What Is Botox?
Botox comes from the neurotoxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, the same organism that causes food poisoning. In minute doses, Botox can safely block the nerve impulses that cause over contraction of facial muscles. This allows the muscles to relax, making the skin smooth and wrinkle-free.
Botox is best applied to dynamic wrinkles, or wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. If you have moderate or harsh midface wrinkles caused by skin laxity or collagen depletion, consider one of our popular injectable dermal filler products.
Good Candidates for Botox
Good candidates for Botox injections in Upper Manhattan are 18 years old or older and are looking for a way to address fine age lines without going under the knife.
To be an ideal candidate for Botox treatments, you should not have any neuromuscular conditions. If you have an active infection at the target site, you may be recommended for other treatment options. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you are not eligible for this wrinkle-reducing treatment.
Your Botox Consultation
A consultation is a vital part of the Botox treatment process. You will be asked to discuss your goals and expectations for this treatment option. Your skin will be examined, and your overall health will be assessed through a thorough review of your medical history.
You will be given detailed information about the Botox treatment process, along with potential risks and benefits, so you can make an informed decision. A personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific concerns.
The Treatment Session
Depending on the number of areas to be treated, the Botox session can take 15 to 30 minutes. A topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. Then the Botox injections will be administered, delivering just the right amount into the muscle.
Botox Aftercare
A consultation is a vital part of the Botox treatment process. You will be asked to discuss your goals and expectations for this treatment option. Your skin will be examined, and your overall health will be assessed through a thorough review of your medical history.
You are able to go home and resume your normal routine right after your Botox treatment. There is no downtime or recovery time involved.
Avoid applying pressure on the treated areas for the first 24 hours. Do not massage or rub the areas to prevent spread of the Botox injections into other areas of your face. Do not lie down two to four hours after the procedure.
Redness, swelling, and bruising may be experienced at the injection sites but should disappear quickly. You may get back to your exercise routine a day or two after your Botox treatment.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT SKINLAB
“My ‘full face’ dermal filler procedure had instant and stellar results. I am 51 years old and suffer from a lot of sagging skin on my thin face. Because my face is so thin, I worried that the fillers would be noticeable, but they are not.”
