Botox Alternatives


Botox Alternatives services offered in Great Neck and Jackson Heights, NY

Looking for an option beyond Botox? While Botox® is the most recognized wrinkle-relaxing injectable, it’s not the only choice. At Angela Azar, MD, we also offer Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® (“Newtox”) — three FDA-approved Botox alternatives that smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a refreshed, natural look.

With offices in Great Neck and Jackson Heights, Dr. Azar provides patients with the full range of injectable options, helping you choose the best treatment for your unique goals.


Why Consider a Botox Alternative?

Some patients may prefer or benefit from an alternative injectable because of:

  • Slightly different onset times (some work faster than Botox)

  • Different spread in larger or smaller treatment areas

  • Personal preference for results or cost

  • Desire to try the latest aesthetic injectables

All options are safe, effective, and tailored to your treatment goals.

Dysport®

  • Works like Botox but may spread more easily in larger areas
