Smoothing Serum Injections can safely and successfully treat wrinkles that are caused by muscular movement. It takes 24-72 hours for the serum to take effect, reflecting the time needed for the neuromodulator to disrupt the synaptosomal process. The final result of the Smoothing Serum treatment appears on day 10 post-treatment.

Applications of Smoothing Serum include:

• forehead wrinkles
• eyebrow lift (droopy eyebrows)
• frown lines or “11’s” (vertical creases between the eyebrows)
• crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes)
• bunny lines (lines on the side of the nose)
• gummy smiles (reduces appearance of gums when smiling)
• grinding and clenching of the teeth (TMJ)
• jaw reshaping for a slimmer jawline
• treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of armpits, palms and feet)
• smile lift (drooping corners of the mouth)
• pebble chin (dimples and creases on chin)
• prominent neck bands
• lip lines (smoker’s lines)
• migraines
• nose tip lift (drooping nose)
• lines beneath the eyes
• facial asymmetry from Bell’s Palsy
• nasal flaring
• horizontal neck lines
• facial twitching (eye twitching, blepharospasm)
• neck & back pain (cervical dystonia, thoracic dystonia, lumbar dystonia)
• facelift (Nefertiti Lift)
• rosacea (blotchy reddening of the skin)

Results typically last 3 to 5 months depending on the individual and the area being treated. Regularly scheduled treatments will prevent the wrinkles from returning to full strength and improve long-term results, virtually reversing the aging process. If treatments are discontinued the targeted muscles may regain their strength and return to pre-treatment appearance.

PRE-TREATMENT CARE

To reduce the risk of bruising, do not take any anti-inflammatory or blood thinning medications for 1 week before the Smoothing Serum treatment. This includes Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Antihistamine Medications, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and Garlic supplements. Avoid consuming alcohol the night prior to Smoothing Serum treatment.
Do not schedule injections before an event. Allow at least 2 weeks before any major event in case of any bruising or swelling occurs.

POST-TREATMENT CARE

• Do NOT rub or manipulate the area that has been injected with the Smoothing Serum solution. This can result in migration from the targeted muscle.
• DO exercise the treated muscles for 1-2 hours after the procedure. (e.g. practice frowning, furrowing, raising eyebrows, squinting, etc). This helps the solution bind to the targeted area, and will lengthen the duration of the result.
• Stay in an upward vertical position following your treatment. DO NOT lie flat or move into a forward bending position for 2 hours after the procedure. Lying down can cause the solution to migrate from the targeted muscle and lead to complications.
• Although some patients may experience treatment effect in 24-72 hours, most patients do not notice full treatment effect for 7-14 days following treatment.
• Although extremely rare, allergic reactions to the Smoothing Serum can occur. If you experience EXTREME skin redness, swelling or rash, of SEVERELY swollen or puffy eyes, or SEVERE headache, you may be allergic to or have developed antibodies to the serum from previous treatment. You MUST call the office immediately to be seen.
• No straining, heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for 24 hours post injection. It takes the serum approximately 2 hours to bind itself to the nerve to start working; we do not want to increase circulation to the injected area which can result in the migration or “washing away” of the product.
• The art of injecting is not an exact science. On rare occasions, the desired effect may not be achieved. This simply means that your muscle is stronger than the average muscle and you require additional units.
• After Smoothing Serum treatment, if you have questions, concerns, or experience any problems, please call our office at 212.517.1855.

You deserve to look and feel great about yourself. Taking care of your personal appearance gives you a healthy boost of self confidence. If wrinkles, fine lines, and looking tired are bringing you down, you may want to consider trying Botox injections to give you back the confidence you need. Many people from all walks of life in New York City are getting non-surgical cosmetic treatments like Botox to help them put their best face forward.

What is Botox?

Botox is an injectable neuromodulator that is used in a variety of non-surgical applications. It has been proven to be safe and effective in many clinical studies. Botox in NYC should be injected by a certified and experienced medical professional.

Botox temporarily prevents muscles from moving, which causes the application area to appear smoother, younger, rested, and relaxed. The effects of Botox in NYC are natural looking and beautiful.

Youthful Looking Skin

As we age, our skin becomes less elastic and we notice wrinkles, fine lines and sagging. Genetics, sun damage, stress, and poor skin care can all contribute to how quickly our skin ages. In order to stay looking as young as they feel at heart, many people opt for non-surgical skin smoothing injections like Botox in NYC to combat these visible signs of aging. It gives them an extra boost of self-confidence that helps them to get out there and achieve their goals.

Botox injections for wrinkle reduction can be used in a variety of areas, but they are especially popular around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. Deep furrows in the brow, crow’s feet around the eyes and deep wrinkling around the mouth can be smoothed in one appointment. Clients are often shocked at how great they look after their first Botox in NYC session. Botox injections allow them to look naturally youthful and well-rested.

Other Uses

Botox in NYC is not only used for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is also proven to help with urinary incontinence, involuntary muscle contractions, and muscle pain. Many people also use Botox to manage excessive sweating, chronic migraines, and TMJ pain.

What to Expect

Botox injections are quick, simple and require no recovery time. A very small needle is used to inject into the targeted areas. You will be able to return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment, but you should refrain from exercising or rubbing the area for 24 hours. You can expect to see the results of your injection within four to 10 days.

Botox injections should be repeated every three to five months, or when the effects have worn off, but you can expect beautiful results without the long-term commitment or painful recovery periods of permanent plastic surgery.
