Does Jeuveau require more units than Dysport?

Hello, and thank you for your question. Jeuveau and Dysport have different dosing units. Jeaveau is often dosed in 2-4 unit increments per site, while Dysport is 5-10 unit increments per site. So if you had more units with Dysport, that makes sense in comparison to Jeuveau. If you are ever concerned or question unit dosing, be sure to ask your provider to clarify for you. The effect can be the same even though dosing is different, but some people respond a little different to each brand of neurotoxin.

The different brands of neuromodulator have unique units which are not directly interchangeable. It is likely that the injector who did your Dysport was telling you the units in "botox units" so as not to be confusing. The conversion rate is 3 to 1, meaning that 30 actual Dysport units would be equivalent to only 10 units of Jeuveau. 10 Dysport units would not be enough to treat a masseter muscle. So, again, because the math and the concept on this are confusing to clients, we tend not to "talk" in actual Dysport units but rather take them and multiply by 3 and report it as if it is more like the other brands units.

One unit of Jeuveau equates to about two and half units of Dysport. So based on your description, you should have an increased effect from your Jeuveau treatment than what you had with Dysport.
