BOTOX® Cosmetic
At our Rochester, NY office, women and men benefit from BOTOX injections. People concerned about wrinkles that can make them look older than they are — such as crow’s feet, “worry lines,” and forehead wrinkles — can minimize those early signs of aging with BOTOX. The no‐downtime procedure produces results within 7 to 14 days in most cases, creating a more youthful appearance that still looks natural.

How It Works
The dynamic wrinkles targeted by BOTOX injections are caused by a lifetime of smiling, frowning, squinting, and a range of other facial expressions that occur daily. Facial muscles contract each time you change expression, and over time the skin develops lines and wrinkles. BOTOX temporarily weakens those muscles to prevent the lines from being reinforced.
Many of these muscles are around the eyes and in the forehead. Our injectors target the muscles with precision to ensure the BOTOX injections produce results that look natural. BOTOX is ideal for the glabellar area — the space between the eyebrows — where 2 vertical lines can make it appear that you’re worried or angry all the time. Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes and horizontal wrinkles along the forehead can also be softened using BOTOX.

Read OnBOTOX vs. Dermal Fillers
BOTOX is an injectable neuromodulator that works by preventing specific muscles from contracting. We use it conservatively, so patients avoid looking unnatural or “frozen.” Dermal fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, are injectable gels that restore volume to smooth wrinkles and create a “lifted” appearance. Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a sugar that occurs naturally in the body and binds with water to hydrate the skin.

Results
It takes about 5 to 7 days to first notice results after getting BOTOX injections, although patient responses vary. The changes in your appearance gradually continue, and the peak outcome typically occurs about 2 weeks after the treatment. BOTOX results are temporary, with the effects lasting about 4 months. We encourage patients to come in for periodic treatments to maintain the results for a longer period of time.
You can return to work or normal social activities immediately following the treatment. We recommend your keep your head elevated for at least 4 hours after your treatment and avoid rubbing or touching the treatment area. This allows the product to disperse properly for more consistent results. Rarely, slight bruising or swelling may appear at the injection site. Using a cold compress can reduce this effect.
