BOTOX is a widely popular aesthetic procedure in Boston, and for good reason – these injections deliver results. BOTOX injections effectively reduce muscle contractions responsible for persistent lines and wrinkles that develop over time on various facial areas. BOTOX can address mild to severe frown lines, forehead creases, crow's feet, drooping mouth corners, lip lines, and neck folds. Additionally, many patients find BOTOX helpful in managing excessive sweating under their arms and in their hands.

These two injectables have the same active ingredient. When deciding between BOTOX and Dysport injections, it's essential to consider their unique characteristics. A notable difference lies in their trace proteins. Dysport is more diluted than BOTOX and has a broader diffusion range upon injection, making it suitable for larger areas like the forehead. In contrast, BOTOX remains closer to the injection site, making it highly effective for smaller regions like the eyes.
Both treatments effectively diminish wrinkles and fine lines resulting from facial expressions. However, it's important to note that they differ from dermal fillers, which enhance facial contours by filling grooves and increasing skin volume.
There is no downtime associated with BOTOX or Dysport injections. Many of our patients schedule treatments during their lunch break. Like any injection, you may experience slight redness at the injection site after the procedure.
BOTOX offers several advantages, including reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines quickly without downtime. Results are comparable to more invasive procedures, with no scarring or repeated follow-up visits. While BOTOX may not address all types of skin aging concerns or be suitable for every patient, it is a non-invasive alternative that works for most.
Plastic surgeons Dr. Leonard Miller, Dr. Sean Doherty, Dr. Akshay Sanan, and Dr. Vickram Tandon, along with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Melissa Michelon, combine over 35 years of experience with expertly developed techniques to provide natural results for patients. Instead of the unnatural look that some patients experience after treatments, our patients gradually achieve a more youthful appearance. BOTOX can also be combined with other procedures, such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels, to reduce redness, enlarged pores, and age spots.

BOTOX is an injectable treatment designed to temporarily reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Made from botulinum toxin type A, BOTOX relaxes specific muscles, smoothing associated facial creases.
BOTOX Cosmetic effectively treats dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. It is suitable for forehead creases, Frown Lines (the '11's') between the eyebrows), crow's feet, lip lines, and neck folds. BOTOX can also shape the lips and mouth and manage hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in the hands and armpits.
Ideal candidates for BOTOX are generally in good health, understand the non-invasive nature of the treatment, and have realistic expectations about the results. However, individuals with certain skin conditions or those who are pregnant or nursing may be advised to postpone treatment. During your consultation with Dr. Miller, Dr. Sanan, Dr. Tandon, Dr. Doherty, or Dr. Michelon, the suitability of BOTOX Cosmetic for your specific needs will be assessed.
The results of BOTOX injections are not immediate. It typically takes 3-7 days for the benefits to become noticeable. These results can last up to four months, although individual experiences may vary. Many patients return to Boston Center for Plastic Surgery for additional services like Juvederm, advanced laser treatments, and medical facial treatments.
BOTOX is a safe and thoroughly tested method for treating dynamic wrinkles. Common side effects are generally mild and include tenderness, pinpoint bleeding, redness, and bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve quickly. Serious complications, such as infection, asymmetry, or nerve damage, are rare. For the safest and most natural-looking results, it's essential to choose an experienced BOTOX injector, such as Dr. Miller, Dr. Doherty, Dr. Sanan, Dr. Tandon, or Dr. Michelon at Boston Center for Plastic Surgery.
