise doses of botulinum toxin type A to relax specific muscles without affecting surrounding ones.
The procedure takes just minutes, and there’s minimal downtime. You may notice mild redness or swelling at the injection site, but that fades within hours. Most patients return to work or daily activities immediately after treatment.
At Rejuvenate MedSpa, personalized care is our top priority. We check in with patients after their treatment to make sure results develop as expected and that the balance between treated and untreated areas looks natural. Natural results come from balance. It’s about treating the right specific muscles with the right amount of product. Too little, and wrinkles persist; too much, and the face loses expression.
Our injectors rely on an understanding of facial anatomy, artistry, and restraint. Each treatment — whether Botox or Dysport — is customized to your bone structure, skin thickness, and movement patterns. It’s this combination of precision and personalized care that delivers the optimal results our patients love.
Both Botox and Dysport begin showing visible results within the first week. Dysport results may appear slightly sooner for some patients, while Botox results tend to develop a few days later.
Full results are typically seen by two weeks, when the treated muscles have fully relaxed and facial wrinkles appear smoother. The youthful appearance you achieve lasts about three to four months before gradual muscle movement returns.
Because Colorado’s dry climate can affect your skin health and collagen production, pairing your neurotoxin treatment with hydrating skincare solutions — such as hyaluronic acid serums or professional facials — helps you maintain optimal results. Many of our patients also schedule repeated treatments every few months to maintain a consistent, natural look.
Hydration plays a big role in how your skin responds to treatment. In a dry climate, dynamic wrinkles may appear deeper because dehydrated skin lacks elasticity. By reducing muscle movement underneath those wrinkles, both Botox and Dysport allow your skin to rest and rebuild strength.
With consistent treatment, you’ll not only see smoother lines but notice long-term improvements in texture, firmness, and hydration retention. The goal isn’t to erase every line — it’s to support skin health while keeping expression natural.
Our team often combines neurotoxin injections with other treatments like dermal fillers or microneedling for a well-rounded approach to anti-aging. These complementary services enhance collagen production and skin hydration, helping your results last longer in Colorado’s demanding climate.
So, which is better for your wrinkles in Colorado’s dry climate? The truth is, both can work beautifully when used correctly. Botox offers unmatched control for small, targeted areas and precise targeting. Dysport excels in larger treatment areas with a softer diffusion and faster onset.
The best choice comes down to your goals, your skin, and your injector. At Rejuvenate MedSpa, our team takes time to understand what you want to achieve, assess your skin health, and tailor your wrinkle treatment accordingly.
In the end, it’s not about which product is better, it’s about what helps you feel your best.
