Difference between Dysport and Botox
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 Units and Botox Units Are Not the Same
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.
The ratios that are often quoted are 1 unit of Botox Cosmetic is "equivalent" to 2.5 to 3 units of Dysport. These are estimates for physicians to be able to approximate how much...

How many units of Dysport for a unit of Botox?
We treat dysport as a different neuromodulator than Botox, but if you want to compare units the ratio is somewhere between 2.5:1 to 3:1. In other words, if you're used to getting 20 units of Botox for your frown lines and 20 for your crows feet, you'll need about 100-120 units of Dysport to achieve the same results. Don't get too caught up in units and price/unit. The point is to achieve the results you want with the least amount of injections.

A unit is not a unit when it comes to Botox and Dysport
Dysport is new in the US, Botox is not. Because it is new it is probably a wise idea to have someone who is very experienced with Botox to give you the best result. You don't want to be a guinea pig to someone who has little Botox experince and next to no Dysport experience. As a Botox provider I am in the top 1% in the country so our office had no difficulty making that transition to using Dysport. Be careful and Good Luck!

Dysport and Botox dosing are not equivalent
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, it last longer than Botox, whereas in other patients, it doesn't last as long.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Units of Dysport and Botox are not the same
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 your results will help the doctor titrate the best dose for you.

Dysport compared to Botox
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.

Dysport versus Botox
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.

The units are different for each one
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 , strength and group.

No, never
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 and any potential adverse events at consult. A ballpark conversion is 2-3 units of Dysport gives a similar effect as 1 unit of Botox, but we doctors really need to start to speak and think now...

Botox and Dysport
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 unit dilution , if either are administered according to recommended guidelines your results should be relatively the same.
