New Wrinkle Treatment Approved

Here’s great news if you’re looking for an alternative wrinkle treatment.

FDA Approves New Wrinkle Treatment reports:

“Dysport (formerly known as Reloxin) is made from the same active ingredient as Botox (made by Allergan), Clostridium botulinim toxin type A. Botulinum toxins temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles by restricting the muscle actions that cause creasing and frown lines.

Like Botox, Dysport is administered via an injection at the site of forehead wrinkles. According to Ipsen Biopharm Ltd., which makes Dysport, the FDA based its approval on clinical trials involving about 2,900 people at 80 study sites.”

Over 90 per cent of the people in the study reported an improvement; however, there are side effects, including headaches and pain at the site of the injection.
