Will 50 units of Botox be equivalent to 150 units of Dysport?

Thank you for the question.   There may be some confusion here.  Your injector may have given you 30 unit "equivalents" of Dysport, or technically 90 units, and called it "30 units" using the 3 Dysport = 1 Botox unit conversion.  Sometimes it is easier for injectors to do this.  Please clarify this with your injector.  If they did in fact use 30 units of Dysport, then you are right, it is not nearly enough.  Good luck! 

Thank you for your question. As a general rule, we inject three times the units of Dysport as Botox. This would translate to 150 units per side. In your situation, the question becomes whether the lower dose of Dysport relative to Botox was effective. If it was effective then you received an appropriate dose. I generally start most patients with 60-90 units of Dysport but would have gone higher with your history of requiring 50 units of Botox per side. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
