Botox®/Dysport
Botox/Dysport is one of the most popular treatments on the aesthetic market as it uses an FDA-approved botulinum toxin formula to smooth wrinkles.
Botox®
To help turn back the hands of time and to avoid lines and wrinkles from occurring on the upper section of the face, Hebe Medical Spa in Fishkill, NY is pleased to offer Botox/Dysport. This non-surgical treatment offers gorgeous results and is extremely popular among both men and women. This injectable can make a big improvement to dynamic lines and wrinkles, which are created by making expressions with the contracting muscles on the upper face. These facial lines go away when the face is relaxed, but dynamic lines can still remain. This muscle relaxer is a filtered strain of type A botulinum toxin that temporarily freezes the movements of the muscle. To correct these static lines, Botox/Dysport is carefully injected to soften the skin. Botox/Dysport is most commonly administered between the brows, around the eyes (Crow’s feet), and along the forehead.
Ideal Candidates
Botox/Dysport injections are ideal for patients who want to smooth the visible look of dynamic lines on their upper face nonsurgically. Botox/Dysport is also used as a preventive anti-aging treatment, even if you are younger — keep in mind how often you find yourself making facial expressions. It is a great, noninvasive approach if you have forehead wrinkles or noticeable furrows between the brows. It is also a solution for lines that form around the eyes. If you experience more severe and deeper lines, an injectable filler may be recommended.
Procedure Technique
Botox/Dysport injections are performed at Hebe Medical Spa as an outpatient procedure. If this is your first visit to our Latham, NY clinic for Botox, we may be able to provide the treatment on the same day as your initial consultation with us. To assist us to determine where the injections should be placed, you will be asked to create different emotions with your upper face, such as frowning, squinting, smiling, and so on. A small needle will be used to inject the Dysport/Botox into the face, which will be followed by a cold compress to assist reduce any pain, swelling, or bruising. A numbing cream can be requested to make the process more comfortable, however, it is typically not required. Botox/Dysport treatments usually last 10 to 15 minutes.

In most cases, it takes around one week before the final results of Botox or Dysport are visible. The results typically last 3 – 4 months.

If you’re using BOTOX before wrinkles are visible for a proactive measure, you can schedule appointments further apart. After hearing your concerns and creating your BOTOX plan, we will be better able to tell you when you should make your next visit.
What's The Difference Between Wrinkle relaxers and Fillers?
Injectable wrinkle relaxers (including BOTOX) and injectable wrinkle fillers (including Restylane and Juvéderm) are both popular cosmetic procedures that decrease wrinkles and correct fine lines. BOTOX works by relaxing overused muscles in your face that create dynamic wrinkles, including frown lines (which appear between your eyebrows), Crow’s feet (which appear in the outer edges of your eyes), smile lines, and forehead wrinkles.
Dermal fillers increase volume below the skin to correct depressions and improve the appearance of wrinkles on the surface. Depending on your goals, Dr. Zainab may suggest BOTOX, injectable fillers, or a “liquid facelift,” which combines both.
Is Botox Safe?
As long as it is administered correctly, BOTOX should not cause serious complications. However, it’s still very important to find someone with experience injecting BOTOX. Too much of the product may cause bad results. An experienced doctor will apply the right dose to safely relax the facial muscles causing the unwanted wrinkles without affecting nearby muscles. Quickly becoming one of the most requested cosmetic treatments, it is considered safe and has earned approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Along with its cosmetic uses, BOTOX can also be used as a treatment for medical conditions, such as excessive sweating, facial spasms, migraines, and uncontrollable blinking.
