Dear friends,

This is a time of extraordinary circumstances. COVID-19 is a global issue that affects us all, and on behalf of the Facial Rejuvenation Center team, my heart goes out to everyone who is experiencing uncertainty, anxiety, illness, or any other hardships right now. Whatever you may be going through, you are not alone.

Our doctors, nurses and medical experts are the heroes of this new reality. I encourage you to follow their advice by staying home. I know that not everyone is able to do that, but if you are able to practice social distancing, please do. While inconvenient, this decision will literally save lives by mitigating the spread of the virus.

At the Facial Rejuvenation Center we take the threat posed by the Covid-19 virus very seriously and are totally committed to protecting the health and well-being of you, our valued patients, as well as our team. Through the direction of our Mayor, we will be closed March 23 – April 7th. We are available by telephone if you would like to schedule a future appointment.

I hope to see you soon . . . Laurie

Dysport

This injectable treatment for wrinkles is made from the same neurotoxin (botulinum toxin type A) as BOTOX®. Dysport (formally Reloxin) received the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a wrinkle treatment in the spring of 2009, like BOTOX®, this injectable was originally developed in the 1990s to treat neuromuscular disorders.

Dysport is injected directly into the muscles that cause facial wrinkles, temporarily immobilizing them. It specifically targets the glabullar muscles — the ones that form creases on your forehead when you frown.

Dysport diffuses a bit farther from the injection point than BOTOX®: one to three centimeters compared to BOTOX’s one centimeter. This means that fewer injections are needed.

Results begin to appear within one to seven days after treatment, with day three being the median. Dysport contains less protein than BOTOX®, so the body tends to break it down more slowly. The studies are mixed, however, about whether the results lasts longer than BOTOX®.
