BOTOX® Cosmetic NYC

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a revolutionary injectable neurotoxin designed to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Whether you seek to refresh your appearance, reduce signs of aging, or prevent future wrinkles, BOTOX® offers an excellent option for achieving a smooth, more youthful complexion.

Smooth Away Wrinkles in Just Minutes

Commonly treated areas include the crow's feet, glabellar lines (between the eyebrows), forehead, and around the lips. In just 10-15 minutes, BOTOX® can temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles, providing a non-surgical solution that rejuvenates the face and enhances your natural beauty. Results typically last up to 4 months.

Targeted Areas for BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment

BOTOX® Cosmetic is versatile and can address various areas of the face, including:

BOTOX® Brow Lift: Injections around the brow can provide a non-surgical brow lift, lifting sagging brows and opening up the eyes.
Lower Eyelids: Smooth out wrinkles under the eyes for a more youthful appearance.

"Gummy Smile" Reduction: BOTOX® can subtly lower the height of the upper lip, reducing the appearance of a "gummy smile."
Pebble Chin: For chin wrinkles (also known as "orange peel" skin), BOTOX® can relax the mentalis muscle and smooth out the skin.

Prevention: Starting BOTOX® in your mid-20s can prevent wrinkles from forming by reducing excessive facial muscle movement.

Other Uses for BOTOX®

Beyond facial wrinkles, BOTOX® has several medical uses, including:

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Helps reduce sweating in areas like the underarms and palms.
Migraines: BOTOX® can alleviate the intensity and frequency of migraines.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): BOTOX® can reduce the strain on the jaw muscles caused by grinding teeth, improving comfort and aesthetics.

History of BOTOX® Cosmetic

First used for medical purposes in the 1980s, BOTOX® was FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2002. Since then, it has become one of the most popular treatments worldwide, offering a safe and effective solution for facial wrinkles.

BOTOX® Cosmetic FAQ

How Does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?

BOTOX® Cosmetic contains botulinum toxin type-A, which temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for creating wrinkles. By reducing muscle activity, BOTOX® smooths out lines, giving you a softer, younger appearance.

How Soon Will I See the Results?

Results from BOTOX® typically begin to show within 3-5 days, with the full effect visible in about 2 weeks. For optimal results, follow-up treatments are recommended every 3-4 months.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic?

Anyone looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles is an excellent candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic. Both men and women can benefit, and Dr. Leong will conduct a personalized consultation to determine the best approach for your goals.

What Is "Brotox" for Men?

Botox is becoming increasingly popular among men, often referred to as "Brotox." Whether for personal confidence, professional appearance, or just staying ahead of wrinkles, BOTOX® offers a subtle way to rejuvenate the face and reduce signs of aging in men.

Does BOTOX® Cosmetic Hurt?

Most patients experience a minimal sensation, often described as a slight sting or pinch. Any discomfort is typically brief, and the results far outweigh the temporary sensation. Dr. Leong and his team ensure your comfort throughout the process.

Can BOTOX® be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes! BOTOX® is often combined with other non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers (Restylane®, Juvéderm®), Ultherapy®, or even SkinVive™ for a comprehensive rejuvenation strategy. Combining treatments can enhance your overall results and provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

When Should I Start Getting BOTOX® Injections?

Many patients start BOTOX® treatments in their late 20s or early 30s to prevent the formation of wrinkles. If you're interested in starting early, Dr. Leong can help you determine the best time for BOTOX® based on your facial anatomy and aging process.
