BOTOX
Island Plastic Surgery offers BOTOX to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
BOTOX®, a controlled bacterial toxin, is a paralyzing agent injected directly into muscles to reduce motion. By limiting wrinkle-producing activity, BOTOX® gives your skin a smoother appearance. Our patients at Island Plastic Surgery in New York find that BOTOX® works extremely well for horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes.
As one of the most popular cosmetic injections available today, the demand for BOTOX® continues to grow throughout the Long Island region. With two offices in Mineola and West Islip, the Island Plastic Surgery staff is available and well-trained to provide this highly sought-after wrinkle treatment. We are conveniently located to assist men and women in New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT.
Am I a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?
Most BOTOX® patients are between the ages of 35 and 60. They are generally looking for an effective way to target wrinkles while avoiding more intensive operations, such as face lifts and forehead lifts. Some of the common reasons our Mineola and West Islip patients undergo BOTOX® include the following:
- Forehead creases
- Crow's feet around the eyes
- Frown and laugh lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth
There are other types of lines and folds that can be treated with BOTOX® injections. However, wrinkles caused by gravity or sun exposure will not respond to the solution because these grooves are created by the skin, not by the underlying muscles.
How is BOTOX® Administered?
BOTOX® injections are minimally invasive and are performed in both our Mineola and West Islip offices. The procedure starts with a fine needle that injects the solution into the targeted area, causing controlled weakening of the muscles. The toxin — which is a dilute form of botulinum — blocks nerve impulses to the injected muscles, reducing the activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form. There is little to no downtime after your BOTOX® injections, and your results should last about three to four months.
What are BOTOX® costs?
BOTOX® prices in New York will depend on the amount of BOTOX® you require for the targeted area. If you speak with our staff in Mineola or West Islip, then we can give you more information about what BOTOX® might cost you.
