WHAT IS BOTOX COSMETIC?
Botox has a long medical history starting in the 1970s, originally FDA-approved for the treatment of eye muscle problems. Cosmetic Botox appeared in the 1990s, and the FDA approved it for the treatment of wrinkles and crow’s feet.
Many clinical trials have evaluated the safety and efficacy of Botox Cosmetic since, and along with many years of published research, including more than 400 peer-reviewed scientific and medical journals. Botox Cosmetic is the most studied and widely used treatment of its kind.

HOW DOES BOTOX COSMETIC REDUCE WRINKLES?
When you make a facial expression, muscles contract and form creases in your skin. These are called dynamic wrinkles. As you age, your skin loses elasticity, causing dynamic lines to deepen and become more pronounced. When dermatologists inject a neuromodulator into facial muscles, signals from the nerves to muscles are blocked. When the injected muscle no longer contracts, wrinkles soften and relax, creating the appearance of smoother, younger-looking skin. wrinkle smoothers like Botox Cosmetic can treat:
- Glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows)
- Smoker’s lines
- Crow’s feet(smile lines around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Chin dimples
- Neck bands
Botox can also be combined with dermal fillers for optimal anti-aging benefits.

BOTOX QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
A: Botox Cosmetic injections are relatively safe when performed by an experienced provider. Side effects are very uncommon and should be temporary, including:
- Bruising, swelling, and mild pain around the injection site
- Headache
- Flu-like symptoms
- Eyelid drooping
- Crooked smile or drooling
- Eye dryness or severe tearing
- Numbness or weakness in nearby muscles
A: Botox Cosmetic results are temporary. The average patient enjoys their neuromodulator results for 3-6 months. To maintain results, we recommend a repeat treatment 3-4 months after the first procedure. Some patients also find that having regular wrinkle smoothing treatments can help train the muscles, thereby preventing future lines and allowing them to go a bit longer between sessions over time.
A: Botox Cosmetic wrinkle treatments at our New York City offices are very well-tolerated. As a general rule with any injection, the needle’s size impacts the patient’s comfort level. We only use the finest needles because a sharp needle will be more comfortable than a dull needle. To ensure optimal comfort, you may choose to have a topical anesthetic applied beforehand.
A: Botox Cosmetic injections don’t require any recovery time. You can return to your normal activities following treatment. In fact, many of our patients undergo treatment on their lunch break and then return to work immediately.
Botox Cosmetic aftercare, however, will help encourage optimal results while minimizing the risk of bruising and swelling. On the day of your procedure, we recommended you:
- Leave the treated area alone
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area
- Maintain a normal heart rate
- Wait at least 24 hours to exercise
A: We also offer Dysport as an option for a neuromodulator.A: We also offer Dysport as an option for a neuromodulator.

DYSPORT
Frowning, squinting, and smiling leave behind fine lines and wrinkles over time. Neuromodulators can be injected directly with a tiny needle into the muscles responsible and work by reducing crease-causing contractions.
DERMAL FILLERS
As we mature, loss of volume leads to wrinkles, prominent nasolabial folds, thinned lips, exaggerated jowls, and marionette lines. The natural deterioration of underlying bone and soft tissue leaves a hollowed, aged appearance. Fillers injected below the skin surface can correct age-related volume loss.
LASEMD
LaseMD is a fractional laser treatment that can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns. The new and improved LaseMD is a non-ablative fractional laser for rejuvenation and pigmentation from Lutronic.
