How Do Dysport and Botox Formulas Differ in Their Effectiveness on Deep Forehead Wrinkles?

I'm assuming that botox work better on deep deep forehead wrinkles, is this true? Why?

A: Dysport and Botox Effectiveness on Deep Forehead Wrinkles

Which is MORE effective - Botox, Dysport or Xeomin - is similar to which is heavier a pound of lead or a pound of feathers. The EFFECTIVE dosing of Dysport and Botox differs and Botox and Xeomin units are similar. All toxins, when administered in the SAME effective (fresh) doses will perform similarly. It is vastly more important for you to get your Botox / Xeomin from a good Plastic surgeon / Dermatologist than worry about insignificant differences and confusion kicked up by the manufacturers.

Does Dysport Cause Indentions in the Skin After You Have It Done?

I had Dysport done to my forehead a couple of months ago. I actually had to go back because it didn't take in the upper portion of my forehead. I woke up this morning and noticed an indentation on my forehead above my right brow. It looks as if somone pushed on my forehead with their finger and it left a slight concave, an uneveness, a soft spot, compared to the rest of my forehead. Any clue of what might be causing this and what do I need to do?

A: Forehead Concavity months after Dysport

Dysport, Xeomin and Botox are injected with tiny needles through the skin into the muses. Such needles are incapable of the significant subcutaneous fat destruction which would cause collapse of the overlying skin and a Concavity. You may wish to discuss this with your Plastic surgeon or Dermatologist.

How Long for 70 Units of Dysport to Get out of Your System, So That I Can Use Botox?

How long does it take for 70 units of dysport in glabeller region get out of your system, as I am having weird reactions. I also accidentally slept on my glasses a week ago and the nose piece of my glasses made an huge indentation in between my eyebrows and I had lumps all over my forehead. In order to get a more normal look, I had to manually massage each lump to go back to the way it was. Now, I have a huge red lump inbetween my eyebrows, and it hurts. I can't do anything more. Help!

A: NOT a Dysport Reaction

Both Dysport and Botox are from the same family. The reactions you are describing are NOT associated with either Dyport or Botox and are probably related to your glasses and the way you treated the area after that. You should be examined by the person / doctor who injected you with the Dysport to make sure you are not suffering from another condition.
