Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much Botox/Dysport will I need?
A. Because everyones facial structure and muscles are different - it is hard to recommend an amount without first doing a consultation.
Here are the recommended dosing units per area from Allergan and Galderma:
Neurotoxin Recommendations Per Area
Eyebrow Lift = 2-5 U Botox / 6-15 U Dysport
Frown Lines/ Glabella = 10-25 U Botox / 30-75 U Dysport
Forehead Lines = 10-30 U Botox / 30-90 U Dysport
Crow's Feet (per side) = 5-15 U Botox / 15-45 U Dysport
​
Q. What is the difference between Dysport and Botox?
A. Botox and Dysport are both neurotoxins that have been FDA approved for the treatment of preventing and/or relaxing wrinkles in the face. The dosing for Dysport is different than that for Botox. Approximately 2.5 to 3 units of Dysport are required for every unit of Botox. For example, in the glabella 20 units of Botox would be equivalent to 60 units of Dysport.
​
Q. What should I expect from my Botox/Dysport treatments?
A. Expectations are very important when receiving any kind of Neurotoxin treatment or dermal fillers. Botox and Dysport are not wrinkle erasers, they are wrinkle relaxers. This is why it is such a good idea to do this treatment as a preventative before you start to see the wrinkles setting in. Once this happens, treatments such as fillers and lasers are best used in combination with Neurotoxins, to prevent the wrinkles from becoming more prominent and deep.
​
Q.When will I see results from my Botox/Dysport?
A. Everyone is a little different. We require you to wait 10 days before coming back in for any "tweaking". Usually you will start to see your results anywhere from 3 to 10 days.
