What is BOTOX?

So you’ve probably heard of BOTOX, but what it is? BOTOX, the brand name for onabotulinumtoxinA, is an FDA-approved treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crows feet, and forehead wrinkles among other problem areas around the face like fine lines and wrinkles.

BOTOX works by blocking nerve signals that keep facial muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles caused by our facial movements and expressions. As used for cosmetic enhancement, BOTOX injections help these muscles soften to give your face a smoother and younger appearance. Beyond its cosmetic use, BOTOX is also used to treat various medical conditions effectively, such as Hyperhidrosis and migraines!

Don’t worry about the recovery either. Treatment requires little to no downtime, so you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave.

What are the Benefits of BOTOX?

BOTOX injections are minimally invasive, so you don’t have to undergo a serious procedure or surgery to achieve a more youthful you. Facelifts and other alternatives can require an extended recovery period, from days to weeks.

However, this isn’t just a solution for treating your existing fine lines and wrinkles. If you want to be proactive, you can also use BOTOX as a preventative measure to keep future fine lines from forming on your face, especially where you tend to be more expressive around your forehead, mouth, and eyes.

Some of the many benefits our team has seen our patients enjoy include:

  • Boost in self-confidence
  • Long-lasting effects
  • Minimal downtime
  • Natural-looking results
  • Non-surgical
  • Quick and convenient
  • Safe and effective
  • Smoother appearance
  • Treatment is customizable

Who are the Best Candidates for BOTOX?

At our practice in New York City, we believe the best candidates for BOTOX are those concerned about the look of your existing fine lines and wrinkles in any of these areas:

  • Eyes
  • Under eyes
  • Crows feet
  • Forehead
  • Smile lines
  • Neck
  • Jaw

Other good candidates for BOTOX in New York City or Long Island include:

  • If you’re looking to prevent the formation of wrinkles and lines.
  • If you are uncomfortable with the invasive alternatives like undergoing surgical procedures.
  • You maintain realistic expectations and a positive attitude throughout your treatment.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may not be recommended for this treatment. Your overall health should be in good condition without any known allergies to the listed ingredients.

What’s the First Step?

Ahead of unlocking what some may call the “fountain of youth”, you’ll first need an initial consultation to examine your target areas and discuss the patient’s medical history and goals for the procedure.

When you come in for your appointment, you will meet with either Dr. Hoschander or one of our aesthetic providers who will examine your face and discuss the areas you are looking to improve. They will ask you questions about your medical history and lifestyle during your consultation, so it’s very important to be open and honest in order to prevent any unnecessary risks or side effects, as well as to help you achieve your best possible results!

Once patient compatibility has been determined, we will recommend a treatment plan to achieve your desired results.

What to Expect on the Day of BOTOX

On the day of your BOTOX in NYC or Long Island, a relatively straightforward treatment can be expected. The target area will be cleansed before the BOTOX is injected by the provider using a fine needle. The injector will then inject strategic amounts of the injectable and assess the results, adding more only if needed. You may experience slight redness or swelling after that should subside within a few hours, but the injections themselves are quick and should cause you minimal discomfort.

BOTOX Recovery

A big draw to injectables is that there is no downtime needed to recover post-procedure. You can resume your daily activities immediately upon leaving the office. Aftercare may vary depending on the injectable used, treatment area, and the patient’s natural healing, although it’s recommended to avoid intense workouts or strenuous activities for at least 24 to 48 hours.

It’s recommended to protect the injected areas from extreme heat or direct sun exposure to avoid swelling. If you have sensitive skin, refrain from applying products and makeup on the treated areas right after the procedure to avoid irritation.

How Much Does BOTOX Cost in New York City?

The cost of BOTOX in New York City can differ depending on how much of the injectable is needed to accomplish your desired results. The total investment will also vary depending on the number of injected areas included in your treatment.
