Can I switch from Botox to Dysport? I had 50 ml to forehead 11 lines & crows feet. I'm 46 and female

You certainly can. In fact, I recommend trying both. Think of it as Pepsi vs. CocaCola. I have seen patients develop a "tolerance" if you will to Botox after years of treating with it. If that's the case, I would have you make the switch. For the Botox to have worked on one side but not the other makes me question the product placement, it may have been an injector error. Talk with your healthcare professional at your next visit to determine what your best options are.Be well#BotoxORDysport #ineffectivenessofbotox #injectorerror

Interested if your injections were performed by a board certified physician. Both products should have a similar result. You need to discuss with your doctor or have a second opinion.

Irregular botox results can be due to placement, technique, facial asymmetry.  It is likely not due to the product itself.  If botox is placed in the wrong plane or in the wrong amounts less effect will occur.  For best results, go see an expert injector.  No reason that you can't switch to dysport; the products are very similar in outcomes depending on injector dilution and techniques.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are trade names for the botulinum protein that works specifically within the neuro-muscular junction to temporarily stop transmission of a particular neurotransmitter. This prevents muscle contraction. In our office, all three versions are used. I like to use Dysport in certain areas and Botox in others, but they can be used interchangeably to achieve the desired results. 

Thank you for your question, and I hope you get the results that you seek. Botox will typically begin to
"kick in" after 4-7 days. Dysport is about the same, but some may see results earlier. The full
effect is usually seen after 7-10 days so additional injections are usually
given at 2 weeks if needed. Botox typically lasts 3-4 months, and after that it begins to
slowly wear off.  Your 2 week follow-up is a great time for a check-up. Best of luck.Benjamin J. Cousins MDBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your Q.It was the technique that caused asymmetry, not the product.BestDr. Karamanukian

There is really no reason to switch.  it is not the Botox that is the issue. Be sure you are seeing aboard certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. also, you had 50 units not 50 cc

Thank you for your question.  Botox and Dysport can be used interchangeably and both can even be used at same time as we sometimes do, using Botox in the glabella and Dysport in the crows feet for reasons of spread of effect.  Nevertheless, it seems your issue is poor placement of your toxin, please follow up with your board certified Dermatologist for further evaluation and management.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

Both products are excellent products that can produce similar results. However, it sounds as if it was the placement of the Botox that was an issue.  Please consult an expert for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green
