BOTOX® Injections

BOTOX® injections are a fast, safe, and simple non-surgical approach in temporarily treating and eliminating facial wrinkles in the forehead, frown lines (between the brows) and for the "crows feet" or eye area (upper third of the face). The BOTOX® does not hurt. BOTOX® injections are also used for excess sweating or hyperhydrosis. Except for the infrequent small bruise, there is no downtime after a BOTOX® treatment, you can return to your daily activities.

BOTOX® is approved by the FDA for temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18-65 years old. BOTOX® is the only treatment of its type approved by the FDA for this purpose According to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery an estimated 3 million people were treated with BOTOX® in 2004 alone.

BOTOX® works by weakening the muscles in the  face. Once the resting tone of the treated muscles is weakened, the pull of the muscles relaxes and the overlying skin flattens thereby temporarily eliminating wrinkles and facial lines.

BOTOX® has been safely used in the treatment of muscular facial spasms for over fifteen years. Re-injection is necessary within 3-4 months. There are no known generalized side effects to BOTOX®.

The treatment takes less than ten minutes. The nonsurgical procedure is simple.  A few small injections can make a significant improvement in the lines between the brows, forehead or crows feet. Typical results can last up to 4 months.

BOTOX® treatments are offered daily at the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's Manhattan, New York office.
