Medicis' Dysport Brand Botox Beats Allergan's in Crow's Feet Wrinkles Smoothing 'Shootout.'

The top two Botox brands (made by Medicis and Allergan) ‘slapped leather’ in a shootout recently in a Right vs. Left face study of 90 people.  “The goal was to see how well each brand performed at smoothing crow’s feet wrinkles,” said Dr. Tim Rosio, fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology  and Cosmetic Surgeon of AnewSKIN Dermatology in El Dorado Hills, California.  According to an article published online June 20, 2011 in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, the doctors and patients rated the Dysport botox brand higher with extremely high statistical significance (p=0.01, and p=0.03), and patients preferred the Dysport treated side twice as often as the Allergan brand.  Dr. Rosio used both brands and regards them highly.
