Anyone had Botox & switched to Dysport, or vice versa? Reason?
Anyone personally know what the difference is? |

| I'm no expert but botox and dysport are the same product, botulinum toxin I think dysport takes affect more quickly within 1-2 days it is supposed to be a bit cheaper buts lasts as long as botox |

| I believe where I go, they charge the same & that most patients ask for Botox when giving a choice. Botox I've had in the past has lasted nearly 6 months, so I 'll stick to that. |

| I have had both. I actually preferred the Botox although having said that, the doctor claimed the Dysport lasts longer, kicks in quicker, and is cheaper (well thats always a good thing). I think there is a reason it's cheaper though and that's because it dosent last anywhere near as long as botox. |

I have been getting Botox for the past 15yrs., usually paying anywhere from $6-700, every 6 months (that's all I can afford). I recently found a "spa" that had a special of only *$3.50* per unit for Dysport. Naturally, I jumped on it and am SOOOO glad I did!! It cost me ONLY $175 for my crow's feet and forehead lines (I skipped between my brows) and after only 2 days, it's already smoothing out my forehead lines. Plus, the injector (a nurse) did a beautiful job, NO red bumps at the injection sites, like the last couple of times, when I had my old, rip-off doctor do it, (who sent me a $25 off coupon, for my birthday PFFFFTTTT!!!). I am definitely sticking with Dysport!! In the past, when I inquired at other places about it, I was always discouraged and told that it took twice as much, compared to Botox, so the price would be the same. NOT TRUE!!!  |

My dermatologist charges the same price for Dysport, Botox and Xeomin. I've tried them all and they are all the same. Just get whichever one is cheaper whenever they run a special. I've learned from experience that the effectiveness depends on the skill of the injector so when you find someone you like, stick with her.
I pay $12 unit and when they have a sale it's $10. I wish prices would come down faster because there seems to be plenty of competition. |

| Allergan, the makers of Botox, did a price increase of 3% as of Jan 2nd so I wouldn't expect prices to drop much. |

| For me dysport. Botox didn't work for me. Apparently my dr said I wasn't the only one to say that about Botox. 1-2 out of her 10 patients complained about the same thing. Just didn't work, so I've stuck with dysport . |

Dionie, I am also resistant to Botox, so I am glad to hear this worked for you. I may have to try it! |
