Because they are composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the human body, these fillers require no allergy test prior to treatment and they have been proven safe and effective for more than a decade.

A New Type of BOTOX?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

SmoothSkinHave you heard about the new alternative to BOTOX®? Made from the same active ingredient as BOTOX, Dysport® is now available from LaFerriere and Kienstra Facial Plastic surgery. Like BOTOX, Dysport works by freezing the muscles used when you frown. This new wrinkle treatment is made from the same protein as BOTOX but results are reported to last longer. Because the Dysport treatment spreads further than BOTOX, it is useful for treating larger areas and requires fewer injections. For more information about Dysport or to schedule your consultation, call us at 417-887-FACE.
