Personally in my hands<\/span>, I like BOTOX<\/h3>\n

Today, I received on FaceBook, a question regarding a comment regarding Dysport vs. Botox. \u00a0I was invited to give my personal thoughts and I would like to share them. \u00a0For the most part, I disagree with what’s written in the screen capture below:<\/p>\n

\"reasons<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My response to the question:<\/p>\n

I like all of them! Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin<\/h3>\n

Dysport is excellent. \u00a0So is Xeomin. \u00a0Dysport, Xeomin, and Botox are neuromodulators. \u00a0In my opinion they work very similarly. \u00a0I have personally injected all three products and have personally received injections of Botox and Dysport. \u00a0I have come to the conclusion when using the products, much of the differences come down to four\u00a0things:<\/p>\n

1. How much was used.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Who is the injector.<\/p>\n

3. What precise 3-D location was it injected (muscle\/fascia all have depth).<\/p>\n

4. How was it injected.<\/p>\n

How to Compare? pound for pound?<\/h3>\n

I’m not certain that you can convert one unit of one product to another unit of another product. \u00a0For example, how many Hondas equal one Toyota? \u00a0Would it be 1.5 Hondas is the equivalent of 1 Toyota because of horse power rating or based on gas mileage – or the other way around. \u00a0I have owned both Hondas and Toyotas – and I like both.<\/p>\n

So that’s the first problem when comparing neuromodulator. \u00a0Do we really know if we have equivalency? \u00a0Is 2.5U of Dysport really the same as 1U of Botox? \u00a0Or have we now changed it to 2.9U of Dysport to equal 1 U of Botox. \u00a0I jumped at the chance to try Dysport in January 2013. \u00a0I think the results were great. \u00a0But I think that in my own hands, the results of Botox was better.<\/p>\n

I agree that Dysport spreads more. \u00a0But for me, I see that as a disadvantage. \u00a0The way I inject, I like a bit more pin-point accuracy. \u00a0But then again, that’s my personal way of injecting. \u00a0I like planning my injection sites whenever possible – thus I’m not looking for a wide diffusion pattern of the neuromodulator.<\/p>\n

There will be people who say that a Toyota\u00a0is better than Honda – or the other way around. I think both are good car companies. \u00a0But I would say that currently for me, I drive my own Honda a lot better than I would drive a Toyota because that’s what I drive every day.<\/p>\n
