Dysport Vs. Botox - What's the Difference?

How is Dysport different from Botox? Is it cheaper? Is it better?

Botox v. Dysport

Thank you for your question. Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) are both botulimun toxins and effectively have the same action on muscle function. In our San Francisco Bay Area practice we use frequently use both products interchangeably. Some patients prefer or respond to one more favorably than the other so our recommendation is to try both and formulate your own opinion. One of the biggest differences between then two products is that for every one unit of Botox approximately 2.5 units of Dysport are required to achieve the same results. Because of this, many offices, including our own, price per treatment area regardless of the units required. Alternatively, Dysport may be priced lower per unit than Botox, however prices will vary from practice to practice. I hope this helps.
