BOTOX® Cosmetic in New York, NY
Men and women of all ages develop fine lines and wrinkles due to repeated facial expressions and muscle movements. BOTOX® Cosmetic in New York is an effective option for patients who want to stay ahead of the aging game and address these lines but cannot take time away from work for more invasive treatments.
What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin type A. When injected into the facial muscles, it blocks the chemical signals that instruct the muscles to contract, thereby relaxing and preventing expression-causing lines and wrinkles from forming. As a result, BOTOX®Cosmetic is a highly effective, surgery-free form of facial enhancement.

Am I a Candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments are like a liquid facelift — safe, refreshing, and rejuvenating. This injectable treatment is best suited for eliminating moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, laugh lines, and other fine wrinkles in the face.
Candidates for BOTOX® Cosmetic are men and women looking to temporarily reduce their dynamic lines and wrinkles (lines caused by repeated muscle movements). BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used as a preventive or corrective measure, depending on the extent of your facial aging.
BOTOX® Cosmetic candidates:
- Are at least 18 years old
- Have realistic expectations of their results
- Are in generally good health
It is important to be aware that BOTOX® Cosmetic cannot correct severe facial aging and skin sagging. In those cases, patients will likely benefit from a surgical facelift.
BOTOX®Cosmetic will also not restore volume to the face. Neuromodulators work with facial muscles, not facial fat. If you are interested in restoring lost facial volume, you can choose to combine dermal fillers or facial fat transfer to your BOTOX®Cosmetic treatment.
