It’s the perfect time to try Dysport if you’ve been considering it for your frown lines because the Dysport Challenge—going on through September—could save you up to $150. Since the challenge started in March over 100,000 patients have registered for the challenge, according to Medicis, maker of Dysport.
The way the challenge works is that patients who try Dypsort save $75. After the procedure, if they select that they “love it” they can get a rebate for $75 off their next Dysport injection. If they choose “leave it” then they get a $75 rebate off another get another botulinum toxin type A product, such as Botox.
Over 90 percent of the over 22,000 patients who took the challenge between March 1 and May 9, 2010, chose “love it,” according to Medicis. Less than 3 percent of all registrants have made a selection to “leave it” since the program started.
“We are pleased to announce this tremendous support by both physicians and patients for the Dysport Challenge,” said Jonah Shacknai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Medicis, which also markets dermal fillers Restylane and Perlane. “Medicis made a bold statement of confidence in the brand by offering patients the opportunity to try Dysport and save up to $150 total.”
Approved by the FDA in April 2009, Dysport can treat severe frown lines between the eyebrows and is the first botulinum toxin competitor to Botox in the United States to receive approval. Dysport works much like Botox, using botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax wrinkles. Dysport blocks the chemical triggers that cause specific facial muscles to contract, which allows wrinkles to flatten out.
The Dysport Challenge is open to patients 18 and older and full details are available at www.DysportUSA.com.
Dr. Heffernan’s Seattle cosmetic surgery practice offers both Dysport and Botox.
