Q: I heard there is a new Botox. Is this true and should I use this instead of Botox?
A: There is a new FDA approved medication for wrinkles called Dysport. Most articles
I have read and colleagues whom I speak with claim that Dysport migrates further
than Botox after injection. This can be either an advantage or a disadvantage
depending on the site of injection. There are no standard doses for Dysport since it
is relatively new and Botox is still considered the Gold Standard treatment for
dynamic rhytids or wrinkles.
