Answer: Neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport actually have an identical active molecule, which is botulinum toxin A. This molecule irreversibly binds to the end of the nerve and prevents the nerve from sending an impulse to the muscle to make it contract. The nerve simply grows a new end plate and this is how the effect wears off. Botox and Dysport, therefore, should have very similar longevities and in most patients this longevity is around three to four months.
