Dysport in the same quantity as Botox for the same result?

It is probably better not to compare the products but to think of them each individually and dose them accordingly.  The more experience the injector has with dysport the more comfortable they will be in dosing this product. 

Hi,   Although Botox and Dysport are both highly effective products, they are not equivalent.  The correct ratio of Dysport units to Botox units is somewhere between 2.5:1 and 3:1; it varies depending on the thickness of the facial muscles.  Dysport's onset of action is faster; in some patients,... more

No. Dysport has a different treatment regimen. Most patients should expect MORE than a two-fold increase in Dysport units to match the Botox effectiveness. Even a three fold difference might be used. Your physician will determine what is best for your skin. This may occur over several treatment sessions as... more

The answer is 'no.'  The recommended doseage of Dysport to the glabellar area is 10 units per area treated and 2.5 for Botox.  Just be sure that you're getting the right amount in the areas that you want.  Check out some before and after photos before any procedures.  Good luck!

Dysport??? The dose is not the same- however the charges for the treatment may be the same! The reports of the performance of Dysport are good. It is long lasting. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD

Abdolutely not. You should require about 2.5 times the dose. For example 10 units of Botox is roughly equivalent to 25 units of Dysport. 20 Units of Botox compares with 50 units of Dysport. There may be some differences in length of time to onset, longevity of results, and diffusion patterns once injected.

Both dysport and botox are good products for muscle denervation.  I find that dysport is injected in a 3:1 ratio as compared to Botox.  Patients seem to complain about more pain with injection. It does have a quicker onset but it may not last as long.

 Dysport comes in 300 units in a vial and botox comes 100 units/vial. The most common dose for the Botox is 20 units/area and for the Dysport about 60 units/area.  This will vary from patient to patient (220 lb man v.s 120 ld female ). The amount of units also vary for different muscle mass ,... more

Dysport and Botox are two different neuromodulating drugs to improve the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (those from movement of muscles). The dosage of one should not  be translated into the dosage for the other. Your dermatologist or plastic surgeon will discuss the differences, the expected results... more

These are two products that are competing for the same market share. When properly administered by a qualified surgeon, the end results should be basically the same and very good. However, the products themselves are different chemically and thus require a different dilution and unit measure. Regardless of the... more
