How Many Units of Dysport Do You Need? Dysport Cost in Toronto by Treatment Area (2026)
If you have searched for the price of Botox or Dysport, you have probably seen a per-unit price. That number on its own does not tell you much. The real question is: how many units will your face need, and what will the whole treatment cost?
This guide answers both. Below, you will find the typical number of Dysport units for each treatment area and exactly what that costs at Vanish Clinic, so you can plan your Dysport cost in Toronto before you book.
Dysport Cost Toronto Pricing at Vanish Clinic
At Vanish Clinic, Dysport is priced simply:
• $10 + HST per unit for any treatment area
• 100 units for $750 + HST, ideal for treating several areas at once
Paying per unit is the fairest model. You only pay for the amount of product your muscles actually need, rather than a flat "per area" fee that may include product you do not use.
Why Dysport Units Are Different From Botox Units
Before looking at the numbers, there is one important thing to know: Dysport units and Botox units are not the same. Dysport is measured differently, so you typically need about 2.5 to 3 Dysport units for every Botox unit.
That is why Dysport unit counts look higher and its price per unit is lower. When you compare clinics, compare the total cost for the area, not the price per unit. We explain the full difference in our Dysport vs. Botox guide.
How Many Units of Dysport Do You Need? Cost by Area
Here are the typical Dysport doses and costs at Vanish Clinic. Your injector will adjust them to your muscle strength, facial anatomy and goals.
Treatment area | Typical Dysport units | Estimated cost (before HST) |
Forehead lines | 20 to 50 | $200 to $500 |
Frown lines (glabella, the "11s") | 40 to 60 | $400 to $600 |
Crow's feet (both sides) | 30 to 60 | $300 to $600 |
Bunny lines (nose) | 10 to 20 | $100 to $200 |
Lip flip | 10 to 15 | $100 to $150 |
Chin dimpling | 10 to 20 | $100 to $200 |
Full upper face (forehead, frown lines and crow's feet) | About 100 | $750 with our 100-unit package |
Jaw slimming or clenching (masseters) | 100 or more | From $750 for 100 units |
Unit ranges are typical estimates, not a quote. Ontario HST is 13%. Your exact dose is confirmed at your consultation.
Forehead Lines: 20 to 50 Units
Horizontal forehead lines are one of the most common reasons people book. A taller forehead or stronger muscles need more units. Too much product here can make the brows feel heavy, so a skilled injector often treats the forehead together with the frown lines for a balanced result.
Frown Lines (Glabella): 40 to 60 Units
The vertical "11" lines between the brows are created by some of the strongest muscles in the upper face, which is why they need a relatively higher dose. Learn more in our article on glabellar lines and how they are treated.
Crow's Feet: 30 to 60 Units
Smile lines at the outer corners of the eyes respond well to small, precise doses on each side. The goal is to soften the lines while keeping your smile natural and expressive.
Smaller Areas: Bunny Lines, Lip Flip and Chin
Small "detail" areas need just 10 to 20 units each. These treatments are often added to a larger appointment, which makes them very cost-effective, especially within the 100-unit package.
Jaw Slimming and Clenching: 100 Units or More
Treating the masseter muscles can slim a square jawline and relax habitual clenching. Because these are large, strong muscles, they need a higher dose. This treatment is assessed carefully case by case at consultation.
What About "Baby Dysport"?
Microdosing uses fewer units spread over the same area for softer, more natural movement. It is popular with younger patients focused on prevention and with first-timers who want a subtle start. Expect lower unit counts and a lower cost per visit, though results may wear off a little sooner. Read more about the baby Botox trend and who it suits.
How to Budget for Dysport Over a Year
Dysport typically lasts three to four months, so most patients return three or four times a year. For example, a full upper-face treatment of about 100 units costs $750 plus HST ($847.50 in total). Three treatments a year comes to roughly $2,540, or about $210 per month.
Treating only one area, such as frown lines, can cost much less. Your injector will help you prioritize the areas that matter most to you.
What Affects Your Number of Units
• Muscle strength: stronger muscles, often seen in men, need more units.
• Facial anatomy: a taller forehead or wider brow needs more coverage.
• Your goal: a "frozen" look needs more product than soft, natural movement.
• Treatment history: first-time patients may start conservatively and adjust at a follow-up.

How many units of Dysport do I need for my forehead?
Most people need 20 to 50 units of Dysport for forehead lines. The exact dose depends on the height of your forehead, the strength of your muscles and how much natural movement you want to keep.
Why does Dysport need more units than Botox?

Treating the frown lines, forehead and crow's feet together often takes around 100 units of Dysport, although some patients need more or fewer. At Vanish Clinic, 100 units cost $750 plus HST.
How long does Dysport last?
Dysport usually lasts three to four months. Many patients book treatments three or four times a year to maintain their results. With regular treatments, some people find their results last a little longer over time.
