Cost of Dysport in Seattle
Dysport and Botox are basically the same price. However, 1 unit of botox is between 2.5 to 3 units of dysport, so it is not a one to one dosing. Some clinics are still trying to figure out how to price dysport, but most are trying to keep the pricing about the same as botox.
In Seattle, you will find that the cost for dysport is about $4 to $6 dollars per unit.
If you usually use between 20 to 25 units of botox to treat your "11"s, then you would use about 55 to 65 units of...

Cost of Dysport vs Botox
We've made it simple in our practice and priced Dysport and Botox the same. We've found that some people prefer Dysport over Botox and others prefer Botox over Dysport. It's an individual choice and to not complicate the situation any further, we've priced them equally per area. However, being that Botox came out first in the US, Dysport is offering manufacturer mail in rebates and specials that we pass down to our patients. Visit Dysports main...

Dysport cost in Plano, Texas
We charge $325 for the first syringe of Dysport and $225 for the second syringe. Each syringe is 75 units (equivalent of 30 units of Botox).
Medicis, the manufacturer, usually offers a rebate on the first syringe (currently $50), which may cut the cost to $275 for the first Dysport syringe. (In equivalent Botox units, this corresponds to just over $9 per unit for the first syringe and $7.50 per unit for the second syringe.)

Dysport vs. Botox
The costs per unit of dysport is less than that of Botox, b/c you have to inject more units total, usually a 2.5 to 3 ratio. For example, if you usually get 20 units/area of Botox, you'll be getting 50-60 units of dysport/area. I've used dysport overseas for about 4 years and in the US for a year since it was FDA approved. Its as good or better than botox, and we charge on average $300-400/area.

Dysport and Botox are the same price
While it’s true that the cost per unit of Dysport is less than per unit of Botox, the cost ends up being about the same because you need more Dysport to get the same result you would get with less Botox. That doesn’t mean one is better than the other, just different. I offer both Dysport and Botox, and the cost ends up being about the same.
Also, keep in mind you are not paying for a *product*. You are paying for a *service*, and the cost will vary based on the training,...

Dysport and cost savings when compared to Botox
Dysport typically requires 2.5 times the dosage for the same effect. For example, the glabellar frown wrinkles is 20 units for Botox but 50 units for Dysport. So if you pay 12 dollars per unit for Botox, paying $5 per unit for Dysport is roughly equivalent.
The manufacturers are currently offering rebates to incentivize patients. Dysport can last slightly longer and may therefore require 3 injections a year rather than the common 4 for Botox. This can result in substantial cost savings of...

Dysport and Botox are the same price
Dysport is out now and doing great. Botox and Dysport are the same price in most offices even tho Dysport may last 3-5 months and Botox 3-4 month. Dysport and botox both cost roughly $300 an area which would be crows feet or frown lines or forehead creases.

Dysport price not yet determined
The price has not been announced yet. Of course, Dysport has yet to be approved in the U.S. I am sure I agree with nearly all my colleagues that I hope too that it will be cheaper.

Cost of Dysport
Every practice is a little different in how they charge for Dysport. We currently offer Dysport in our practice at $3.50 per unit and Botox at $10 per unit. However, 1 unit of Botox is about the equivalent of 2.5 units of Dysport. So if you typically receive 20 units of Botox and decide to switch over to Dysport, you'd be looking at around 50 units to achieve the same result. In terms of price, that would put you at $200 for 20 units of Botox versus $175...

What is the Cost of Dysport vs. Botox?
The best thing that has happened since Dysport came to the market has been to create a competitive market for neuromodulators. Before Dysport, Allergan who manufactures Botox would raise the price of a bottle of Botox what seemed like every few months. Those price increases were passed on to patients. Now the cost of Dysport is slightly less than Botox, and in our practice we pass those savings on to our patients. As with any aesthetic treatment, it is most important...

