Move Over Botox, There’s a New Cowboy in Town Called Dysport

Posted by on Jul 14, 2009 in Health & Beauty

I poised the question to Dr. Michael Stephanides and Dr. Carla Retief, “OK, tell me the truth, why do you think so many people use Botox? (And they do!) Dr. Retief didn’t hold back, “One, it works. And two, it works fast.”  Dr. Stephanides was more contemplative. “Well, we live in a society where our culture says youth is beautiful; cosmetic procedures, including Botox, can provide love, happiness and success in life.”  Gulp.

Botulism Toxins, and now, Dysport, a different cocktail of Botulism: can they be the source for all that feel good, look good, be good verbiage being spouted about?  Well, for many, (o.k. I’m closing my eyes as I write this next word) yes.  I’ve opened my eyes.  Oh, good, I’m not in Hell.  Since I’m still here, can I get $100 off?  Well, yes!  Keep reading and so can you!

Now, you may want to get on a pedestal and tell us why the world has gone mad for having two injectable options to temporarily “cure” wrinkles, but I’m betting that most of you are intrigued.  We are.  And let’s face it, these procedures are becoming more accepted everyday.  Now, the question seems to be more often than not, “Does she (or he), or doesn’t she?”

Here is an interesting article from the Huffington Post on Dysport:  The Huffington Post

Ladies, if you have ever thought you may want to try some wrinkle reliever now is your chance.  Dr.s Stephanides and Retief are introducing Dysport to Nashville.  It has been in the UK for years and offers the exact same benefits as Botox.  In fact, it’s the same price.  But here is the good news:  Dysport will give Botox a run for its money with the end result being lower prices for you all the way around.

Both Dr.s Stephanides and Retief are sold on the restorative qualities of Dysport and are heartily promoting Dysport to Nashvillians.  Around the water cooler, there’s been some discussion that Dysport actually work faster and longer than Botox.

The great thing about booking an appointment with them is they are multi-taskers big time.  Let’s say you want a brow lift but look down and say, “Oh, I may want a quick tummy tuck.”  Working together they can do both procedures at the same time to help lower the cost to you.  Pretty good concept, don’t ya’ think?  O.R. time adds up and less time in there (as in two procedures at once) means less money out of your pocket.

StyleBlueprint readers are exclusively invited to stop by the Open House tonight at 6PM (see attached invite).

Here is the inside scoop on the party: great hor’dourves, incredible specialty cocktail called the Southern Beauty and champagne bar and Best of All:

This party promises to be a good time in the dog days of summer, we promise.

All of my daughters said, “You should try it.”  Liza’s five year old son said to her recently, while running his finger across her forehead, “I am trying to smooth out those hills on your forehead so you won’t look so angry!”  Yikes!   The StyleBlueprint gals just may be ready for a new adventure, are you?

    Went in for mole check. Asked Carla Retief's opinion regarding an upcoming laser procedure at another center. She asked what my goal was and persuaded me to let her do lipo on my neck/chin area. This area is now permanently disfigured. She tried correcting with Meso therapy. TN Medical Statue of limitation is only 1 year. Wrote her a final certified letter after visiting plastic surgeons [it will take up to $9K to correct] and the finding of this lipo procedure done incorrectly. Never heard back from her. Dermatology – Yes, Lipo – NO!
