Relfydess vs. Botox: What’s the difference and which to choose?

Relfydess and Botox are both brands of botulinum toxin used for cosmetic treatments, such as reducing wrinkles. However, there are clear differences in how they work, their duration, and their composition. In this article, you will discover what these differences are and which treatment is best suited for you.

What exactly are Relfydess and Botox?

Botox has been the world’s most well-known botulinum toxin brand for years and is produced by Allergan. Relfydess is a newcomer, developed by Galderma, and has recently gained attention for its faster action and longer-lasting effect. Both products work in the same way: they temporarily relax facial muscles, which smooths out wrinkles.

What are the differences between Relfydess and Botox?

Speed of action

Relfydess usually starts working within 2–3 days, whereas Botox typically takes 5–7 days to show visible results.

Duration of effect

Relfydess results can last up to 6 months. Botox generally lasts 3 to 4 months.

Molecular size and composition

Although the exact composition of Relfydess is not fully disclosed, it is believed to have a unique formulation that allows for faster absorption.

Natural-looking results

Both products provide a natural look when administered by an experienced practitioner. Relfydess users often report a subtler, softer effect.

Side effects and safety

Both products are safe and FDA-approved. Side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising are rare and usually resolve quickly.

When to choose Relfydess or Botox

The choice depends on your preferences and situation. Relfydess is ideal if you want faster results and longer-lasting effects. Botox is a proven classic used worldwide. Consulting with a doctor can help you make the right choice.
