“Advances in Cosmetic Therapy: A Focus on BoNT-A”

This medical position paper written in March 2010, “Advances in Cosmetic Therapy: A Focus on BoNT-A”, is a recent discussion By Drs. Kane & Monheit on the effects of Botox vs Dysport. In this paper, they reference Dr. Macdonald’s original pioneering work in his study of BoNT-A in which he sets the standards for the most effective treatment with BoNT-A that have been followed by doctors for 15 years since his research. The excerpt of the article contained herein references Dr. Macdonald’s study from 1995 (published in 1998) which speaks to the differences in injecting in men vs. women. This highlights the importance of seeking such BoNT-A wrinkle reduction treatment (with either Botox or Dysport) from a physician/surgeon who’s intimately familiar with the anatomical make-up of the face in both males and females.

Inside Out” Live Talk Show Interview With Diane Wagner Cable Channel 28, October 2005
  Dr. Michael Macdonald was featured on Ms. Wagner’s local talk show. In this segment, he specifically talked about the “48-Hour Facelift” procedure. During the interview, Dr. Macdonald expressed how much of a huge success this procedure is, particularly in patients who are not ready for or who are seeking an alternative to a traditional facelift. The “48-Hour Facelift” addresses areas that have been difficult to address in the past that were due to subtle but significant signs of aging, such as pronounced nasolabial folds (between the sides of the nose and the corners of the mouth) and hollowness in midface/cheek areas. With its rapid recovery time and much smaller incisions, hidden well above the hairline, it is very well suited to an active, younger patient with early signs of facial aging.
