Dysport vs Botox

David Goldberg, MD answers: Dysport for contouring lower face?

Can Dysport be used to contour the lower face? If so, how many units is effective? Is it safe to get a touch-up 3 days later if there is no effect with the first dosage?

Dysport and Botox are the two FDA-approved botulinum toxin treatments in the US. Both of them can soften excess muscle tone in a variety of areas on the skin. However, to determine if you are an appropriate candidate you must see a qualified physician who will make this decision. A touch-up performed at 3 days is clearly too early.
