New challenger to Botox

Botulinum toxin A is one of the most popular injectable cosmetic treatment in the U.S. today. For years, Botox Cosmetic has been the only FDA approved botulinum toxin type A used for cosmetic indications. Today, Dysport offers patients an alternative botulinum toxin type A for treating facial hyperdynamic lines. While both are botulinum toxin type A, a recent study suggests Dysport may be more effective in treating the Crow’s feet. This study, conducted by the Maas Clinic in San Francisco, was presented at the American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive surgery meeting in Boston in 2010.

Anecdotally, some report Dysport may last longer than Botox and has a better smoothing effect. This potential may make Dysport a more attractive option for some. If you’re a fan of Botox, it is reasonable to try Dysport & see if it works better.
