Patients can take advantage of up to $150 in savings on Dysport. Those who register can save $75 when they try Dysport, which is used to treat frown lines. If they “love it” they receive a rebate for $75 off their next Dysport treatment. If they “leave it” they’ll get a $75 rebate off another botulinum toxin type A product, such as Botox.

When the challenge began in March, the New York Times noted that it is “thought to be the first time a drug maker has offered a rebate on a competing drug [Botox].” Jonah Shacknai, the chief executive of Medicis, who markets Dysport, said, “We are so confident that we are literally willing to bet our money that patients will love their Dysport treatment.”

The bet seems to have paid off: between March 1 and May 9, 2010, over 91 percent of 22,416 patients who made a selection chose “Love It,” according to Medicis; so far, only 2.6 percent of registered patients have made a selection to “Leave It.”

Dysport, which was approved by the FDA in April 2009 to treat severe frown lines between the eyebrows, works much like Botox, using botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax wrinkles. Dysport smooths out facial lines and wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses that travel to specific muscles in the face.

“We are encouraged by the overwhelming response to the Dysport Challenge with over 100,000 patients participating, and the strong acceptance of the brand by physicians,” wrote Shacknai, in a recent earnings report.

The Dysport Challenge  is open to patients 18 and older and complete details are at www.DysportUSA.com. Inland Cosmetic Surgery in Rancho Cucamonga, California offers both Dysport and Botox procedures.

A Liquid Face lift will rejuvenate the skin to achieve a refreshed and younger look without the expense or downtime of a traditional facelift.  At Inland Cosmetic Surgery we provide expert injections by our experienced and highly trained Surgeons and Physicians’ Assistant.  The Liquid Face Lift replaces lost volume in the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and corrects deep creases in the nasolabial folds and frown line area.  These new generation, long-lasting wrinkle fillers stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone while rejuvenating the skin.

There are various wrinkle fillers that can be used and each Liquid Face Lift is personalized to meet the patient’s needs and provide the best result possible:

• Radiesse is a long-lasting wrinkle filler that instantly adds volume and smoothes the skin while stimulating collagen production.   Radiesse is commonly used for cheeks and jaw line as well as hallows around the eyes.
• Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane can be used for enhancing the lips, correcting deep nasal labial folds, restoring the eye area.
• Botox or Dysport is used to treat wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes, to slightly lift the eyebrows, and to treat crow’s feet.

When you’re in competition with young adults fresh out of college, who often accept a significantly lower wage, you need to present yourself in the best possible light.  To get an advantage, many job seekers  turn to their hair stylist for a new look, or their local cosmetic surgeon for Botox or Dysport.

Botox is the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure in the country.  According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 5 million treatments were done last year.  The cost of a single treatment will vary, and it pays to keep an eye out for monthly specials and events.

If you are going for treatments prior to a job interview, give yourself at least 7 days to heal and let the treatment take effect. Remember, doing well on an interview is not only about how you look, but whether you exude confidence about yourself and your ability to do the job.
