Dysport and Botox are both botulinum toxin type A products used for similar purposes, such as reducing wrinkles or treating certain medical conditions. However, their units are not directly interchangeable because they are formulated and measured differently.

The commonly accepted conversion ratio is approximately: 1 unit of Botox ≈ 3 units of Dysport

Key Points:

1. This ratio may vary slightly depending on the practitioner and the specific treatment area.
2. The efficacy and spread of Dysport and Botox can differ, so the dosing strategy might be adjusted based on the individual patient’s needs.

Here at Rejuvenate Austin, we try to make things as easy and transparent for the patient as possible and that requires education. In this short blog post, I am going to explain why we convert Dysport units to Botox units to make your dosing and final bill easier to understand.

Let me start by introducing myself for my new blog readers. I am Dr. Jessica Wright and I am board certified in General Surgery. I have been practicing in Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging for over a decade. I completed a Fellowship in Anti-Aging in 2021. I have treated thousands of patients personally and my practice has treated over 10,000 patients. Over the years, we have noticed how confusing it can be to switch between neurotoxins and to understand all the other procedures to achieve optimal skin health. I began writing blogs to help with the education of my patients and I even have printed copies in the office. I love sending patients home with handouts and a thorough consult sheet. We have a secure text line for questions after you get home and we pride ourselves in communication and education.

Now back to Dysport and Botox… The other competitor to Botox that we like is Xeomin. It is measured very much like Botox and does not require a conversion. I recently wrote a blog about Xeomin and when I like to use it for a patient. Go check it out!

Dysport, as you can see above, is measured so differently from Botox and can cause confusion around dosing and the final price of your service. Well, take a deep breath and rest assured that I made it super easy! A vial of Dysport is delivered at 300 units. A vial of Botox is 100 units. You can mix them exactly the same and inject them both as 100 Botox units. We will call Botox Units “BU” moving forward. Now remember that Dysport equation above: 1 unit of Botox ≈ 3 units of Dysport

So the 300 unit vial of Dysport is equivalent to the 100 unit vial of Botox. Now let’s just inject them both as a “BU”. Too many aesthetic practices are telling patients Dysport is $4/unit and Botox is $14/unit, but you need 3 times the Dysport. How confusing!! Instead of quoting you 60 units of Dysport, we will quote you 20 units of Dysport or Botox. They are both $14/BU. Make sense?

Now the math is super simple! When these items go on promo at $11/BU that is even better. Our membership is only $35/month and you lock in $10/unit of any Botox and 20% off skincare, filler, and skincare!

The post Why Are Dysport Units Measured Differently Than Botox Units? appeared first on Rejuvenate Austin - Austin’s Premier Medspa.

It’s like Botox’s cool, laid-back cousin, and it’s making waves in the beauty world. Let’s dive into what Xeomin is all about and why it might be the perfect pick for you.

So, What Exactly is Xeomin?

Xeomin is a type of botulinum toxin A, just like Botox and Dysport, and it’s used to temporarily smooth out those frown lines between your eyebrows, on your forehead, or around your eyes. But here’s the twist—Xeomin is super pure. Unlike Botox, which comes with extra proteins, Xeomin is just the good stuff, plain and simple. This “naked” version means your body is less likely to build up a resistance to it, so it could stay effective longer. You become resistant to these drugs by building up antibodies to them. We often switch patients with antibodies over to Xeomin to allow those antibodies time to go away.

Is Xeomin Vegan?

Good news for those following a vegan lifestyle—Xeomin is considered vegan-friendly! Xeomin doesn’t contain any animal-derived ingredients, and its manufacturing process doesn’t involve the use of animal products. Plus, the final product isn’t tested on animals by its manufacturer, making it a great option for those looking to align their beauty routine with their values. However, if veganism is important to you, it’s always a good idea to double-check with your healthcare provider or the manufacturer for the most up-to-date information, as practices can change.

How Does Xeomin Do Its Thing?

Xeomin works by telling your muscles to relax. It blocks the nerve signals to the muscles, so they don’t contract as much, which means your skin looks smoother and those wrinkles? Less noticeable. The treatment is pretty straightforward: a few tiny injections right into the muscles that cause those pesky lines. This is the exact same procedure for Botox and Dysport. It can be injected in other areas like the underarms or lower face, just like Botox.

Why People Are Loving Xeomin

1. It’s Pure: Without those extra proteins, Xeomin is less likely to cause resistance. So, if you’ve been using Botox and it’s starting to lose its magic, Xeomin might be your new go-to.
2. Natural Vibes: Many people say that Xeomin gives them a super natural look—no frozen face here. Just smooth skin that still moves like it should.
3. Quick and Easy: The procedure is fast, usually around 10 to 20 minutes, and you can get right back to your day afterward.
4. It Works: Clinical studies back it up—Xeomin can reduce those frown lines for about three to four months, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your refreshed look.

Xeomin vs. Botox: What’s the Difference?

Both Xeomin and Botox do a great job at smoothing wrinkles, but the main difference is in their ingredients. Botox has a few extra proteins that Xeomin leaves out. This might not seem like a big deal, but for some people, it can make a difference, especially if they’ve been using Botox for a while and it’s not as effective as it used to be. Plus, Xeomin’s minimalist formula might be the key to achieving a more natural result. At the end of the day, these drugs are more alike than they are different. I wrote this blog because Xeomin really does have an amazing distinction of being the purest form on the market.

Who Should Try Xeomin?

Xeomin is great for adults who are generally healthy and want to soften those lines of facial expression. It’s especially good if you’ve tried Botox or Dysport before but want to mix things up, or if you’re just looking for a simpler, purer option. As always, the best step is to chat with a professional to see if Xeomin is right for you. I, along with my PA and NPs, offer free consultations.

What to Expect During and After Your Xeomin Treatment

Getting Xeomin is quick and not too uncomfortable—most people say it feels like a tiny pinch. The whole thing is over in about 10 to 20 minutes. Afterward, you might have a little redness or swelling, but it usually goes away pretty fast.

You’ll start to notice the results in about five days, and within two weeks, you’ll see the full effect—a smoother, more relaxed appearance that lasts for about three to four months. When the time comes, you can easily repeat the treatment to keep those wrinkles at bay.

Wrapping It Up

Xeomin is a fantastic option if you’re looking for a fresh way to tackle wrinkles with a treatment that’s pure, effective, and leaves you looking like the best version of yourself.
Whether you’re a newbie to cosmetic treatments or just ready for a change, Xeomin could be just what you need to keep your skin looking smooth and youthful.

If you’re thinking about giving Xeomin a try, why not go for it? With its natural- looking results, vegan-friendly formula, and easy process, it’s no wonder more and more people are choosing Xeomin as their go-to wrinkle treatment. Here’s to smoother skin and feeling great in your own skin!

One more thing, because I love to educate, please use the code BLOG when you book your appointment here to get $9/unit on Xeomin. Just mention it in the notes or at check out!
