Dysport Injection for Wrinkles:
The New Botulinum A available now at The Maas Clinic
BOTOX® Cosmetic, a trade name for the group of naturally occurring proteins, has become a well-recognized brand amongst patients and even people who have never considered wrinkle improvement treatments. Now, Dysport™ is positioned to become an effective competitor for the non=invasive treatment of facial lines and angry expressions. Dr. Maas and the team at The Maas Clinic are pleased to offer this exciting new product as a treatment option for our patients.
Dr. Maas and a team of expert scientists designed the clinical trials that lead to the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of this Dysport™. The team at The Maas Clinic participated in the clinical trials beginning in 2003 looking at the safety and effectiveness of the product over this time period with thousands of treatments and long-term follow-up of treated patients.
With this experience, there appear to be advantages over BOTOX® Cosmetic in some patients, namely slightly earlier onset of action (most patients notice improvement in 2 days) and, more importantly, in many patients, the duration of wrinkle and frown reduction can be longer.
For patients that have been treated for wrinkles with BOTOX® Cosmetic, the treatment with Dysport™ will be a similar. In our extensive experience with Dysport™ at The Maas Clinic most patients treated with the product have reported that the treatment was identical to their treatment experience with BOTOX® Cosmetic. One of our staff members in the trial had previously had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments lasting the normal 3-4 months. With the Dysport™ treatment our staff member had persistent wrinkle and frown reduction for 8 months. Not all patients will experience this greater treatment longevity and some patients who receive BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments can have long durations of effect. Many patients will prefer to stay with the reliability and brand of BOTOX® Cosmetic, which has proven to be a tremendous product over time. We are pleased to offer both great products in our office and with the largest experience in this country using Dysport™ we feel confident that patients will be pleased with their results.
We have posted the published BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport™ Scientific papers that I authored with other experts around the country on our website and I encourage everyone to look them over and ask questions. At the Maas Clinic we are available to answer your questions and provide you with the very best in options for injectable, non-invasive and effective treatments for facial aging, frown lines and refreshing your appearance.
