Hello and thanks for your question,Botox, Dysport can be used interchangeably by an injector with great success. Based on FDA recommendations and my 25 years of experience injecting these products, the technique and knowledge and evaluation of the anatomy are keys to best results.Hope this was helpful.Best wishes,Dr Sajjadian
Hello, Thankyou for your question. Xeomin,Botox, and Dysport are all very similar medications and are typically usedinterchangeably. Takecare.
Thank you for your question. There haven't been many had to head studies comparing these 2 drugs but extensive evaluation of the available medical literature suggests that there is not a significant difference in duration of effect between these drugs when they are used in appropriate dosages. I would follow the recommendation of your expert injector
Thank you for your question in regards to Botox. They are vary similar and usually last about the time amount of time. Every individual is different on how they will metabolize the product and based on how much was injected will have a lasting effect. To be sure what is best for you, 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 treatment.I hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. In my experience, Botox last little longer than xeomin using the same dosing. There are however Xeomin sponsored studies that show that they are equivalent in duration
I feel they all last the same and the lasting effect is based on dosage rather than the material. Best, Dr. Emer.
There are not differences in treatment duration between most types of neurotoxin. Myobloc, which is not often used has a shorter duration than the others, which is typically 3-4 months in duration. Dysport may settle in faster than botox and give a denser block, but otherwise there are not significant differences between the different products.
Basically, Botox and Xeomin last about the same amount of time which 3-4 months. However, I've found that when patients schedule their first few treatments consistently at the 3/4 month mark, their later treatment results can last longer. Hope this helps, Dr. Nazarian
In my experience these products are comparable. You can expect 3-4 months of improvement when treated with the proper dose and technique. Dysport might begin to act more quickly but that difference is fairly negligible. For a variety of reason Botox is my favored product but they are each highly effective. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
In my experience all 3 neurotoxins on the market today last about the same amount of time. There are slight differences between the 3, but in general they are very similar.Keeping up with injections can help to extend how long they last. So at first getting treated every 3 months, can after about a year be extended to every 4-6 months.
I wonder if the Botox you received was not made by Allergen? Some physician may not use it or may not dilute it properly.
Typically, difficulty swallowing occurs with deeper neck injections near the esophagus and/or voice box. Usually, superficial facial Bootx does not cause that issue. Check back in with your primary to look for other causes and also discuss with your Botox provider. Good Luck!
Anytime there is an injection, there is a chance of a blood vessel being hit. It will likely have no effect on the Botox. If there is a problem once everything has set in, your injector can add a little back into that area. Try to forget about it for now... It is likely fine.
