Dysport is injected with a small needle in tiny amounts to specific areas. Dysport is usually sold to clients by the unit.
The number of units necessary for an effective treatment varies, both by the individual and the area treated. Men usually need a few more units than women to achieve the same effect. At Evolutions, it is common to use 60-72 units of Dysport for the glabellar region (the frown lines), 30-42 units of Dysport for the forehead, and 30-42 units of Dysport for the peri-orbital area (“crow’s feet”). If you have had a Dysport treatment in any of these areas and have received significantly more units, you may have received more Dysport than is necessary for an effective treatment.
It is important to note that Botox and Dysport are measured differently (much like feet vs. meters). This difference is accounted for in the pricing.
Dr. Terry Perkins, Santa Barbara Cosmetic Surgeon and Founder of Evolutions Medical Spa did a live demonstration of injecting Dysport – Santa Barbara’s new anti-wrinkle treatment of choice – on a medical spa client at their 5-year anniversary open house. Other interested clients gathered to watch.
