Relax to Release

Latham, NY Botox at Luminescence Medical

You deserve to look and feel your best, which can include being proactive about treating lines and wrinkles. Neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport make it easy to press “pause” on the aging process and smooth away the appearance of existing creases. These products temporarily block nerve signals that cause the repetitive muscle contractions that occur when with repeated facial expressions. Whether you’re interested in trying neuromodulators for the first time or are ready to re-up your regimen, the expert injectors at Luminescence Medical in Latham can help you explore your options and plan your perfect treatment.

Show Your Vibrance

What are Botox?

Dynamic wrinkles form around your habitual facial muscle movements when you make expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting. These lines deepen over time, which can cause you to look older, angry, or tired. Botox and Dysport belong to a class of injectables formulated with botulinum toxin type A, a neuromodulator. When injected by an experienced injector, they help relax the muscles that cause lines, which lets the skin over the muscles smooth out. These results last three to four months between touch-ups. Regular neuromodulator treatments can also help prevent new wrinkles from forming!

Upgrade Your Glow

What are the benefits of Botox?

Most neuromodulator treatments take just a few minutes and involve minimal discomfort, which can be reduced with the application of a topical numbing cream. Dysport is most often used to treat glabellar lines, or the parallel “angry 11” lines that can show up between your eyebrows. At our practice in Latham Botox can treat crow’s feet around the eyes, forehead wrinkles, and laugh lines around the mouth. Botox can also be used to perform a “lip flip,” reduce the appearance of a gummy smile, and other niche uses that your aesthetic specialist may suggest, depending on your goals.

Simply Smooth

Your Botox Procedure

Most Botox and Dysport treatments take only a few minutes. Your aesthetic specialist will collaborate with you to map out the placement of your injections to provide the wrinkle-reduction results you’d like to see. If you desire, they can apply a topical anesthetic cream before administering the injections for your comfort. However, many patients find the procedure very tolerable without having the treatment area numbed beforehand.

Lines Fall Away

Botox Results

You should see results beginning to show up within three to four days. Some patients say they notice changes in the treatment area as soon as 24 hours after their injections. By two weeks after your treatment, the full results will be visible. Dynamic wrinkles, lines, and creases will be noticeably smoothed out and reduced. The formation of new wrinkles will also be slowed as the muscles in the area remain more relaxed. Results from Botox typically last between three to four months before a touch-up treatment is needed.

Get Back to Your Day

Botox Recovery and Aftercare

One of the biggest benefits of neuromodulator injections with Botox or Dysport is the quick recovery. By taking a few simple precautions, you will be able to return to most of your regular activities right away. We will provide clear aftercare guidelines, which may include staying upright for approximately four hours after your procedure to promote proper distribution of the injectable and avoiding strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. You may experience mild swelling or bruising, but this is typically minimal and fades quickly. You will likely begin to see some improvements starting in the treatment area within three to four days, if not sooner.

Injectables & Fillers Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are very similar and are both formulated with botulinum toxin. Dysport has a consistency that allows it to spread more once it is injected, which may make it better for treating larger areas, while Botox is excellent for specific targeting of wrinkles.

How much do Botox and Dysport cost?

The cost of your treatment will depend on the number of treatment areas and the amount of product required. Neuromodulators are a very affordable and effective alternative to treatments that require surgery. At your consultation, we are happy to provide you with an individualized treatment plan and cost estimate.