Pricing
It varies. Pricing is based on demographics, the injector and the particular office. To receive the best answer you would need to contact the office you are interested in and discuss options. You could also receive mail-in rebates for Dysport and/or take advantage of individual office discounts.
Hope that helps!

Dysport Costs
In our practice, Dysport is charged by the area to be treated. For the standard area(s) such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet, our prices range from $400 to $450 for the first area, $700 to $750 for two areas and $900 to $950 for three areas. This includes a free touch-up, if needed, at 2-4 weeks. For smaller areas such as an upper lip, prices are usually around $100. Price structure is the same for Botox.

Cost of Dysport
At my office we charge the same for Botox and Dysport. It is figured out based on the equivalent amount of Dysport needed. Dysport may end up cheaper since there have been many rebates including a current $50 rebate for Dysport and $100 back if you have done Botox in the last several months and can prove it. Not a bad deal!

Dysport fees
The fees for Dysport vary greatly from city to city, from doctor to doctor, and from spa to spa. Most patients can expect to pay between $250 to $400 per zone. One zone typically represents one of the following: the frown lines, the forehead, and the Crow's feet. If all three areas are treated, that would be one zone.
Some charge per zone, while some charge per unit. When paying per zone, the consumer does not know how much Dysport he/she is really getting. On average, most...

Dysport versus Botox costs?
In mmy practice in Newport Beach, CA we charge the same fees for Botox as Dysport. Dysport is less expensive to the physician however you use more units for the same results. Dysport does have a tendency to last longer then Botox which may have some savings in the long run if you have less treatments per year. Both the manufacturers of these products often offer rebates so make sure and ask your physician at the time of your consultation what rebates are available. In my practice we run...

Dysport Vs Botox in Cost
Dysport costs about 5-10% less in the US if you assume that 3 units of Dysport is equal to 1 unit of Botox. The exact ratio of effectiveness is not certain but thought to be between 2.5 to 3 units of Dysport being the conversion factor to Botox. Incentives can push the cost balance in Dysport's favor. Look for newer neuromodulators in the upcoming marked to really level the playing field.

Sometimes I offer specials to my patients which will lower the price and of course the company is currently offfering their love it or leave it...

Dysport cost
Dysport in our office costs the same as Botox. While Dysport is a little cheaper for practitioners to offer, not many offices have gone with lower pricing than Botox.
To give you a point of reference, we sell Botox for $12 per unit (as of 1/1/10) and we offer Dysport for $4 per unit. Some practitioners will sell the product by the area rather than the unit, but generally speaking it is more expensive when sold by the area than the unit.

Dysport versus Botox may have a cost savings in some areas
Dysport versus Botox may have a cost savings in some areas. The costs that I have seen for dysport have ranged from about a 5 to 15% savings. I have recently began using the product and the cosmetic effects appear to be similar. Most of us have only recently started using the product; however, it does appear to have a similar duration to Botox and a similar degree of improvement in the areas that are treated.

Cost of Dysport
This will vary by injector experience and the way all injectibles are priced in the office. It made since to charge Botox by unit and so it does for Dysport. Whatever Botox units it took to achieve your results will be different for Dysport. The bottom line will be that to treat the forehead lines it may be 20-100$ cheaper per treatment. For example, a $300 Botox injection may be a $250 Dysport injection to get same results although faster and according to initial studies longer results.

Dysport Pricing
A treatment of Dysport generally ranges from $360 to $400 depending on the amount of correction necessary. Due to the fact that you will need to use more dysport product, botox remains the leader in terms of efficacy and value.

Introductory Dysport pricing available
In my office, the introductory price for Dysport is $300 for 75 units. You need about 3 times the number of units of Dysport as you do of BOTOX Cosmetic to achieve the same effect. So 75 units of Dysport is roughly equivalent to 25 units of Botox.

Less expensive than Botox(r)
The cost of Dysport product is less than the cost of Botox. Be careful because though the per unit cost is less than Botox, Dysport requires more units per area than Botox to obtain the desired results. As with anything, actual cost will vary by market area.
