What is BOTOX?

BOTOX Injections Manhattan & Upper East Side is a non-surgical, FDA-approved neuromodulator administered as injections into the facial muscles responsible for wrinkle-forming contractions. It is used to treat frown lines, glabellar creases, and crow’s feet, restoring a youthful, vibrant beauty. When administered by a qualified, experienced practitioner, BOTOX can rewind the clock on facial aging, acting as a viable alternative to more invasive cosmetic procedures. Clients enjoy a well-rested, relaxed countenance without discomfort or downtime.

How Does BOTOX Work?

BOTOX is a form of botulinum toxin that is safe for cosmetic use. It temporarily blocks the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, signaling the brain to halt muscle contractions in the injected areas. This mechanism helps smooth away lines that form as a result of laughing, frowning, smiling, and squinting (dynamic lines.) Some clients worry that BOTOX may take away their individuality or permanently alter their facial expressions.

This is not the case. BOTOX can be artfully injected by a trained, knowledgeable provider to ease the signs of aging without sacrificing your natural facial spontaneity or unique essence. Results last 3-5 months, at which point the treatment can be repeated. If the patient opts not to repeat their injections, the skin will simply return to its normal appearance.

BOTOX Recovery

At Core Aesthetics New York, we understand our clients’ busy, active lifestyles and know they are eager to get in and out of the office quickly. BOTOX injections come with no downtime and can be administered over your lunch break. Patients can immediately resume their normal schedules afterward. Minor side effects may include swelling, bruising, or tenderness localized at the injection sites, but these symptoms dissipate within a matter of hours or by the next day.

Dr. Kiwanuka cautions that you don’t rub, touch, or massage the skin after your BOTOX session, as this can cause the product to migrate to unintended regions of the face. Don’t lie down for the first 4 hours after treatment. While you may be eager to resume your workouts, postponing exercise for the first 24 hours is important. You should also avoid alcohol and exposure to intense heat for 1-2 days.
