NewSkin Clinic to offer Dysport: a new Wrinkle in Anti-Aging Treatments

June 19, 2009 - PRLog -- NewSkin Clinic, innovators of “Skin Fitness” -- a concept that promotes skin health in conjunction with physical health, fitness, and nutrition -- announced today that they are now offering Dysport, recently FDA approved for the cosmetic reduction and prevention of wrinkles on the face.

“It works like Botox. It lasts as long as Botox. It has the same safety profile as Botox. But it is less expensive than Botox,” says Robert J. Swanson, MD, FACS, board-certified surgeon who founded and is Medical Director of the NewSkin Clinics.  “Dysport is one of Medicis' anti aging products.  We have other Medici products in our palette of treatments including their dermal fillers Restylane and Perlane.”

Initial reports suggest that Dysport may act quicker than Botox. Botox takes three to five days to work, while Dysport seems to work within one to two days. In some cases, wrinkles begin to fade as soon as 24 hours after Dysport treatment. This rapid response could be the deciding factor for  women and men who want to quickly improve their appearance before a social event or meeting.

Dysport may also last longer than Botox; for up to six months or even one year, as opposed to about three months for Botox.

Used in patient care in the United Kingdom since 1991, Dysport markets in 76 countries for therapeutic use and in 27 countries for aesthetic use. Patient exposure is estimated to be above two million single treatment cycles, representing more than 600,000 patients per year of treatment.
