Botox in the Greater Boston Area

Our BOTOX treatments can reduce the depth of deep wrinkles, but this may take more than one treatment to achieve the desired look that you want. The doctor can prescribe a course of treatment for you once the consultation is done, determining how many injections would be needed and how many treatments might be needed to address deeper lines and wrinkles.

When the BOTOX wears off, the muscle will gradually reactivate and begin its normal activities of contracting as you go about your regular routines. This will lead to the gradual redevelopment of the lines or wrinkles. In some cases, these will come back with less severity than before treatment. If this is concerning to you, then definitely schedule a consultation to look into re-treating the areas of concern.

In the 1950s and 60's research developed around the beneficial aspects of what later became known as BOTOX. Scientists were able to purify the botulinum toxin type A into a crystalline form and then test its efficacy on blocking muscle contractions in medical applications. Research carried on through the '80s noting that during treatment of a condition that causes muscle spasms in the eyelids that there was a noticeable reduction of frown lines around the eye where the injections were done. This was a revelation to the cosmetic industry and led to more research specifically for use as a cosmetic treatment. In 2002 BOTOX got its US government approval as an effective cosmetic treatment for fine lines and wrinkles.

You will notice less movement in the area of the injections, but this is due to the BOTOX doing its job of relaxing the muscle.

If this is a concern for you, talk to us so we can numb the injection site with an ice pack or using a topical analgesic before treatment.

The number of injections is based on the depth of the lines or wrinkles you would like to treat. The doctor will be able to ascertain the number of injections that will be required to achieve the look you want during the consultation process. From that, he will be able to prescribe the best course of treatment that will be needed for you to achieve the brighter youthful look you desire.
