At Hello Gorgeous Med Spa in Oswego, IL — serving Naperville, Aurora, Plainfield, and the Fox Valley — we offer Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau. All three are FDA-approved neuromodulators that smooth lines and wrinkles. So how do you choose? Your provider will recommend the best option during your consultation, but here’s an FAQ to help you understand the differences and decide with confidence.
Quick Comparison: Botox vs Dysport vs Jeuveau
| Botox | Dysport | Jeuveau | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onset | 3–7 days | 2–3 days (fastest) | 3–5 days |
| Peak results | 10–14 days | 5–7 days | 7–10 days |
| Longevity | 3–4 months | 3–4 months | 3–4 months |
| Spread | Tighter, more localized | Spreads more (good for forehead) | Similar to Botox |
| Units needed | Lower (e.g., 20–40 forehead) | Higher (e.g., 50–80 forehead) | Similar to Botox |
All three use the same active ingredient — botulinum toxin type A — but the formulation, particle size, and dosing differ. There is no "best" — it depends on your anatomy, treatment area, and goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a tiny pinch. We use ultra-fine needles. No numbing required for most people, though we can apply ice or numbing cream if you prefer. The whole treatment usually takes 10–15 minutes.
How long until I see results?
Dysport tends to kick in fastest (2–3 days). Jeuveau and Botox typically show results in 3–7 days, with full effect at 10–14 days. We’ll discuss timeline during your consultation.
Will I look frozen?
No. Our goal is natural movement—relaxed lines without losing expression. We use precise dosing and placement. You’ll look refreshed, not frozen.
How much does it cost in Oswego?
At Hello Gorgeous, Botox is $10/unit. Dysport and Jeuveau are priced per unit as well; we’ll quote you at your consultation. Most forehead treatments range from 20–40 units of Botox (or the equivalent in Dysport/Jeuveau). Use our Botox Calculator for an estimate.
Can I switch between Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau?
Yes. Some clients prefer one brand; others switch based on availability or what their provider recommends. We’ll help you choose at each visit.
What areas can you treat?
Forehead lines, frown lines (11s), crow’s feet, bunny lines, lip flip, and more. We treat each area with the product that works best for you.
We Offer All Three — You Decide With Your Provider
You don’t have to choose alone. At your free consultation, our NP will assess your face, discuss your goals, and recommend Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau based on what’s best for you. We have no incentive to push one over another—we want the result you love.
