SCHERERVILLE, IN, November 04, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- DYSPORT, an FDA-approved treatment for certain types of wrinkles, is now available from the offices of Indiana plastic surgeon Dr. Gus Galante (www.galantemd.com). Also known as Reloxin, DYSPORT uses the same botulinum toxin as BOTOX Cosmetic, but in a new formulation that allows for faster and potentially more thorough correction of problems like "crow's feet" and frown lines.

"I'm very excited to be able to offer a treatment that's proving its worth and delivering real results," says Dr. Galante. "I aim to give my patients the best options, whether we're talking about a traditional face lift or nonsurgical options like BOTOX in Indiana. This new option gives me another choice to provide my patients the look they seek."

DYSPORT, which has been available in Europe for years, was approved by the FDA as a treatment to correct certain facial wrinkles. DYSPORT relaxes specific muscles to smooth wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions such as frowning and smiling, giving patients a more positive and refreshed appearance. Unlike BOTOX, DYSPORT typically takes effect within just 1 or 2 days and permeates tissues more thoroughly, allowing it to correct a broader treatment area with just one injection.

"I'm particularly pleased with how long the treatment can last," Dr. Galante notes. "Depending on the patient and the treatment site, DYSPORT can achieve results for 4 to 6 months, in many cases a few months longer than other botulinum toxin based treatments. This gives a patient more time to look younger and feel younger in between treatments."

While Dr. Galante expects many patients to opt for the new DYSPORT, he cautions that in some cases BOTOX or even an Indiana face lift might be a more appropriate option, and patients need to choose a qualified doctor to help them determine which approach will fit their needs.

"The more options out there, the more critical it is for patients to choose a doctor with experience," Dr. Galante notes. "I tell my patients not to just count on a brand name to get good results. A skilled doctor has the training to understand how the face changes over time, and can adjust the treatment based on a number of factors to achieve natural-looking results."

Dr. Gus Galante (www.galantemd.com) is a board-certified Indiana plastic surgeon providing a full spectrum of cosmetic enhancement procedures ranging from nonsurgical "injectable face lifts" to breast enhancements and complex combination plastic surgery procedures. After receiving his medical doctorate from Indiana University, Dr. Galante trained through general and plastic surgery residencies at the Loyola University Medical Center and completed an additional fellowship in aesthetic surgery and reconstructive breast surgery. Dr. Galante's offices are located in Schererville and Valparaiso, Indiana, and he serves patients from all over Northwest Indiana.
