If I am receiving 300 units of Dysport, how much should I be paying? She is calling it 3 areas

Hi! 300 is an entire bottle of dysport. Seems like a bit much. How long it will last varies as well as prices from region to region. You should ask your injector about how they price their units! Best, Dr. Aldo

That is a large amount of Dysport for three areas. Normally, I use between 160-180 units for three areas. You may wish to consult your physician again, as that seems excessive.

Hello and thanks for your question. 

It may be a good idea to get a second opinion or perhaps there was a miscommunication. 3 areas should be 180 units of Dysport. I use this medication a lot and 300 units is nearly an entire bottle. This is far too much. 

3 areas should be around 1000$ depending on the location and the skill of the injector. Remember, with your face, you get what you pay for. 



Hope this helps and God Bless!

The cost of Dysport, or any injectable agent used for cosmetic purposes, will vary by physician.  300 units of Dysport does seem on the high side for the amount to be needed to treat 3 areas, but the amount needed can vary by patient.  In my opinion, the normal range would be somewhere between 180-225 units of Dysport for 3 areas of the face.  If you have strong facial muscles or the area to be treated is larger than normal, then it could be possible that more would be needed.  

Very few people need this much Dysport for cosmetic issues.  I recommend consulting other injectors in your area.  This would approximately like getting 100 units of BOTOX or Xeomin.  It is a whopping dose and it is improbable that you need more than a third of that dose.  See what other doctors in your area recommend.
