Dysport Study Update

We are winding down on our study & thank everyone who participated.
The question was: How does Dysport compare to Botox - does it last longer & is it more effective?
The answer is: Yes, no or maybe. They are both botulinum toxin and work very similarly.
The primary difference is the number of units required. We are seeing approximately a 3 to one unit difference. In eyes it takes 1 unit of Botox. You will need approximately 3 units of Dysport.
- Time of onset is about the same, 3-4 days average.
- Injection site the same.
- The price of Dysport is slightly less expensive.
- Longevity is still yet to be seen. We expect a similar amount of longevity.
How to choose? A lot will depend on which company is offering the best deal. Ah yes, Free Market reigns supreme.
