Turn Back Time Naturally

When those first lines and wrinkles begin to form on the face, it can be a shock. We look in the mirror, and suddenly, we see the years catching up. In the early days of cosmetic procedures, the only solution was plastic surgery. Luckily, today, we have non-surgical alternatives like BOTOX Cosmetic that are non-invasive and natural-looking when your doctor is skilled, like Dr. Stephen Small. What exactly is BOTOX Cosmetic? It's an injection of a purified protein that relaxes the muscle activity that causes certain types of wrinkles. These wrinkles include forehead creases, crow's feet, and "frown lines" – the "11" between the eyebrows. They're the types of wrinkles that are caused by repeated facial expressions, and BOTOX weakens these muscles to improve your appearance. Dr. Small will evaluate the muscles of your face and determine the correct placement and dosage of BOTOX to provide a flawless result. The formula used in BOTOX Cosmetic has been used medically for many years to treat muscle spasms, as well as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

Dr. Small and his staff are wonderful. I have had several procedures done with Dr. Small from tattoo removal, BOTOX, to skin cancers removal and every time I have felt comfortable in his care and safe in his care. His office is clean and always welcoming.

What Is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a neuromodulator that combats fine lines and wrinkles without downtime or discomfort. It is an excellent solution for targeting glabellar lines between the brows, frown lines in the forehead, and crows feet around the eyes. BOTOX also has a wider array of medical uses, such as correcting hyperhidrosis, spasms, and migraines. The injections work by temporarily incapacitating the tiny muscles that contract to form wrinkles. Once the muscles are relaxed, the skin smooths out, leading to a more youthful, attractive appearance.

What Are the Benefits of BOTOX in Ocean County, NJ?

BOTOX injections come with a wide range of powerful advantages, including the following:

Non-surgical and non-invasive
Eradicates dynamic lines and creases
Creates a more rested, rejuvenated facial expression
No discomfort or downtime
Enhances self-confidence
Results last 3-5 months on average

The BOTOX Cosmetic Procedure

Dr. Small uses a fine needle to inject the BOTOX in the targeted areas. The injections themselves will only take a few minutes. Your skin is numbed prior to treatment, ensuring a stress-free, pain-free experience.

Recovering from BOTOX Injections

One of the best things about BOTOX is that you don’t need to take any time off from work at all. In fact, some people call it a lunchtime treatment because you can go right back to work afterward.

Some people do experience some minor effects, however, such as a little bit of swelling and bruising. You might feel slightly tender at the injection sites, too, but all of these effects should be gone within a few days. If you do have any discoloration, you can cover it with makeup right away.

BOTOX lasts approximately three to four months, and maintenance treatments are needed 3-4 times a year for the best anti-aging effects.

BOTOX Frequently Asked Questions

Can BOTOX Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Some wrinkles are not caused by muscle activity; instead, they're caused by a loss of volume in the face. For those types of wrinkles, dermal fillers such as Juvederm Ultra, Ultra + and Voluma can be used for a kind of non-surgical liquid facelift. Fat grafting can also be used to restore lost volume to the face. Many people get both BOTOX and fillers for a comprehensive treatment of their wrinkles.

How Much Do BOTOX Treatments Cost?

The cost of BOTOX injections varies based on a number of different factors, including the expertise and qualifications of your provider, how advanced the wrinkles are, and how much product is used. Your geographic location also plays a role in determining the cost. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of BOTOX injections in 2018 was $397.

How Do I Find the Best Plastic Surgeon for BOTOX Treatments Near Me?

When choosing a plastic surgeon for your BOTOX injections, cost should not be your deciding factor. You should look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in BOTOX injections, as well as someone you feel comfortable with. Ask to see before and after photos of previous clients so you can see what to expect.

Will BOTOX Treatments Hurt?

While most injections can be uncomfortable, BOTOX injections use a very fine needle, so discomfort is very minimal. If necessary, a topical anesthetic may be used before the injections to minimize this discomfort.

Are There Any Risks Involved With BOTOX?

BOTOX injections are relatively safe with little to no side effects. However, as with any procedure, side effects are possible and can include:

Bruising at the injection sites
Injection site tenderness
Flu-like symptoms
Headache
Nausea
Redness
Temporary facial weakness or drooping

How Long Do BOTOX Treatments Take?

BOTOX is a quick in-office treatment, with most treatments taking less than 30 minutes. This means you can come in during your lunch break and return immediately to your daily routine with no interruption.

Can I Go Right Back to Work After a BOTOX Treatment?

Because there is no downtime with BOTOX, you should be able to resume regular activity after your treatment. You may experience redness or tenderness, but there are no activity limitations following BOTOX injections.

What Results Can I Expect With BOTOX?

You may notice changes immediately following the injections, but full results can take up to 2 weeks to be visible. These results typically last approximately 3 to 4 months before you will need maintenance treatments. BOTOX injections can be maintained every 3 to 4 months in order to provide the best anti-aging results.

How Can I Avoid Plastic or Unnatural-Looking Results?

To avoid looking "frozen" or plastic after BOTOX injections, it's important you seek a qualified provider that has expert knowledge of the facial anatomy and extensive training and experience administering the treatment. Technique is just as important to your results. Starting with a smaller amount of product and building to your desired results can help avoid these unwanted effects.
