Do I Really Need Double Dysport to Get Same Effect of Botox?

Most injectors will consider 2.5 - 3 Dysport units to be equivalent to 3 Botox units. So, 25 units of Botox would be roughly equivalent to 75 units of Dysport. While this is not an exact conversion rate, only 2 times the number of Botox units would typically be an inadequate number of Dysport units to achieve the same result.
All the best,

Thank you for your question about Dysport.  Yes, it is typical that it may take 2-3 times as much Dysport as it takes Botox to get the same result.  For that reason, Dysport is typically priced at a much lower dollar per unit price than Botox.  The prices and amounts you were quoted are typical.
To be sure, see two or more experienced,
licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation
to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.
I hope this helps.
 

Thank you for your question. There are 100 units in a vial of Botox. In a vial of Dysport, there are 300 units. Most practices will charge the same amount for Botox and Dysport, the number of units will differ. If you are paying $300 for 1 treatment area of Botox, it should be an equal dollar amount for Dysport treatment in that same area. The number of units will differ in this example. In our practice, and many others, we do this so the practitioner and patient can make a decision on which to use based on the desired outcome, not price.
