This was my first experience with Dysport. I have tried Botox a couple of times maybe 2 or 3 years ago and that was also good, but I was going to a different physician ( I saw a plastic surgeon this time, the previous 2 times I saw a dermatologist) and he had Dysport. He told me it is the same medication just a different manufacturer so that was fine with me.

I was injected in my forehead to address one horizontal line that really bothered me. He did a couple of "pokes" above the line and then a smaller dose just above each eyebrow, really almost in the outer eyebrow itself he said to add a little lift in that area.

Well, I am very pleased with the results. We used a very very small dose - I asked for that because I figure you can always add more but obviously can't take away... and it was just enough. It has been about 2 1/2 months and I have noticed a teeny bit that the line is just starting to come back. I will definitely do it again in a month or two once I feel like the line is more visible. Maybe the line is coming back a little faster than with Botox, but I can't say that for sure.

Oh, I love it when people share their Botox vs Dysport stories with us! Its always so interesting to hear the differences people experience. Of course in your case there is also a different injector, so that could change things up as well, but I'll be looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on Dysport. :)

I just went back for another injection today. I did it on 1/16 so considering today is 5/6 I would say it lasted a solid 3 months which is the same as when I did Botox in the past. I hope that if I keep this up I can go longer in between injections bc of cost which was $399 today. I know I live in an expensive part of the country and I think this cost is the going rate around here. I had 75 units of Dysport which I was told is the equivalent of 25 units of Botox. So a small amount I'm told. After doing both Botox and Dysport I'll say the only difference I noticed is that the Dysport kicked in a little sooner.

just wanted to update to say that this kicked in after 2 days this time. Much faster than botox has in the past.
