“Between 2006-2008, at the peak of the cosmetic physician market (plastic surgeons and dermatologists,) I was the number one plastic surgeon injector in the NYC area per Allergan Medical, makers of Botox®. Consequently, I have a tremendous amount of experience with Botulinum toxins (neuro toxins) and have mentored my staff in my techniques.”

Botox and Dysport are used for a wide variety of cosmetic concerns. Botulinum, or neuro toxin, can be used for the forehead(frontalis muscle); crow’s feet(orbicularis oculi); glabella(wrinkles between eyebrows—corregator, procerus and depressor supercilii); lip Botox ®(vertical upper and lower lip “smokers” lines—orbicularis oris), chin (down turned mouth corners and chin dimples—depressor anguli oris and mentalis); neck (neck bands—platysma muscle); sweaty arm pits (axillary hyperhidrosis);and finally treatment for migraines, which is typically 95% successful.
A new player is getting ready to enter the market. I routinely use Botox® and Dysport®, and anticipate the release of Xeomin®, which has less non essential proteins, and therefore may reduce the possibility of any allergy.
Today, Botulinum toxins are administered by physicians and non-physicians alike but not with the same results. Those who are not trained properly or have less experience in administering Botox® or Dysport® will not be able to maximize all the benefits that could be yours in more capable hands. There is also a higher risk of complications if you trust the wrong injector.
Sometimes I may recommend fillers or fat grafting in place of Botox or Dysport. Facial muscular activity and associated wrinkles typically increase, as bone and fat atrophy due to aging, progresses. Therefore, I may recommend fillers, or fat grafting to best alleviate this issue. It reduces your Botulinum toxin requirement and accomplishes a better appearance overall.
