They sometimes prefer one over the other in certain facial areas, due to differences in the onset of results, and spread of effect.

Dysport™ is currently used in over sixty countries throughout Europe, Asia and South America -- and it is supported by over a decade of clinical experience. It was originally developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1990’s to successfully treat cervical dystonia in adults to reduce the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain, and the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines. In most unbiased neurological studies, Dysport has provided equal or greater efficacy when used in a 1 to 2.5 ratio to Botox. In a double-blinded randomized crossover study, results showed Dysport™ to be more effective than Botox with a similar safety and side effects.
