Hi, I am trying to decide between getting either Botox or Dysport done within the next month or two. I am trying to weigh out the cost differences and was wondering if anyone could give me any insight as to how many units of Botox I would need and the estimated amount of units I would need if I were to get Dysport. I've found two local offices that will be having specials in October one will be offering Botox at $11 per unit and the other office will be offering Dysport at $4 per unit.
Answer: Botox vs Dysport I use both and as such, really do not have a personal opinion. Dysport is a little cheaper, but lasts less time and has a higher risk of spreading to muscles in which you may not want it to spread to. Having said that, the most important decision is not whether you are getting a savings, but whether you are finding the right person with the appropriate experience to do the injections.

Answer: Typically, more Dysport® than BOTOX® is needed to achieve the same results. Although everyone responds a bit differently to different products, Dysport diffuses more than BOTOX so more product is typically required to see the same outcome. If this is your first time trying these injectables, it's difficult to predict exactly how much you'll need. Your best course of action is to visit a highly experienced injector, then follow their recommendations with regards to which product (and how much) would be best to help you meet your goals. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Botox / Dysport I use Botox and Dysport in my practice and do not have a preference. Typically one uses 3 units of Dysport for every 1 unit of Botox so the price difference is nominal. The most important factor is to find a licensed physician with experience who you are comfortable with.

Answer: Botox vs. Dysport Hello,Thank you for sharing your question and photo.Typically you need 2.5-3x as many Dysport units compared to Botox units so the cost is approximately the same. Both products work well and most patients will find they cannot tell the difference between the two. I compare Botox and Dysport to Coke and Pepsi. I recommend my patients to try both and find their own personal preference.I would start conservatively if you are only planning to treat the forehead and not the glabella (area between the eyebrows), as sometimes it can cause the brows to feel heavy due to unopposed paralysis. I recommend simultaneous treatment of both the forehead and glabella for a more balanced result. 10-12 units would be a good place to start for the forehead alone. As always, please see an experienced, board-certified injector.Hope this helps!
