Learn How BOTOX® Creates a More Youthful Look

BOTOX® Cosmetic has been the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world for years.  The active ingredient is botulinum toxin type A, which is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. While the seeing the word “toxin” is intimidating, the amount used in a cosmetic treatment is tiny and highly diluted, which is why the FDA has approved it for use for years. 

It targets facial lines known as “dynamic wrinkles,” which form from constant muscle activity that pulls on the skin. Each time your eyebrows bunch together, for example, the skin between them creases just a little bit. Over time, these daily creases add up into noticeable folds that become obvious as soon as you make a particular facial expression. The lines can eventually become visible at rest without expression.

To prevent these lines from developing and deepening, BOTOX® prevents targeted muscles from pulling on the skin. The more relaxed your muscles are, the fewer lines and wrinkles you’ll have! With the benefits of BOTOX® treatment, you can feel free to make any expressions you’d like, confident that you look as approachable and refreshed as you feel.

With BOTOX® at Long Island’s VITRA Aesthetics Clinic, our injectors can accomplish beautifully comprehensive facial rejuvenation without plastic surgery. The wrinkle relaxer is ideal for smoothing horizontal frown lines on the forehead, glabellar lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet that extend from the outer corners of the eyes, bunny lines that develop on either side of the nose, and fine lines that form above the upper lip.

What Can BOTOX® Do For You?

We target BOTOX® injections into carefully selected muscles. These are the muscles that specifically control the skin that folds into furrows. The FDA approved BOTOX® for smoothing:

  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Worry or frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Crow’s feet
  • Bunny lines that form on the sides of the nose
  • A heavy or low-set brow
  • A dimpled or “cobblestone” chin
  • A square-looking jawline, treated with masseter BOTOX®
  • Frown lines on the lower part of the face
  • Lip lines, sometimes called “smoker’s lines
  • Gummy smile or downturned corners of the mouth
  • Platysmal bands (or neck bands) for a smoother neck and jawline

We can also perform a “lip flip” to make the upper lip unfurl and appear fuller without actually adding volume, as well as injections to lift the corners of the mouth. Our extensive work with BOTOX® allows us to tailor each session to the individual, which means you get an experience and results customized to your face and goals.

In addition to the standard treatments, we also offer a modified microdroplet and exclusive “baby BOTOX®” facial wrinkle reduction treatment.

The injectable can also be used to treat “hyperhidrosis,” which is the medical term for excessive sweating. By injecting it into overactive glands in the underarms, palms, or

In addition to the standard treatments, we also offer a modified microdroplet and exclusive “baby BOTOX®” facial wrinkle reduction treatment.

The injectable can also be used to treat “hyperhidrosis,” which is the medical term for excessive sweating. By injecting it into overactive glands in the underarm area, the palms, or scalp, we can “relax” the sweat-producing glands to keep you drier.

TMJ is another one people are often surprised to hear we treat. If you clench your jaw, or if grinding is causing tension or headaches, injecting BOTOX® into the masseter muscle can ease that strain while giving the jawline a softer contour.

Who Is a Good Candidate For BOTOX®?

BOTOX®is ideal for a wide range of adults who want to reduce the look of facial lines and wrinkles that mainly appear when they make certain expressions. At VITRA, you don’t have to decide if you’re a good candidate for BOTOX® on your own. Your board-certified injector will thoroughly discuss your medical history, the condition of your skin, your cosmetic goals, and any potential side effects—all with the goal of letting you know exactly which treatment would work best.

A common reason patients come in for BOTOX treatments is because they are changing their cosmetic goals. As patients age, their concerns often evolve from specific—such as treating a strong frown line they’ve inherited from a parent—to general anti-aging concerns. However, many are looking to avoid expensive cosmetic surgery or facelifts as they age, which makes BOTOX® injections a great alternative.

Younger people can also benefit from BOTOX®, which can also be used as a wrinkle-prevention treatment. It keeps wrinkle-causing muscles relaxed, delaying the formation of lines on the face.

Did you know that the number of men receiving BOTOX® cosmetic treatments over the past 20 years has risen by 325 percent?

At VITRA Aesthetics Clinic, we have absolutely seen a rise in the popularity of injectables for men in recent years, and we encourage men in the Long Island area to reach out to see if BOTOX works for their cosmetic goals.

