Dysport in the Same Quantity As Botox for the Same Result?

I use both Botox and Dysport interchangeably in my practice. I often encouraged both my patients to use both Botox and Dysport so they feel confident that both treatments work just as effectively. I do notice that Dysport may onset a little faster with the dosing that I use. I also charge the same per region for either product. The makers of Botox and Dysport often have promotions or rebates, and I do which works out best for my patients at that particular visit.As far as dosing goes, Dysport does require more units than Botox. As far as effective pricing per area, it is the same in my practice .

There is a 3:1 ratio in terms of efficacy between the two types of neurotoxins. 300 units of Dysport will equate to 100 units of Botox. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

The number of units required for Dysport is different than the number of units required for Botox. The conversion is usually 2.5-3 Dysport units to 1 Botox unit. The usual amount recommended for Botox at the glabella is 20 units and with Dysport it is 50 units. The cost is very similar despite the unit conversion.
