Did I get a good deal for Dysport in my Armpits?

With Dysport we talk about units in two ways and it can be very confusing to patients. In terms of actual units of Dysport you would need 150 per side, but your injector may have been talking in terms of volume units (which is a way of converting Dysport units to Botox units) in which case 50 per side is appropriate. It's best to just call and clarify if you are worried, however if the treatment works it doesn't really matter how much was injected.

Dosages for axillary hyperhidrosis can range depending on the size of the armpit in question and the severity of disease.  Generally, dosages for dysport for axillary hyperhidrosis range from as little as 75 units per axilla to 150 units and can last for up to 6 months.  Lower dosages may have less effect and shorter duration of effect.  More can always be added if the results are not as much as you would like or if the treatment wears off too quickly.

Cost of Dysport will vary from practice to practice. Sounds like there was some confusion between the recommended dose of Botox and Dysport for the armpits. The average dose of Botox is 50U per armpit. This would mean approximately 150U of Dysport for each armpit. However, the doses necessary will vary from person to person. I have gotten good results on certain patients using just 25U of Botox per armpit or 75U of Dysport per armpit. If you have no improvement in 2 weeks then your dose was probably not effective. Please find an experienced injector. Hope this helps answer your question.

It is very different Dysport units to volume units. It may be that you received the units you needed but with the adjustment in volume units for the use.

Thank you for your question.Best outcomes I have seen is with Botox for underarm hyperhidrosis. Read my ebook about axillary hyperhidrosis. You should also consider miraDry as a one time procedure. Dr H Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member

Hello and thank you for your questions, and I hope you get the results
you desire. The dosage forms for Botox and Dysport are different to attain effective treatment. You can always have more injected to the armpit/hyperhidrosis areas if you are not getting the results you want or if it is wearing off too soon. Generally, Botox and Dysport will typically begin to "kick in" after
4-7 days, but some may see results earlier. The full effect of the injection is usually seen
after 7-10 days so two weeks after your injections is a great time for a
follow-up with your injector if you are not getting the results you desire.
Additional injections may be given at 2 weeks if more correction is
desired/needed as each patient's effective dose is a bit different. It is best to find the product and dosage that works best for what you are looking for and stick with it. Best of luck.Benjamin J. Cousins MDBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Even though you received less than recommended you will still get a good result.  If you put more in it will improve the results slightly but make the results last longer.   Less cost is typically better than more in a perfect world.
