Procedures: Botulinum Toxin Injections
Types: Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®
A minute quantity of botulinum toxin (Botox, Dysport or Xeomin) is injected to relax the muscles that cause frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crows feet. Botulinum toxin injections can also improve neck laxity, fine lip lines, and excessive sweating. Injection effects typically last 3-8 months.
Dr. Anne Chapas and Dr. Jennifer MacGregor are internationally acclaimed experts in the use and application of botulinum toxins such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin. They participated in the clinical trials that led to FDA approval for Dysport and Xeomin, and they are known for achieving natural results through customized treatment plans, combining botulinum injections with fillers where appropriate, and without creating a look that reveals that cosmetic work was done. In the January 2013 issue, Good Housekeeping judged Dr. Chapas’ “Ultimate Botox” best in a “wrinkle eraser” runoff by New York dermatologists.
Union Square Laser Dermatology is one of the first practices to offer Xeomin®, the latest botulinum toxin treatment approved for wrinkle reduction by the FDA. Specifically, Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) was approved for moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) in adult patients.
