“Dysport vs Botox - I've had both”
A.B. Normal
Worth It

I had a coupon and a rebate so I went for it! I had a deep line developing in the brow area. Just a little poke here and there, in between the brows and along the brow line, but no big deal. It took a few days for the area to relax, and its very difficult to squeeze my brows together now. The area feels slightly numb, is the best way I can describe it. I go back tomorrow for a follow up 3 weeks after and he will inject more at no cost if necessary. Will post a pic!

About a month after injection and so happy! YAY YAY YAY! Feel much better and forehead is smooth and relaxed, looks like a I got a brow lift - bonus! I didnt do a before pic, didnt think about that! I did do a video journal, so once I figure out how to edit will see how to post it . LOL...

I got another coupon for Botox at a competing center. Four months, in July 2011 after the above Dysport injection, I went to try Botox to see for myself what the difference was. The RN who did the injection said that the effects of the Dysport were gone -
It has been over six months and I can still feel the effects of Botox. In fact, they just started wearing off and I can frown again. For me, they seem pretty comparable, but I guess the Botox did last a bit longer. Could be the amount injected, the concentration or just a person's individual situation.
I went back last week for another Dysport, as I purchased a future injection and was unable to switch. This one seems to be kicking in rather quickly - my forehead is smooth again and I no longer look angry or confused all the time - LOL. Now I keep my anger on the inside, where it belongs... ha ha...

My rating:
Dr R was nice, explained everything and I like that he did the treatment himself (as opposed to leaving after 30 second intro and having a nurse do it, not that I dont like nurses, I love you gals, but just an observation). He did mention some other products that I should buy, like better sunscreen and a night lotion with Vitamin E and something else etc., but I didnt feel forced to buy it. I actually like it too.

Hi Annie,
It's great when you get to try things with coupons. How did your follow up appointment go and how is everything going today? We would love to see pictures. Please keep us updated.
Thanks so much for the review,
-Britt
I also am relieved to not have so much angry look on my face thanks to my brow muscles getting tamed by botox and dysport. I thought the botox lasted longer at first too but now that dysport has been around for a bit, it seems as though the unit recommendation has changed slightly so maybe I wasn't getting enough. Was told it was 2units to every 1botox but after some research, seems less black and white. It's estimated at about 2.5-3units per 1 botox unit but it varies on the individual as everyone processes it differently. I have adjusted the amount I get accordingly and it definitely seems to be at least 2.5. It does have the great advantage of working in about 24 hours too though!
