Do certain areas of the face respond better to Dysport because of differences in the concentration of Dysport compared to Botox?
Dysport and Botox are both neuromodulators and have similar chemical structure. However, they are different medications, which require different dosages to achieve similar clinical or cosmetic results. Generally, 3 units of Dysport has the same effect on the face as 1 unit of Botox. Your plastic surgeon or dermatologist will dose each treatment accordingly.
Best of luck.
Recently a plastic surgeon injected 100 Dysport into my forehead and .05 of Restylane into my nasio folds, corners of mouth, and line under chin. I saw NO results with Radiesse. Very little results with Dysport, which is odd because in the past I had better results with less than 75 injected - and in the past my forehead felt heavy afterwards, but not this time. I went back to the doc and he said that I would NEVER be able to get rid of my fine lines with fillers. Is he correct? I am 36.
Hi LWSKLSX in Cleveland, OH,
Correct. Generally, fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin a better treated with skin resurfacing such as laser treatment, chemical peels, tretinoin, and skin care. Dermal filler injections are better for deeper folds and wrinkles, such as the nasolabial fold. Some fillers, such as Radiesse and Sculptra, are injected deep to rebuild facial volume, rather than fill superficial wrinkles.
Botox Cosmetic and Dysport of better for the active or dynamic wrinkles. However, these neuromodulators (Botox Cosmetic and Dysport) may soften the fine wrinkles gradually over time and repeated treatments. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

I had Dysport injections done for crow's feet, I think 3 units on either side. It has given me slightly puffy eyes when my face is at rest and big eye bags when I smile or laugh, it looks awful! I'm so upset, I have an appt. with the provider to show her these terrible results, I think she was careless, gave me too much or it spread to areas it shouldn't. Can anything be done to diminish the effects of Dysport? Can fillers like Restylane help plump up the deep creases I now get when I smile?
Hi Phoenix3554,
Unfortunately, both Dysport and Botox cannot be reversed, unlike some other facial injections. After a few months the effects of these wrinkle reducers will slowly fade. Occasionally, touch-ups of more Dysport or Botox can improve the facial appearance after the initial treatment. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a cosmetic provider help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
