Dysport (and Botox) can be used to treat multiple areas the same day: Watch for pricing issues.

It is perfectly appropriate for a physician to treat multiple facial areas with Dysport or Botox on the same treatment day, but be careful how you are charged. Some physicians charge by "area" no matter how little you need, and some charge by unit. Per unit charges are more easily tracked and more easily proven fair. If you are being charged by area, ask if there is a discount for multiple areas being treated on the same day. There may not be, but it doesn't hurt to ask! more

Dysport treatment

Greetings~ You can have multiple areas treated during one session or office visit. Most patients do a few areas at once. (for example: Crows feet, Glabella (between the brows), and Forehead) Some offices charge by the unit, so you pay for the amount injected regardless of where the Dysport is placed. Other offices charge by the area or for a standard amount. If they charge for a standard amount, it is up to you where you want the Dysport but if you put inadequate... more

Dysport - Could One Treatment of Dysport Be Used on Several Different Areas of the Face?

Botox and Dysport By now, everyone has heard of Botox but there is a lot to discuss and, despite its popularity, there are still some misconceptions about what it does - and what it doesn’t do. Both Botox (Allergan) and Dysport (Medicis) are formulations of Botulinum toxin A, a preparation which was found serendipitously to be highly effective in diminishing the appearance of lines on the face and neck. In fact, Botox and Dysport are among the most remarkable treatments... more

Different treatment areas for Dysport

Yes. Several different areas can be treated at the same time using Dysport. Like Botox, Dysport works by weakening the muscles that cause certain wrinkles. The mos popular area are the frown lines, forehead and crow's feet areas. Bunny lines on the nose and near the corners of the mouth are other areas that are sometime treated. Dysport and Botox are so popular because they work so well, are affordable and have very little risk. Beware of offers too good to be true. These medicines can be... more

Dysport may be used in multiple areas during one treatment

Dysport is used similar to Botox and is used in multiple locations. Most physicians charge per unit vs. per area. The most common areas requested are the frown lines or glabella area, the lines on the forehead and the crows feet or area around the eyes.

When using Botox the question is not whether one "treatment" is enough but how many units are needed for the desired effect

When using Botox the question is not whether one treatment is enough but how many units are needed for the desired effect. I am aware of practices that charge a set price for Botox treatment. However, every patient has different anatomy and different goals for their treatment. Therefore, the important measure is how many units your injector suggests will give you the desired result. This is the reason why many practices charge for Botox by the unit. In many cases it will save you money if... more

Dysport and Botox are typically used on the upper third of the face

Most patients choose to relax the lines between the eyebrows, also known as the "glabella". Others treat the crow's feet around the eyes or the lines on the forehead. You want to be sure to see a board certified Dermatologist to discuss your unique facial lines to determine which areas would look best treated. More than one area can be treated at the same time. Best of luck to you.

Dysport can be used for several areas of the face

Since Dysport works the same way as Botox, it can be used in the same areas, which are typically where there are wrinkles caused by hyperactive muscles of expression. This is usually the upper face, sucha s the furrows between the eyebrows, and "crow's feet" around the eyes.

Treating multiple areas with Dysport

Multiple areas of the face can be treated at the same time with either Dysport or Botox (or both). Hopefully the injecting physician will be charging based on the number of units injected so you will know exactly how much you are getting.

Yes, can use dysport in several areas

Dysport can be used in several areas of the face in "one treatment". However, not to be confused with a doctor that says that they have a price for treating"one area". When this is stated it is usually a pricing issue. If you see someone that charges per unit this will not be an issue and they will inject you wherever needed at same visit.

I think this very much depends on how your doctor defines a treatment.

Dysport is reconstituted as a solution. In a given treatment session, any number of areas might be treated. Note that not all facial issues can be treated with botulinum toxin. Dysport like BOTOX is excellent for periocular issues. The lower face is much better addressed with fillers treatments like Restylane.

Dysport can treat multiple areas on your face

Dysport is a medication that is injected. Any time you get the medication it is called a treatment. The doctor can inject the medication in any location that you would like, as long as the doctor agrees that it would be safe for you.
