Botox®/Dysport
Botox Cosmetic, which employs an FDA-approved botulinum toxin compound to smooth wrinkles, is one of the most popular treatments on the cosmetic market. Botox and Dysport treatments are available at The Hebe Medical Spa in Saratoga.
Botox® Saratoga
Hebe Medical Spa in Saratoga, NY is thrilled to provide Botox/Dysport to help turn back the hands of time and prevent lines and wrinkles on the top region of the face. This non-surgical therapy is immensely popular among both men and women because it produces stunning results. This injection can significantly alleviate dynamic lines and wrinkles, which are caused by the contraction of muscles in the upper face when making facial expressions. When the face is relaxed, these lines fade away, although dynamic lines might persist. This muscle relaxant is a filtered strain of botulinum toxin type A that momentarily stops muscular activity. To soften the skin and correct these static wrinkles, Botox/Dysport is carefully injected. Dr. Zainab Mogul-Ashraf most usually administers Botox/Dysport between the brows, around the eyes (Crow’s feet), and along the forehead.
Ideal Candidates
Botox/Dysport injections are great for people who desire a nonsurgical way to smooth the noticeable appearance of dynamic wrinkles on their upper face. Even if you’re younger, Botox/Dysport may be utilized as a preventive anti-aging therapy – keep in mind how often you make facial expressions. If you have visible furrows between your brows or forehead wrinkles, this is a fantastic non-invasive option. It can also be used to treat lines around the eyes. An injectable filler may be advised if you have more severe and deeper lines.
Procedure Technique
BOTOX injections are completed as an outpatient procedure directly at Hebe Medical Spa. If it is your first time to visit our office in Fishkill, NY to get Botox/Dysport, we may perform the treatment during the same day as your initial consultation with Dr. Zainab. You will be asked to make various expressions using your upper face, like frowning, squinting, smiling, etc., to help us to mark where the injections are to be placed. The face will be prepared and Botox/Dysport will be injected through a fine needle, followed by a cool compress to help decrease any discomfort, swelling, and bruising. You can ask for a numbing cream to help make the procedure more comfortable, but it is usually not necessary. Dysport/Botox treatments typically take around 10 – 15 minutes.

What To Expect
You can continue your normal activities after the injection, however, vigorous exertion should be avoided for at least 24 hours. You’ll be told to sleep upright for at least one night and to avoid touching your face since this might transfer the Botox/Dysport to other parts of your body. For a few days, the injected areas of your face may be bruised, red, or swollen, but no serious or long-term adverse effects should occur.
The ultimate results of Botox/Dysport usually take around a week to appear. The effects usually continue between 3–4 months. To keep your results, talk to your Dysport/Botox injector about scheduling touch-up sessions at Hebe Medical Spa.
Frequently Asked Question
How Much Does Botox Cost?
Your cost for a BOTOX treatment will be based on the amount of product that is needed. This varies to fit your unique goals. In your consultation, Dr. Zainab will create your custom treatment plan and then she can discuss cost estimates. BOTOX produces great results when injected by an experienced cosmetic professional, like Dr. Zainab.
However, it can also be dangerous if performed by someone who doesn’t have experience, which is why you should avoid any place that is advertising discounted or off-brand injections. If you’d like to save money, ask for more information on the Brilliant Distinctions Rewards Program, which allows you to earn points for BOTOX treatments and other products from Allergan, including Juvéderm.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The results from BOTOX may be visible for as long as four months. Usually, patients schedule an appointment every quarter to refresh their results; however, you may want to come back earlier. 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, Dr. Zainab 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, like Dr. Zainab. 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.
