The Battle for Wrinkle King Continues: Dysport on The Doctors

Dysport, a new wrinkle fighter, is giving BOTOX a pretty good fight too.

Dysport was FDA approved for use in the US earlier this year and has become a very popular treatment. Dysport uses a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which when used in the appropriate dosage, temporarily paralyzes key muscles in the face. The muscles cannot move and cannot form wrinkles, greatly reducing their appearance. Dysport is the first FDA approved drug of its type to compete with BOTOX, which also uses the botulinum toxin.

Dr. Drew Ordon of "The Doctors" discusses the treatment on today's episode and discusses what the difference is and if one is better than the other. He states that, according to the manufacturer, Dysport acts quicker and is less painful. He does caution though that people respond differently to Dysport and BOTOX so it is best to discuss your options with your doctor. dysport before and after
