Dysport

Both Dysport and Botox yield very similar results. The main difference is the amount of units that are used. You will have to use about 2.5 times as many units of Dysport as you would for Botox.

Dysport/Botox - 95 Units of Dysport - Too Much?

It is difficult to answer this without being able to see your before photos, and to know what you were hoping to achieve. In general, though, the conversion ratio of Dysport to Botox is about 2.5; i.e., you use about 2.5 times as many units of Dysport as you would for Botox. For the glabellar region (between the eyebrows) it is typically about 20-40 units of Botox (depending on the size of the muscles and the extent of the lines) and so 95 units is at the upper end of that range... more

Proper evaluation is key to estimating units of Dysport

A proper cosmetic consultation, in person, is key to successful outcomes.  The area of treatment, and the "mass" of the muscle groups to be treated determine the estimated amount of Dysport necessary to achieve pleasing results.  Lifting the eyebrows can involve relaxation of at least 4 different muscle groups.  This may require treatment in between the eyebrows and around the lateral eyebrow.

95 units of Dysport may be appropriate

Without evaluating you, I cannot advise you about the appropriate number of units but 95 units sounds like a reasonable dose to treat the forehead and eyebrows.  It takes about 3 times as much Dysport to treat someone as compared to Botox.

Dysport~ 95 Units

Without seeing you in person it's difficult to say for sure what the proper dose of Dysport would be to achieve the result you want. To arch the brows it may require injections to the areas between the brows, the lateral (outside edge) of the brow, and/or the forehead itself. 95 units, generally speaking, for what you are talking about does not sound excessive though it might sound like it. Just make sure you see an experienced injector and if you have any... more

Dysport dosing

Dysport is dosed in a 3:1 ratio versus botox.  Therefore, your dose seems to be appropriate.  Make sure you are seeing a board - certified plastic surgeon.

Dysport and Botox

Using both Botox and Dysport, I agree with prior comments that the physician typically must use 3 units of Dysport to achieve the same effect as 1 unit of Botox.  Therefore, your dose of 95 units of Dysport is approximately similar to 32 units of Botox which is a low dose.  That being said, I also agree completely that the proper dosage for you depends on the physician's examination of you, the degree & location of the brow ptosis.   Typically, we start with... more

Botox VS Dysport

Botox and Dysport are not the same. The molecules are totally different. The dose of dysport is said to be about 3 time that od Botox.. However the site of injection is totally different and the dose should realy be titrated to the individual patient.

Dysport doses are higher than Botox

Dysport is used like Botox but in doses 2 to 3 times higher for the same effect.  95 units would be about the same as 30 to 35 units of Botox.  This amount is commonly used to give a "Botox Brow Lift"  or in this case a "Dysport Brow Lift".   This dosing should work very well.
