Update on Botox and Dysport in San Diego
Botox and Dysport have now been competing head to head on the market for several months, and our San Diego patients have reported good results with the new botox competitor. In our practice, we have found that it takes approximately 3 units of Dysport to every 1 unit of Botox to achieve comparable results. Since there are 300 units in a bottle of dysport and 100 units in a bottle of botox, ounce for ounce they are pretty much the same.
For patients it is important to understand that $4/unit for Dysport is the same as $12/unit for botox- simply multiply by 3 to get the equivalent value.
Overall, having two competing products that both work means lower prices and that is what we have seen. Patients should keep their eyes peeled for specials on either product at our San Diego Face medical spa.
Several of my patients who reported that their botox has not been lasting as long as when they first starting using it have switched to dysport, to see if they can get more "bang for the buck." We will keep you posted on these results...
