In late April of 2009 Dysport, a new drug for the treatment of wrinkles and excessive sweating, gained FDA approval. Dysport, which is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, was originally used to treat far more serious conditions. It was used to treat problems with the neck's alignment, muscle spasms, and even cerebral palsy. But since then doctors have discovered that it can also provide amazing benefits in the area of wrinkle removal. Many doctors followed Dysport's progress through the FDA approval process.

For years people have known about a drug called Botox. Dysport is very similar to Botox but with some notable differences. Both treatments are injected into the facial muscles, and both will get rid of wrinkles. But Dysport is less likely to cause a patient to have an allergic reaction. And another important difference is likely to interest doctor and patient alike: Dysport is cheaper.

Actors and models aren't the only people who will benefit from Dysport's arrival. Because it is supposed to be cheaper than earlier forms of wrinkle treatments, patients won't necessarily have to be rich and famous to afford treatment. Dysport might have appeal to a much larger crowd.

During trials of Dysport doctors found that a single injection of Dysport treats a larger area than a single shot of Botox. This means that the already cheaper Dysport could be cheaper still. And while patients say that Dysport treatment isn't that painful, fewer injections would cause even less pain.

It takes a few days for the Dysport to take effect, but eventually the wrinkles fade. This is because the muscles that received the injections are no longer able to contract. However the nearby muscles function as normal. This means that the muscles that cause the unwanted wrinkles next to and under the eyes no longer contract, but the muscles that control the eyelids and eyebrows continue to operate as always.

Because the Dysport treatment involves injections it is necessary to seek the services of a licensed professional. And it shouldn't be difficult to locate an experienced professional since a similar treatment, Botox, has been around for several years. Prior to the FDA approval many doctors cautioned their colleagues to remember that Dysport should be administered in smaller injections than Botox. Many doctors in the field of cosmetic surgery have eagerly awaited the final approval of Dysport.

As with any medical procedure, patients need to be aware of the possibility of side effects. While it is rare, some patients can have an allergic reaction to the bacterial substance in Dysport.

Virtually all doctors have applauded the introduction of this new drug. They say that Dysport will be a benefit to everyone seeking to erase facial wrinkles. Many also believe that added competition in the marketplace will lower prices and increase the popularity of treatment.
