Botox and Dysport Treatment – Garden City and Long Island, New York
In 1993, physicians began using Botox and Dysport as a means of reducing lines and wrinkle treatment. Botox and Dysport, which are injections to block signals to muscles from nerves, are often used in conjunction with fillers to reduce wrinkles such as crow’s feet lines, frown lines and forehead lines. In essence, the ‘offending’ muscle is simply paralyzed and stays in a relaxed mode.

Botox or Dysport Treatment Procedure
Board-certified oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Amiya Prasad believes in taking the time to ensure that his patients are comfortable before any procedure. He uses a custom formulated topical anesthetic and special syringes to make his patients sessions as comfortable as possible.
Typically, multiple areas are addressed in one session and the average treatment only takes minutes using a fine needle. Most patients experience little pain, and an ice pack afterward can minimize minor discomfort. Depending on the patient and the expertise of the doctor, minor bruising may or may not appear. The effects of Botox and Dysport will begin to manifest within 24 hours or up to 3 days and the peak effect is typically around 2 weeks.
