Atlanta Dysport
Fall Back in Love with Your Look with Savings on Dysport® and Restylane®
If you’re looking for a way to treat yourself this February, look no further than Dermatology Associates of Atlanta. Beginning February 1st through March 31st, 2012 patients interested in smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead and eyes can receive $50 OFF on one Dysport® treatment by mail-in rebate (see details at www.dysportusa.com to learn more). Dysport® works by relaxing the muscles in the forehead and eyebrows that, through repeated facial expressions, cause wrinkles.
If you’re looking to enhance your pucker or pout during the season of love, you’ll be interested in our savings on Restylane®. Recently approved for lip enhancement in patients over age 21, Restylane® can also help to refill areas in the face that have lost volume over time like the lips and cheeks. Similar to Restylane®, Perlane® uses larger gel particles to fill in deeper wrinkles like marionette lines or nasolabial folds around the mouth. February 1st through March 31st, 2012 we are offering patients $40 off each milliliter of Restylane® (2 mL min, 9 mL max, including up to 1.5 mL per lip) and $50 off each milliliter of Perlane® (1 mL min, 6 mL max) for a potential of up to $360 in savings (also by rebate, visit www.restylaneusa.com for more details).
Make sure to mark your calendar for these excellent savings beginning February 1st through March 31st! Visit the manufacturer’s websites listed above for more details, and feel free to contact us with any questions and to schedule your appointment.

Avoiding Rare Complication of Botox and Dysport: Eyelid Drooping
The wrinkle eliminating dermal injectables Botox® and Dysport® have gained droves of faithful injectors since their FDA approval less than a decade ago. The beauty of the products is their ability to, relatively painlessly; eliminate facial wrinkles and furrows like crow’s feet with a few quick injections. Despite the dramatic results many patients report, there are some rare side effects (and ways to avoid them) that Botox® and Dysport® users should be aware of.
Drooping eyelid(s) are a rare, but occasionally reported, side effect of dermal injections. Both Botox® and Dysport® work by relaxing the muscle to which they are injected through Botulinum Type A (a purified toxin.) The “relaxation” results in a decreased appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but can also result in the over-relaxation of untargeted muscles: like those that control the opening and closing of the eyelid. The best way to avoid this type of complication is to only entrust the work of a properly certified injector.
A qualified professional will know the correct amount of product to use during the procedure. Because every patient’s anatomy is different, understanding exactly which muscles to treat and how much of the syringe-stored product to administer is key in avoiding over injection which could lead to eyelid drooping. Most of DAA’s certified, experienced physicians and providers perform an average of 1,000 Botox® and Dysport® injections annually.
Also important is the provider’s prescribed aftercare direction. Dermal injection patients should try to remain standing and active immediately following the procedures. Patients who lay down immediately after injection increase their chances of having the relaxing agent settling into surrounding muscle.
But patients should take heart, unlike more permanent methods of facial rejuvenation, (i.e.-eye lid surgery (blepharoplasty), chemical peel, or laser resurfacing) dermal injections must be repeated every 4-6 months as the products’ muscle relaxing active ingredient (Botulinum A) is eventually eliminated by the body. Therefore, in the rare event mild drooping does occur, the effects are temporary.
