Patient 1 - I looked in the mirror and I was surprised, pleasantly so.
Reporter - A few weeks ago, fifty-eight year old Michael Melione tried a new alternative to Botox, called Dysport. He was counting on subtracting the eleven's, those lines between his eyebrows.
Patient 1 - The lines in between my eyebrows are much softer, not as pronounced and I think maybe even if I get some more it will go away totally.
Reporter - Katie also used Dysport with similar results.
Patient 2 - I had four lines originally. The next morning two were completely gone, three and four were very faint.
Reporter - Facial plastic surgeon Jacob Steiger says so far the feedback has been positive from his patients.
Dr. Steiger - What's impressive with the product is that after twenty-four or even forty-eight hours people have seen a nice result.
Reporter - Botox often takes seven to ten days to see results and some patients have reported side effects. Kim Sweers knows first hand after three separate Botox injections.
Patient 3 - Didn't last long. Little droopy eyelids.
Reporter - So Kim tried Dysport and says she hasn't had any negative effects.
Patient 3 - Not only puff the skin, but stop the wrinkles around my eyes and my forehead as well. It really met all my expectations and more.
Reporter - That's why Dr. Steiger believes Dysport will be turning back the hands of time for many years to come.
Dr. Steiger - As a facial plastic surgeon there's a new tool in my chest of tools that I can use to help fight aging.
Reporter - Now Botox and Dysport are nearly the same on biochemical level there are some minor differences that according to Dr. Steiger creates a marketplace for both products.
