If you have had Dysport or Botox injected and the result is suboptimal, if it has been overdone -- you may have to wait until it wears off. If the result is awkward or less than desirable, see a qualified plastic surgeon and theycan help improve the result.
I recommend that you wait at least two weeks to see the full results from Dysport. If at that time, you still do not see results, then it is fine to use Botox.
I would wait until the Dysport effect is gone before you add Botox as it might confuse the issue if you don’t get a good result. If there is Botox and Dysport in the same area it would be hard to judge the effectiveness. It is possible that your physician just needs to adjust the dose of Dysport and give you a few more units here or there. It is a very similar product to Botox.
You do not have to wait to switch between the two. As long as you feel you can still move those muscles after Dysport for about 2 weeks, then you can try Botox and vice versa.Regards
Wait at least 2 weeks to see the full results from Dysport. If not satisfactory after two weeks, you may proceed with Botox.
Liz,Are you not happy with the effect, or are you not happy because there is NO effect? There is a difference. If there is no effect, then you can return to Botox after 2 weeks. If you have an effect, but you just don't like it, then you must wait until the Dysport wears off before returning to Botox. Good luck!
I really don't think there is much difference between Dysport and Botox. However, it will take some time for all physicians to get used to the Dysport. If your wrinkles have returned since the injection of Dysport then there's no reason why you can't get Botox. There's no time limit between injections.
Dysport is a great product but works a bit differently than Botox. It is a quicker onset, may cause a bit more dicomfort when injected, and may or may not last as long as Botox. As for being unhappy with the dysport, you should wait a few weeks after treatment. If you are unhappy and need more, than get Botox at that point.
The short answer is to wait the two weeks for the neurotoxin's full effect. You can then switch back to Botox. You might want to talk to your doctor about the dose used, and if, perhaps, you were under-dosed. As doctors use this new neuromuscular modulator, there will be a learning curve. Dysport is not substantially different from Botox. I assume you were unhappy with Botox or you would not have switched to the Dysport. Perhaps your best option is to consider totally different options such as filler, laser, or surgery to achieve the results your are seeking. Good luck.
As the others have noted, if you are unhappy with the results of Dysport at this time (if it has been at least 1-2 weeks since the injection to allow the treatment to take full effect), you can safely receive Botox.Good luck.
