Botox & Neurotoxins
Smooth away fine lines and wrinkles with precision-placed neurotoxin injections at Advanced Skin MedSpa in Fishkill, NY. Our expert injectors use Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau to deliver natural-looking results that let your confidence shine through — never frozen, always refined.
How Neurotoxins Smooth Lines and Wrinkles
Neurotoxin treatments work by temporarily relaxing the tiny facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form when you squint, frown, or raise your eyebrows. When a purified protein is precisely injected into targeted muscles, it blocks the nerve signals that cause repeated contraction. The overlying skin relaxes and smooths, softening existing creases while preventing new ones from deepening.
At Advanced Skin MedSpa, we carry a full suite of FDA-approved neurotoxins including Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. Each has unique properties — some spread more broadly for larger areas like the forehead, while others stay precisely where placed for delicate zones around the eyes. During your consultation, Marissa Martinez-Thiele and our clinical team will recommend the ideal product for your anatomy, skin type, and aesthetic goals.
Treatment Areas We Address
Our Fishkill, NY practice treats a wide range of concerns with neurotoxin injections. The most popular areas include horizontal forehead lines, glabellar frown lines (the "elevens" between your brows), and crow's feet around the outer eyes. These three zones form the foundation of most treatment plans and can take years off your appearance in a single visit.
Beyond the classics, we also use neurotoxins for perioral lip lines (smoker's lines), a subtle lip flip that enhances upper lip fullness without filler, brow lifts to open the eye area, chin dimpling ("peau d'orange"), platysmal neck bands, and masseter reduction for jawline slimming or TMJ relief. Each treatment is carefully mapped to your unique facial anatomy so movement is softened, not erased.
What to Expect During and After Your Visit
A neurotoxin appointment at Advanced Skin MedSpa typically takes 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish — many of our Hudson Valley patients schedule during a lunch break. After a thorough facial assessment, your injector cleanses the skin and uses an ultra-fine needle to place small doses into predetermined points. Most people describe the sensation as a brief pinch; no topical anesthesia is usually needed.
You can return to most daily activities immediately. We ask that you avoid strenuous exercise, lying flat, and rubbing the treated areas for four to six hours after your appointment. Mild redness or tiny bumps at injection sites typically resolve within an hour. Results begin to appear in two to five days, with full effect visible at about two weeks. The smoothing benefits generally last three to four months, and many patients find that with consistent treatments the intervals between sessions gradually lengthen.
Preventative Botox: Starting Early for Lasting Results
More and more patients in their late twenties and early thirties are discovering the preventative power of neurotoxin treatments. By addressing dynamic wrinkles before they etch permanently into the skin, early intervention can significantly delay the visible signs of aging. Think of it as training your muscles to stay relaxed in areas prone to deep creasing.
Preventative Botox typically requires fewer units and less-frequent visits compared to corrective treatments for established lines. During your consultation at our Fishkill practice, we will evaluate your current skin quality, muscle movement patterns, and long-term goals to determine whether a preventative approach makes sense for you — and design a plan that evolves with your skin over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
All four are FDA-approved neurotoxins made from botulinum toxin type A, but they differ in formulation and molecular structure. Botox and Jeuveau contain complexing proteins, Dysport has a slightly smaller molecular size that allows broader diffusion, and Xeomin is a "naked" neurotoxin with no accessory proteins. These differences affect onset time, spread, and duration, which is why our team recommends specific products based on the treatment area and your goals.
Most patients enjoy their results for three to four months. Onset begins within two to five days and full effect is visible at the two-week mark. Over time and with consistent treatments, some patients find their results last longer because the targeted muscles gradually weaken from reduced use.
Discomfort is minimal. We use ultra-fine needles, and most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or slight pressure. The entire process is well-tolerated without topical numbing, though we can apply a numbing cream upon request for sensitive areas.
Absolutely. Neurotoxins pair beautifully with dermal fillers, Sculptra, chemical peels, and laser treatments for a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. In fact, combining neurotoxins with fillers is one of the most popular combination approaches at our Fishkill medspa because it addresses both dynamic wrinkles and volume loss simultaneously.
Most healthy adults bothered by expression lines are excellent candidates. Neurotoxins work best on dynamic wrinkles — lines caused by repeated muscle movement. They are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain neuromuscular conditions. A consultation at Advanced Skin MedSpa will confirm whether neurotoxins are the right option for you.
