The 1st time I had Dysport I had 140 units in total, 50u to my frown, 30u to each eye & 30u to my forehead, she mixed with 2.5mls but this time I saw someone different and had 21 units to my frown, 12u to each eye & 10u to my forehead, she mixed with 2.8mls so have I had enough? & why is it mixed different? Its only been 2 days but after comparing my records between the two I'm now worried I havn't had enough as I am going away for a few weeks so would rather go back now if I do need more?
Answer: How many units of Dysport are needed? Each patient is unique, but in most cases, I will start patients out with approximately 30 Dysport units to the horizontal forehead lines, 60 units to the glabella, and 60 units total to the crow's feet (30 units each side) for a total of 150 Dysport units. The amount of volume injected will vary from one injector to another as each injector will mix or dilute the product differently. I think it is important to follow up on a regular basis with the same injector rather than bounce around. That way subtle alterations and improvement can be made to your treatment regimen in order to get the best result. Always see an expert physician injector for a personalized treatment regimen. All the best,

Answer: Skilled Dysport Injectors Like the more well known Botox® brand,Dysport® is an injectable used to temporarily improve the look of frown lines without changing the look of your whole face. The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas. Over time, the use of muscles above and between the eyebrows cause wrinkles. Injecting Dysport® into these areas, blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, reducing muscle activity. The result is temporary softening or elimination of visible wrinkles/lines.A skilled provider that is experienced with injections will be able to tell you how many units you will need for the correction you are seeking. This can also vary from time to time as and may change as you receive the treatments over time#Dysporttreatments #Treatwrinkles #DysportoverBotox

Answer: Dysport Units The amount of Dysport initially used sounds like it is within a normal range, but that can only be determined by assessing someone in person. The amount used with the second treatments seem more likely to coincide with Botox units as opposed to Dysport units. If the amount used the second time was indeed Dysport units, then it seems like a conservative treatment. Each product is diluted differently and the units are specific to each product. There is not a direct conversion of units from one product to the other, so it is a good idea to find an injector that is familiar with both products and knows the right amount to use. Each product can begin to work at different times. Some people say that Dysport starts to work faster than Botox. Regardless, maximum results are usually reached at 2 weeks for both products. You should contact your injector to see which product was used and have them evaluate you.

Answer: Dysport Dosing
The first injection you describe sounds more typical of Dysport dosing. The second injection you had sounds more like Botox dosing. However, without evaluating your medical records, it is impossible to know what you had injected. If your second injection was actually Dysport, then you were given a very minimal amount of product and I would expect a very minimal result. If it was Botox, then you should see a nice result.
Good Luck.
