| FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Galderma has launched Face for Change, a program designed to make a positive impact in communities around the country. This purpose-driven program, in partnership with Dress for Success and The Skin Cancer Foundation, will allow users of Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) for injection to give back with each treatment received.
Starting January 19, 2021, and ending February 28, 2021, for every patient who receives a facial aesthetic treatment with Dysport® from a licensed healthcare provider in accordance with the product’s FDA-approved indication and labeling that is recorded by the healthcare provider in the ASPIRE Galderma Rewards loyalty program, Galderma will contribute $100 to either Dress for Success** or The Skin Cancer Foundation***, depending on office location. Dysport® is indicated for the temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age. “At Galderma, we care deeply for people and for the communities in which we operate. We have an essential role to play in giving back, which is why we are proud to announce the launch of our Face for Change program,” said Alisa Lask, Vice President & General Manager at Galderma. “Now when a consumer chooses Dysport®, they are choosing to look good, feel goodi and do good!” Studies have shown that 95% of subjects treated with Dysport® achieved high levels of satisfaction with two treatments per yeari, and 97% of subjects thought the result of the treatment looked naturali****. The combination of patient satisfaction alongside this initiative’s community impact is a noteworthy component of Galderma’s guiding corporate principles. “We are delighted by the launch of Galderma’s Face for Change initiative,” said Deborah S. Sarnoff, MD, President of Skin Cancer Foundation. “It is encouraging to see leading organizations give back to their communities in a meaningful way, particularly during these unprecedented times. We appreciate their support of our mission to save and improve lives through skin cancer education.” “Our mission at Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing support that will help them thrive in work and in life,” said Joi Gordon, Chief Executive Officer at Dress for Success. “That is why we are proud to be a part of Galderma’s Face for Change, an initiative that similarly seeks to give back to our communities and empower those around us.” *Please see full Important Safety Information, including Distant Spread of Toxin Effect Boxed Warning, at the end of this release For more information about Face for Change or to sign up for ASPIRE Galderma Rewards, visit https://www.aspirerewards.com/login-faceforchange.

Symptoms can happen hours to weeks after injection and may include swallowing and breathing problems, loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, or loss of bladder control. Swallowing and breathing problems can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. You are at the highest risk if these problems are pre–existing before injection.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you have surgical changes to your face, very weak muscles in the treatment area, any abnormal facial change, injection site inflammation, droopy eyelids or sagging eyelid folds, deep facial scars, thick oily skin, wrinkles that can’t be smoothed by spreading them apart, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal and other natural products. Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines while taking Dysport without talking to your doctor first. Especially tell your doctor if you: have received any other botulinum toxin product, such as Myobloc® (rimabotulinumtoxinB), Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA), or Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA), in the last four months or any in the past (be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received, have recently received an antibiotic by injection, take muscle relaxants, take an allergy or cold medicine, or take a sleep medicine.
