Could you please advise what the dilution rate is for botox and dysport. I have asked my injectionist to give me the minimum dilution of dysport and she said that if she does that for everyone it would mean that she would use more product and loose money. I found that botox is way better being condensed and precise to dysport being diluted and spreading to areas not needed. Causing drooping.. i have gone back to botox and have noticed a much much better result.
Answer: Dilution of Muscle Relaxant Products Hi nearly50, and thanks for your question! All forms of chemical muscle relaxant require dilution with sterile saline (salt water) prior to use. The dilution ratio chosen by the injector should (in general) be guided by the manufacturer guidelines, with optimal dilution differing depending on the type of treatment being undertaken. Regardless of the dilution ratio chosen, a competent practitioner should decide on a dose based on the ideal amount of active product to deliver into a specific treatment area. This means that the dilution ratio should not affect the amount of product used and cost of treatment - if your injecting practitioner is indicating this to be the case I would recommend a second opinion from a reputable practitioner in your area. Hope that helps! Dr Scott.

Answer: Dysport and Botox Hello and thank you for your question. The two products are very similar, and most would say that the conversion is between 2-3units of Dysport per unit of Botox to achieve the same lasting result. This can vary from patient to patient and there are many other factors that go into having an excellent, lasting result. It is best to see an injector with plenty of experience, and stick with a product that gives you the best results.Benjamin J. Cousins MDBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
