The first real Botox competitor, Dysport, is finally reaching plastic surgeons’ offices here in the U.S. We received our first shipment this week and I’m excited to bring this product to my patients. Like Botox, it’s a Botulinum Toxin Type A and is FDA-approved to temporarily reducing the wrinkles in the glabella (frown lines). Doctors also use it off-label to treat wrinkles of the forehead and crows feet. It costs a little less than Botox, so hopefully it can provide an economic bailout for the 4 million+ Botox users across the country! Some people believe it works a bit quicker than Botox, although this can be disputed. To try it, call your local board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
Thanks for reading.
