BOTOX

Regain that Youthful look

You want to maintain your youthful facial appearance as long as possible, but you’ve noticed creases starting to form around your eyes, between your eyebrows, or across your forehead.

We’ve been helping our New York BOTOX® Cosmetic patients for many years, and we can help you, too.

What To Expect From New York Botox Injections

Although our New York practice offers BOTOX Cosmetic as a medical spa treatment, your injections will be performed by one of our experienced and skilled physicians. They will inject the product using a very fine needle at various sites near, but not necessarily on, the wrinkles being treated. Depending on the number of areas being treated, the process will conclude within an hour.

Aftercare for BOTOX Cosmetic is minimal – that’s one of the reasons it’s so popular in our New York medical spa! You can usually drive yourself home or back to work after the treatment. Avoid putting pressure on the injected areas for about 4 to 5 hours after your procedure to prevent the product from migrating to other areas of the face.

You’ll notice improvements within a week as the targeted muscle movements cease, and the wrinkles relax. You’ll probably notice yourself looking more refreshed, more awake, and more attractive. Let the professionals at the New York Group for Plastic Surgery show you how easy it is to improve your appearance with BOTOX Cosmetic.

Improvements From Botox Cosmetic In New York

BOTOX Cosmetic helps smooth creases and wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement. It is one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments in our New York medical spa because:

Diminishes wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet).
Smoothes out creases from across the forehead or between the eyebrows.
Requires minimal recovery time.
When you have minimal creasing, it offers a temporary alternative to plastic surgery such as facelift and eyelid surgery.

The improvements our New York BOTOX patients receive from their injections last about 3 to 6 months. After 1 or 2 initial touch-ups, some patients have found that their improvements last even longer. This treatment will not improve wrinkles caused by aging or sun damage, but it’s effective for dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements.

If you have age-related static wrinkles, you might benefit from injectable facial fillers like Restylane®, Radiesse®, or JUVÉDERM®. In cases of advanced wrinkling or patients over 65, facial cosmetic surgery in our New York offices might be more appropriate than injectable treatments. We will help you decide which cosmetic procedure or medical spa treatment will best achieve the results you’re hoping for, during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Botox work?

Botox belongs to a unique category of cosmetic injectables known as neuromodulators. It’s made of a special neurotoxin protein (botulinum toxin type A) that blocks the nerve signals from reaching targeted facial muscles responsible for the prominence of your dynamic wrinkles. It temporarily paralyzes the facial muscles to relax the wrinkles, giving you smooth and youthful skin.

Will Botox give me a plastic, frozen, or artificial appearance?

There’s a common misconception that Botox injections lead to “plastic” or artificial cosmetic results. Some fear the dreaded “frozen” appearance wherein the individual can’t express any emotions. However, these misconceptions are popularized by the media, and they’re based on cases performed by inexperienced or poorly-skilled providers. Furthermore, most people are aware of the bad cases because they’re the most visible.

In actuality, the vast majority of Botox injections produce such impeccably natural results that they don’t reveal signs of cosmetic work. You might have even met individuals who have undergone Botox, but you won’t realize it because of the natural results. However, you must find a skilled and experienced injector with a long track record of subtle and natural results. Our cosmetic surgeons can show a broad portfolio of before-and-afters as evidence of their exceptional skills.

What does Botox treatment feel like?

The Botox injection is quick and painless, and it doesn’t even require anesthesia. Our cosmetic surgeons use fine-gauge needles that cause little to no pain and discomfort — at most, you might feel a little pinch. If you’re anxious, you can even ask the surgeon for a topical numbing cream to anesthetize the treatment spot.

Do I need to make any special preparations before Botox?

Most surgeons and physicians advise patients to stop consuming alcohol, tobacco, and blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) a week before the treatment. This advice mostly ensures that you experience minimal bruising and side-effects after the treatment.
