AbobotulinumtoxinA Trumps OnabotulinumtoxinA At Smoothing Crow's Feet Wrinkles.
MedPage Today (6/20, Bankhead) reported, "Crow's feet responded significantly better to treatment with abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport) than with onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox)," according to an article published online June 20 in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery. In a study of 90 patients, 77 of which were women, doctors "and patients alike rated the cosmetic results of Dysport superior to those of the comparator (P=0.01, P=0.03, respectively)." What's more, "patients favored the Dysport-treated side of the face by a 2:1 margin during the 30-day split-face trial."
HealthDay (6/20, Mozes) reported that Allergan, the maker of Botox, "issued a statement Monday that challenged the findings on several grounds, which included the small size of the study, the short length of the trial and, most importantly, the dosing ratio the researchers used when deciding how much of each product to use on the patients' faces." Dermatologist Doris Day, MD, of New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital, who was not involved in the study, "also cautioned that the attempt to analytically stack two 'very similar' drugs against one another can pose difficulties." She pointed out, however, that "both drugs are FDA-approved and have good safety track records to date."

These two rival treatments work great, but there are people that have great results using botox and others using Dyport.
ReplyDeleteFor example, the number of people having Toronto botox treatments is increasing constantly while people are not so attracted of Dyport.
I had no idea Dysport treats crow's feet better than botox....and I'm sure there are more like me.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe the main reason why people stick with botox is that such a treatment can provide great results so why to change something that works.
For example I did a Toronto botox treatment a year ago and my result was over my expectations. So a patient like me won't experience a new procedure if the one he did works great....
