Two and a half million Americans got Botox injected last year to smoothe out wrinkles in their foreheads, between eye brows and erase dreaded crows feet. But a new drug has just been released that may be its new competitor, and we take a look to see how it measures up.
Lisa Bailey has been contemplating getting Botox for over a year now. She says, "I would like to get rid of those lines and have a more natural look." But she was hesitant, knowing one side effect of Botox is having a 'frozen appearance'. But a brand new products is trying to fix that. Lisa says, "What sparked my interest in Dysport it's more of a natural look."
Dr. Jeffrey Adelglass, of Skintatic, is onw of the first doctors in the nation to try it out on patients, after it was approved by the FDA a month ago, although it's already being used in Europe. He says, "The FDA was very slow and laborous to approve this because they wanted to make sure that they were not many serious adverse events." Botox has been on the market now for 7 years and Dysport is the first competitor, so now the battle to beauty is going wrinkle to wrinkle with more products that offer beautiful, more younger looking skin.
Both drugs are Botlism A and work similarly to relax muscles, but Dysport promises quicket results, that last longer and is about 20 percent cheaper than Botox. Dr. Adelglass says, "It's other main difference is it has a larger area of effect, 12:59:47and what that means it could potentially give you a natural look as it spreads throughout for example the forehead or other larger areas." Despite a recent FDA warning that Botlism could spread beyond the injection site, leading to poisoning, they still released the drug, but added a black box label. Dr. Adelglass says, "And although these are possible and have been seen in patients who have larger amounts, it's extremely rare when you're doing smaller amounts for cosmetic reasons." The botulism scare didn't seem to deter Enrique Echaniz. He says, "I'm sure I'm not the first guinea pig here so I'm sure the body can break it down and get rid of it." He was willing to give Dysport a try to erase his '11's'. He says, "They're almost permanent now they're so deep when I frown, when I relax you can still see them." And while long term effects of the drug are still unknown, Dr. Adelglass's office keeps filling up, with patients aspiring to look younger. Enrique says, "If I do see the results that I expect I will probably come back, see Dr. Adelglass and keep it up."
