Dysport: Same Smooth, Different Math

Everybody knows Botox. It’s the Kleenex of wrinkle relaxers. But let me introduce you to its super fabulous cousin, Dysport! Quicker on the draw, lasts just as long, and honestly, sometimes gives Botox a run for her money.

Why People Love Dysport

Dysport softens those bossy little facial muscles that make frown lines and crow’s feet show up before your morning coffee. The best part? It often works faster,some clients notice results in 1-2 days. And the smooth lasts about 4 months, longer than Botox's three month duration. Translation: less time staring at your lines in the mirror, more time enjoying your face.

The Unit Confusion (Let’s Clear This Up)

Here’s the part that trips everybody up: Dysport comes in a 300-unit vial. Botox comes in a 100-unit vial. And no, Dysport isn’t three times stronger, it’s just labeled differently.

Think of it like this: Botox is measuring in “miles,” Dysport is measuring in “kilometers.” Same trip, different speedometer.

• 1 unit of Botox ≈ 2.5 units of Dysport
• So 300 units of Dysport is basically the same as 100 units of Botox.

No need to panic. No need to Google. Just trust the math.

The Price Talk (Everyone’s Favorite Part)

At first glance, Dysport looks cheaper at $6/unit, while Botox rings in at $12/unit. But remember the conversion. You need more Dysport units for the same job.

Here’s how it plays out in real life:

• Frown line dose: 20 units Botox = 50 units Dysport
• Botox bill: 20 × $12 = $240
• Dysport bill: 50 × $6 = $300

Bottom Line

Dysport isn’t the “discount Botox.” It’s just Botox’s cousin who shops at a different grocery store. Both FDA-approved, both effective, both get the job done. The only difference? The math on the vial. Dysport is the Publix of neuromodulators.

So whether you’re a Botox loyalist or ready to give Dysport a shot (pun fully intended), both are safe, effective ways to smooth wrinkles and keep you looking like the best version of you.
