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
I would echo what has been said by previous doctors. My preference is for injecting Dysport due to my experience with Dysport having increased potency and onset of action. However, when looking at longevity between Xeomin, Dysport, and Botox, all three neurotoxins last about the same time based on clinical return of brow movement. If you're a purist, then Xeomin has no associated protein attached to it, so it may be best for you. I've also never seen a Botox allergy.
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 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.
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!
Thankfully the mechanism in which botox works isn't effected by swelling but sometimes the extra volume in an area could result in the botox moving or diffusing into an adjacent area. This is rare but can happen.So there is no problem with the botox not working even in the presence of swelling...
Although the Botox would not cause shingles, stress will. I would suggest that you get a handle on the shingles -- speak with your doctor about taking a low dose medication to deter outbreaks - before pursuing any kind of cosmetic procedure. I am so sorry that you are going through this.
Hello again, I have updated my answer with a web reference to better answer your question.Hi mymindisthekey. Lowered brows occur from relaxation of your forehead (frontalis) muscle and should resolve over time as the effect of your injections wears away. You likely are not suffering from mu...
My only suggestion would be to try another doctor. Your issue is not unheard of, but bottom line, Myobloc isn't going to make a difference. However, a higher dosage of Botox may help. Consult with a different board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss. Good luck --
