Dr. Robert F. Gray

East Bay Area Botox/Dysport

Botox/Dysport is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age.  For Botox/Dysport in the Bay Area, Blackhawk, Central Valley, Manteca, Danville, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore, Dublin, Tracy, East Bay, Modesto, Stockton, and Tri-Valley areas, call MD Laser Spa.
 
Bay Area BotoxWhat is Botox/Dysport?
Botox®/Dysport (click here) is a muscle relaxing agent derived from Botulinum that reduces wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing the muscle.  Common treatment areas are between the eyebrows (glabella),  frown lines of the forehead and crow's feet. It may also be used to treat excessive underarm sweating.

  Dr. Gray is a Platinum Botox Provider which means he is in the TOP 1 % of all Botox providers in the country. Consult with Dr. Gray,a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon, and his staff at MD Laser Spa for Botox in the Bay Area or Blackhawk, Central Valley, Manteca, Danville, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, San Ramon and Tri-Valley Areas.

In addition to the Platinum status, Dr. Gray and MD Laser Spa are one of the select practices chosen to be part of the Brilliant Distinction program.  Very few practices are chosen for this honor.  This program is offered by Allergan (the makers of Botox) and it allows ADDITIONAL discounts and savings for MD Laser Spa patients.  This is really a great program and I think of it as a type of frequent flyer progam where you can accumulate points that translate into dollars.  These point/dollars are offered for Botox, Latisse, Juvederm and Vivite Skincare line.  Great idea and we would be happy to sign you up so that you can start saving right away.

The makers of Dysport have just launched a great new program called Love it or Leave It. they are so confident that you will like Dysport instead of Botox that they will give you $75 off your first treatment.  Sounds great but it gets better.

If you like Dysport they will give you another $75 off your next treatment with Dysport. Wow, even better still.

If you don't like Dysport as much as Botox then they will give you $75 off your next Botox treatment.  Sounds like a winner.

How does the treatment work?
Botox®/Dysport (click here) temporarily reduces the contractions of the muscles that cause wrinkles. By relaxing the muscles, the overlying skin becomes smoother. Several tiny Botox/Dysport injections are administered directly into the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. Your health care provider will determine where those muscles are located.
Is Botox/Dysport safe?
Botox® /Dysport(click here) is safe and has very few side effects. Rare side effects include headache, flu symptoms and temporary eyelid droop.
Will there be any downtime?
You may resume normal activities immediately. Vigorous exercise or laying flat may be restricted for a few hours following treatment. Many clients undergo Botox/Dysport during their lunch break and return to work after treatment.
What are the benefits of Botox/Dysport?
Botox/Dysport (click here)has no downtime as opposed to other wrinkle reducing methods. Also, following treatment there is little to no pain or discomfort. Results can be seen after only one session.

How does the treatment feel?
The only pain or discomfort is a slight pin-prick sensation from the small needle injecting the Botox/Dysport. If necessary, ice or a topical anesthetic may be applied prior to treatment.
How long do results last?
Results of Botox/Dysport vary and can last up to four months. Generally, most people can expect three months of improvement. Treatments are offered every few months for maintenance.
Who are candidates for Botox/Dysport?
Candidates for Botox/Dysport (click here) injections are age eighteen to sixty-five and interested in improving the appearance of their face. Many candidates are seeking relief from wrinkles and brow furrows.
Who should avoid Botox/Dysport?
Do not use Botox/Dysport if you have an infection where the Botox® will be injected, are allergic to any of the ingredients in Botox® or are pregnant. Some conditions may increase the chance of infection, so a doctor should be advised of your medical history before receiving Botox/Dysport.
What are the alternative treatments?
An alternative treatment to Botox/Dysport (click here) is skin resurfacing, which includes many types of laser therapies and chemical peels. These procedures can be painful and may have a much longer recovery time than Botox/Dysport. Other alternatives include surgery such as a brow lift.
Is additional treatment necessary?
Generally, after three to four months, the Botox/Dysport effects will begin to fade and facial features will gradually return to their former state. Maintenance treatments are necessary to keep the effect of Botox/Dysport for long periods of time.
What are the limitations of Botox/Dysport?
The limitation of Botox/Dysport is that it is not a permanent answer to reducing wrinkles. Also, results vary and occasional problems with asymmetry may occur.

Instructions before treatment:
Avoid alcoholic beverages and anti-inflammatory medications before treatment. Schedule a Botox/Dysport (click here)appointment at least two weeks prior to any special events to allow time to heal.
Instructions after treatment:
Treat any mild discomfort with Tylenol, and expect temporary swelling. If desired, an icepack can be applied after treatment. Do not massage the treated areas because it may move the Botox/Dysport around and create a different effect. It is generally recommended to remain upright for four hours after injections and avoid aerobic activity for a few hours.
