It’s a fair question. No one wants to be over- or under-treated. The truth, though, is that the answer depends on a few things, including the location you’re targeting and your individual muscle strength.
Professional insight is also vital to planning your treatment. That’s where Dr. Robert H. Hunsaker at Cosmetique Cosmetic Surgery Center comes in. A board-certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience in cosmetic procedures of the face and body, he thoughtfully customizes every Dysport session.
What Is Dysport and How Does It Work?
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator that temporarily minimizes the appearance of dynamic wrinkles – those formed from repeated facial expressions. It works by relaxing targeted muscles, softening lines without freezing your natural look.
Typical Dosage by Treatment Area
Dosage is measured in units, and different areas require different amounts. Here are some general dosages to give you an idea of what to expect:
- Glabellar lines (between the brows): 50 units (most common FDA-approved use)
- Forehead lines: 10–30 units
- Crow’s feet (sides of the eyes): 15–30 units total (both sides)
- Masseter muscle (for jaw slimming): 40–80 units per side
- Neck bands or other off-label uses: Dosage varies more widely
Keep in mind that Dysport units are not interchangeable with BOTOX® Cosmetic units. If you’ve had BOTOX before, don’t be surprised if your Dysport dose sounds higher. It’s simply dosed differently.
Factors Affecting How Much You’ll Need
Several factors influence the number of units you might require:
- Muscle strength and size: Stronger facial muscles may need more units to relax.
- Treatment history: First-time users might start with a conservative amount.
- Aesthetic goals: Whether you prefer a softer or more dramatic result can impact dosage.
This is why having an in-person consultation is essential.
