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

There is a conversion ration. For instance, if 20 units of Botox is used for the glabellar (frown) area, 50 units of Dysport might be used for the same region and purpose.

Hi, Dysport and Botox units do not equally correspond to each other.  In fact, there is no specific magic ratio of comparing the two.  They are both excellent botulinium toxin neuromuscular regulators, but their units have been established in separate labs using different experiemental animals, etc... 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

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

 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

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.

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.

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

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!

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
