If Dysport spreads more than Botox and "rocks the forehead," is there a greater potential for side effects in other areas, like the brow area? I get great results from Botox in three areas of the face and I'm considering using Dysport.

Answer: Dysport to treat the forehead Dysport probably does not spread in the forehead more than Botox when similar volumes of each are injected. The study that suggested otherwise used larger volumes of of Dysport than Botox. It is to be expected that larger volumes might migrate further. Once adjustments are made for the different potency or strength of Dysport, it is just as effective as Botox. Best yet, it is less expensive. I have been using Dysport since it was available and am as comfortable with it as Botox. My patients are loving it too.
