I had been getting 35 units of Xeomin for forehead and crows feet. My dermatologist in live oak said I would like Dysport better. They charged 11 for Xeomin, 12 for Dysport, and 13 for Botox. He suggested 50 units. I paid 600 and now I'm concerned because I'm reading it takes twice as much Dysport to equal a Xeomin unit. Is it possible the dermatologist can mix it stronger? He did my forehead, crowsfeet and jowls with 50 units.

Hi Bbb03054,
I am Sarah, a medical assistant at Aesthetic Skin MD with Dr. Anil Shah in Chicago. I have read your story and I would advise you to start chewing gum to work your temporalis muscle back up from Botox injections. At the moment, the muscle is paralyzed from the neurotoxins, but...
Typically, only 2-3 Botox equivalent units (6-9 units Dysport) are required to lift the corners of the mouth. While this will seem relatively simple, it can result in asymmetric smile if the wrong muscles are injected, so please make sure you visit an experienced injector.
Dysport is also used to contour facial features. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures. Determine if this is the best approach for you.
