dimpleIs it safe to inject undiluted Dysport into the face?

Question

I visited a facility for Botox treatment, and the technician informed me that they were out of Botox but had undiluted Dysport available. She suggested a 1-to-1 ratio, meaning she would inject 20 units of undiluted Dysport instead of the prepaid 20 units of Botox, claiming it would have the same effect. I decided not to proceed with the treatment and am now questioning the accuracy of her statement. I haven't been able to find any information online about injecting undiluted Dysport. Thank you for your assistance.

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin all require dilution prior to injection. It was wise of you to not go through with the injections. What you were told makes completely no sense it makes me question the skill and ethics of the injector. Best of luck.

Good job researching this topic! Botox and Dysport come as a powder and must be reconstituted, or diluted, in saline in order to be used. Depending on how it is diluted, 1 unit of Botox equals 3 units of Dysport. Be careful-I am not sure what "UNDILUTED Dypsort" is! Best regards, Dr. Aldo :-)

What she told you makes absolutely no sense. Dysport comes in powder form and cannot be injected unless it is diluted. The same thing applies to both Botox and Xeomin. Depending on how it is diluted, 1 unit of Botox equals 3 units of Dysport. You made a smart move by not going through with it!
