Botox® Cosmetic

BOTOX® on Long Island

BOTOX®, a controlled bacterial toxin, is a paralyzing agent injected into muscles to reduce motion. By limiting wrinkle-producing activity, BOTOX® gives the skin a smoother appearance. Our patients find that BOTOX® works extremely well for horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows, and “crow’s feet” around the eyes.

BOTOX® injections are minimally invasive. The procedure starts with a fine needle that injects the solution into the targeted area, causing controlled weakening of the muscles. There is little to no downtime after your BOTOX® injections, and your results should last about three to four months.

Patients may begin to see results within 24 to 48 hours with full results in 30 days lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.

What Is BOTOX® Treatment Like?

BOTOX® Cosmetic procedures are quick with no anesthesia required. Injections are administered with an ultra-fine needle directly into the area being treated. Discomfort is minimal and brief, and once complete, there is usually no discomfort.

If you’re like most patients, you’ll return directly to work or normal activity immediately. We’ll use a cold balloon to apply to your injected area to help soothe. Most people are very surprised the first time to see just how quickly and comfortably BOTOX® Cosmetic can be injected.

What Areas Can Be Treated With BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX® treatments can be performed in a number of areas including

• Between your brows
• Forehead
• Eye area
• Smile lines
• Mouth
• Chin
• Neck
• Masseter (jaw) muscle
• Underarm (hyperhidrosis)

By using BOTOX® Cosmetic along with your wrinkle fillers, they’ll both last longer. In addition, carefully selected use of small amounts of Botox in the lower face slows aging in this area.
