Why Do Some People Respond Better to Dysport for Deep Wrinkles?

While it is true that BOTOX, Dysport and Xeomin are not what medical experts call bioequivalent, there clinical effects are very similar.  So similar that in expert hands, there does not appear to be any differences in the clinical effects.  Now the effects of treatments and dosages of these products do vary from doctor to doctor.  One issue in comparing BOTOX to Dysport is that the dosages are not equivalent.  One unit of BOTOX is not one unit of Dysport.  Doctors who use a lot of these products have their own personal formulas for how much of a particular agent is needed for a particular clinical service.

Though not exactly the same, Botox and Dysport (and Xeomin) are very similar.  There really is no specific area where one substance would work more effectively than another.  Efficacy is more dependent on dosage/units and placement of product.  Though similar, some patients may feel that they respond better for some reason to one neurotoxin over another, but generally speaking they should all give a very similar end result, regardless of superficial or deep wrinkle.  Dysport does have a slightly faster onset of action which for most is the only discernable difference.
