What Is Botox?

Botox is an injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. It's commonly used to soften frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet around the eyes.

We also offer Dysport, a similar injectable treatment that helps reduce the appearance of expression lines. Both treatments are nonsurgical, typically take just a few minutes, and require little downtime for most patients.

Common Botox Treatment Areas

Botox injections can be used to address several areas of the face where expression lines and wrinkles commonly develop, including:

• Forehead lines: Horizontal wrinkles that appear when you raise your eyebrows.
• Frown lines: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, sometimes called glabellar lines or "11 lines."
• Crow's feet: Fine lines that develop around the outer corners of your eyes when smiling or squinting.

If you're interested in addressing other cosmetic concerns, such as facial volume loss or deeper folds, you can also explore our dermal filler treatments and other cosmetic services.

Botox Before and After Results

Botox and Dysport can help soften expression lines while maintaining your natural facial appearance. The following before-and-after images show examples of changes in facial lines following treatment. Individual results will vary.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox Injections?

Botox treatment may be a good option for adults who want to reduce the appearance of certain facial wrinkles without surgery. You may be a candidate if you:

• Have noticeable forehead lines, frown lines, or crow's feet caused by facial expressions.
• Want a nonsurgical option for softening the appearance of wrinkles.
• Prefer a treatment that typically requires little downtime.
• Are interested in temporary results that can be maintained with follow-up treatments.
• Are in generally good health and don't have medical conditions that would make Botox injections unsuitable.

Botox is also used medically for certain conditions, including chronic migraines, but these treatments require a separate medical evaluation and aren't the same as cosmetic Botox injections. If you're interested in Botox for headaches or another medical concern, talk with your healthcare provider about appropriate treatment options.

Our cosmetic specialist, Dr. Anna Rothstein, can help determine whether Botox, Dysport, or another cosmetic treatment is appropriate for your needs.

Potential Botox Side Effects

Botox injections are generally well tolerated, but like any cosmetic treatment, they can cause side effects. Some possible Botox side effects include:

• Temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site.
• Mild bruising where the injections were administered.
• Headaches or temporary discomfort following treatment.
• Temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow.
• Uneven facial appearance or unwanted changes in muscle movement.

Rare but serious complications can occur if the effects of botulinum toxin spread beyond the injection area, potentially causing muscle weakness or difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms occur.

Before your treatment, our team will review potential risks, discuss your medical history, and answer any questions you have about Botox or Dysport.
