How many units of Dysport should I get? I get 40 units of Botox.

Thank you for your
question.The conversion is roughly 3:1 from Dysport to Botox. Therefore, this equates to 120 Units of Dysport.

To be sure, see two
or more 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 these
treatments.

I hope this helps.

The conversion rate form Botox to Dysport in terms of units is 2.5:1.  Therefore the result obtained with 40 units of Botox is equivalent to 100 units of Dysport.

I use a 2.5 conversion factor so somewhere around 100 units of Dysport should give a similar result to 40 units of Botox. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hi Karen.  We use a 3:1 conversion from Dysport to Botox.  That would be 120 units.  We do this because we can offer 3 units of Dysport at the same price as 1 unit of Botox and feel that the duration at a 3:1 conversion is better for Dysport than for Botox.  We have tested this over and over again for many years and have transitioned our whole practice to Dysport.  Our patients love the results.To see our complete analysis of the pros and cons of Dysport vs. Botox, click the link below.  

2.5 is probably a bit low and 3.0 is probably too high.  However this is the neighborhood.  Make sure the doctor is taking before and after photographs so you can actually study your treatment effect.
