Botox vs Dysport: Cost Per Unit
Published by Renownly · Prices from Google AI Overview answers captured November 2026
Dysport is quoted lower per unit: about $4 to $5 in Dallas–Fort Worth, against about $10 to $15 for Botox. It doesn’t follow that Dysport costs less, because the FDA labels dose frown lines at 50 units of Dysport and 20 units of Botox. At those doses the totals are close: about $200 to $250 and $200 to $300.
Side by side, for frown lines
Frown lines are the only cosmetic use that both labels cover, so they are the one direct comparison.
| Botox Cosmetic | Dysport | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical DFW price per unit | $10 to $15 | $4 to $5 |
| Label dose for frown lines | 20 units | 50 units |
| Injection sites | 5 (4 units each) | 5 (10 units each) |
| Estimated total | $200 to $300 | $200 to $250 |
| Starting dose, American Family Physician 2014 | 20 to 25 units | 50 to 60 units |
| Retreatment, per the label | More often than every 3 months not clinically evaluated | No more often than every 3 months |
Totals multiply the label dose by the quoted rate and are estimates. A clinic’s own quote can land elsewhere: one with Botox at the low end and Dysport at the high end would reverse the order.
Why the unit counts aren’t comparable
A unit is defined by each product’s own potency test. The Botox Cosmetic label and the Dysport label both say their units can’t be compared to or converted into another product’s. You will see conversion ratios online, including in AI answers. Neither label gives one, so we don’t state one here.
So a unit price only compares like with like. For Botox on its own, see how much 1 unit costs.
What the Dysport quotes looked like
These figures come from the Google AI Overview answers we captured in November 2026 for Dallas–Fort Worth cities. Our capture asks about Botox, so Dysport only appears when the answer mentions it. Treat this as a sample, not a survey.
| City | Dysport per unit | What the answer quoted | Botox per unit, same city |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockwall, TX | $3.75–$5.00 | typical range in the answer | $10–$15 |
| McKinney, TX | $4–$5 | typical range in the answer | $11–$16 |
| Carrollton, TX | $4–$5 | typical range in the answer | $10–$15 |
| Grapevine, TX | $4.25 | one clinic | $11–$13 |
| Frisco, TX | $6 | one clinic | $10–$15 |
| Rockwall, TX | $6.99 | one clinic | $10–$15 |
Most mentions sit around $4 to $5, and individual clinics reach $6.99. Membership and new-patient rates show up in these answers too, so ask which rate you are being quoted.
What the labels cover beyond frown lines
The Dysport label’s cosmetic use is limited to frown lines in adults under 65. For Botox Cosmetic, the label also covers crow’s feet, forehead lines and platysma bands. Cosmetic use of either product beyond its label is off-label, and which product suits you is a question for your injector.
What to ask when you compare
- Which product would you use for me, and how many units?
- What is the total for each option?
- Is that the regular rate, or a membership or first-visit rate?
Common questions
Is Dysport cheaper than Botox per unit?
Yes, on the sticker. Google's AI Overview answers for Dallas–Fort Worth cities in November 2026 put Dysport around $4 to $5 a unit and Botox around $10 to $15. A treatment uses more Dysport units, so compare the total.

For frown lines, the totals land close together at label doses: about $200 to $250 for 50 units of Dysport and about $200 to $300 for 20 units of Botox, at typical DFW rates. Your own quote depends on the clinic and the dose your injector chooses.
How many units of Dysport equal one unit of Botox?
Both labels say their units can't be compared to or converted into another product's units, so there is no official conversion. The frown line doses on the labels are 50 units of Dysport and 20 units of Botox. Your injector sets the dose for the product you choose.
