Early Feedback on New Products: Dysport & Juvederm XC

So far, Dysport for me the injector, has been as easy to use as Botox with no detectable difference in my administration of the procedure (other than the 3:1 unit dosing conversion).  My patients and myself can report less contact sting of the material at the time of injection with Dysport vs. Botox.  Additionally, the onset of reduction of muscle movement appears faster (hours vs. 1 -2 days) especially in the challenging strong area between the brows (glabellar).  As far as which seems to last longer..... it is too soon to know.  Stay tuned.  There is a slightly better pricing for Dysport supply from the manufacturer which I pass on to my clients in a lower list price.

Juvederm XC flows just as nicely and there is no difference from the injector's perspective on how it fills or corrects vs. Juvederm mixed manually with Lidocaine.  The amount of pain perceived by patients appears to be even less than when mixed manually.  One patient reported a lip fill as being completely painless. More to follow as we gain further experience with these 2 products.