What Makes VITRA Aesthetics Clinic in Long Island, NY a Go-to Choice for BOTOX®?

Confidence in your own appearance plays a huge part in how you live each day. The VITRA Aesthetics Clinic team, serving Islip, Huntington, Smithtown, and Massapequa in Long Island, NY is totally committed to empowering you by helping you reclaim a look that communicates the vitality, approachability, and joy you feel, no matter your age!

How does that work? It starts with experience. Our professional injectors are medical clinicians who are thoroughly trained and routinely perform BOTOX® treatments for a diverse group of patients each day. This close familiarity with the injectable allows us to provide reliably natural-looking results in the treatment areas with integrity and care.

As for the experience itself, topical anesthetics and ice are offered to numb the skin prior to each treatment in order to provide patients with a refreshingly comfortable experience.

Will BOTOX® Make Me Look "Frozen"?

It’s the number one worry we hear from first-time patients, and it’s a fair one. Nobody wants to walk out looking like they can’t raise an eyebrow. The good news is that overdone results usually come down to too much product in the wrong spots, not the treatment itself.

Our injectors keep things conservative on purpose. We’d rather you come back in three weeks and add a touch more than deal with a face that doesn’t move right for months. During your consultation, tell us exactly what you’re going for, whether that’s “I just want to look less tired” or “get rid of this line for good,” and we’ll build the plan around that instead of a standard formula.

What Happens After BOTOX® Injections?

Injections can be completed quickly, and patients can get right back to their planned day after a session with minimal downtime. In fact, many people schedule their BOTOX® appointments for their lunch break.

The beautiful results will develop over two to eight days following the BOTOX® injections, and patients come back in at the three-week point to have their results checked.

The smoother, more youthful look can be enjoyed for about three months, after which movement will gradually return to the facial muscles. Muscle contractions have typically regained about half of their power by three months, and about 80 percent of motion is restored at four months.

Anyone who wants to maintain their confidence-boosting results is encouraged to get a new treatment at the three-or four-month mark.

BOTOX®Side Effects

BOTOX® has a strong safety track record, but just like any injectable, it can come with some side effects. Most are mild and go away on their own within a few days.

The most common ones include:

  • Redness, swelling, or mild bruising right at the injection site
  • A mild headache for a day or so after treatment 
  • Slight soreness where the injections were given
  • Temporary numbness or a heavy feeling in the treated area

Less common side effects patients experience include  eyelid or brow drooping, or a temporarily uneven look, if the product shifts or spreads slightly beyond the intended muscle. This usually resolves on its own within a few weeks as the treatment wears off, and it’s much less likely to happen when you’re working with an experienced injector.

Serious reactions are rare, but contact your provider immediately  if you experience difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking, or any signs of an allergic reaction like hives or severe swelling.

BOTOX® isn’t recommended for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for those with certain neuromuscular conditions. Be sure to share your full medical history at your consultation so they can confirm it’s a good fit for you.

Is There a Way to Save on BOTOX®?

You know the saying “You get what you pay for.” Beware of Groupon deals, discount products, “too good to be true” BOTOX® costs, “cheap” treatments, and just choosing the least expensive option when you search “BOTOX® near me.” When you pay for a treatment session, you are not just paying for what should be the genuine product. You are also paying for the skill and experience of the injector.

For the best BOTOX® results, choose a trusted, experienced, and compassionate injector. The best way to save money on treatments is to enroll in Alle®, the free loyalty program by manufacturer Allergan. You can earn points for savings on future treatments!

What Options Does VITRA Aesthetics Clinic in Long Island, NY Offer Besides BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is most typically used in the upper third of the face to address crow’s feet, frown lines, and horizontal forehead lines. The forehead area is also the most common target for Dysport® and Xeomin®, other brands of neuromodulators on the market that work the same way.

For signs of aging, soft, injectable, gel-like substances known as dermal fillers can be used. Fillers can reduce the depth of creases, reshape the face by enhancing the cheeks or chin, add volume to the lips, “lift” the bridge of the nose, rejuvenate the hands, and more. VITRA Aesthetics Clinic in Long Island NY offers fillers from the Juvederm® family, fillers from the Restylane® family, and Sculptra®.
