Does Dysport Take Longer to See Results or Did It Not Work for Me?

I had a Dysport treatment 7 days ago without any results. I am a 37 year old male and this was my first injection. I keep reading that results are supposed to happen within the first 48 hrs. I have strong corrugator muscles, would this slow the results?

While Dysport does start working within 48-72 hours, it really takes almost 2 weeks to see maximum results.  I would wait at least 2 weeks before you decide if it worked or not.  Sometimes you may need a little touch up if your muscles are really strong, and men have stronger muscles than women.  It is much easier to go back and add a little more if needed, than to do too much the first time.  I would rather be conservative with my patients.

Is There a Dysport Rebate?

One of my friends was telling me she heard something about a Dysport rebate similar to what Botox has done in the past. Is this true that a Dysport rebate is being offered right now?

The company who makes Dysport (Medicis) is offering a $75 rebate after your first Dysport treatment, and another $75 cash back rebate after your second Dysport treatment, for a total of $150 in rebates.  The first and second treatment must be spaced at least 3 months apart, and you need a receipt from the physician where you had your treatment to mail in.  Your dermatologist should be able to give you all of the details.  My patients have been receiving their rebates in the mail and are very excited about them!

When is Dysport FDA Approval Expected?

When is the Dysport launch supposed to happen?  Are they still waiting for FDA approval?  When is Dysport approval expected?

FDA approval was obtained for Dysport in April of 2009.  I have used it on hundreds of patients for facial wrinkles and feel that is a very safe alternative to Botox.
