BOTOX Princeton, NJ

This well-known procedure is popular for good reason—it is a straightforward process that delivers impressive and effective results.

Turn Back the Hands of Time

BOTOX is one of the most well-known anti-aging treatments, mainly due to its remarkable effectiveness. It not only significantly diminishes the appearance of wrinkles around the forehead and eyes, but it also prevents the formation of new or worse wrinkles. This noninvasive and nonsurgical injectable treatment uses Botulinum toxin to effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead and eyes. This treatment temporarily blocks nerve communication that causes muscle contractions in these areas. These repeated muscle contractions are responsible for the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. By inhibiting these contractions, BOTOX can temporarily diminish wrinkles for three to four months and help prevent future lines and wrinkles from forming.

Is BOTOX Right for Me?

BOTOX is a treatment suitable for just about anyone in good health. While most BOTOX candidates are in their 30s to 50s, an increasing number of patients in their 20s are seeking injections to prevent the appearance of future wrinkles. While most of our patients are women, we see more and more men also coming in to enjoy the benefits of BOTOX. As always, we recommend that our clients have a healthy understanding of the results that can be achieved with BOTOX. Patients who are pregnant or have a neurological medical condition should not be treated.

Your Initial Consultation

The best way to see if BOTOX in Princeton is right for you is by scheduling a one-on-one consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Hamawy. He will discuss your concerns and desired results to understand your expectations better and determine if they can be realistically accomplished. He will analyze your face and may recommend additional noninvasive treatments, such as fillers or chemicals, to achieve the desired outcome. Photographs will be taken for your medical record and to track progress. Dr. Hamawy will work with you to create a customized treatment plan based on your unique anatomical features. However, there is no pressure to schedule an appointment immediately, as our goal during the consultation is to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed with all the necessary tools to make an informed decision.

The Day of Your Procedure

BOTOX injections in Princeton are a quick and virtually painless treatment that can be easily squeezed into a patient's busy schedule. The treatment involves injecting a minimal amount of the agent into several areas on the patient's face using a fine micro-needle. Due to the small needle and quantity of the agent, patients typically experience no discomfort during the procedure. While there may be a minor sting that disappears after a few seconds, there is no discomfort after the process is complete. No anesthesia is required, and patients can immediately return to normal activities. The entire procedure takes between 15 to 30 minutes and is performed in-office. In some cases, patients may experience a small amount of swelling or bruising following the process, but these side effects can be easily concealed with makeup if desired.

Recovery and Results

Following the procedure, patients can typically resume their normal activities. However, it is important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent the spread of the treatment to unintended areas. The results of BOTOX injections typically become fully apparent within two to three days and can last up to four months before wearing off. While the face retains its natural look and movement, wrinkles from muscle contractions around the forehead and eyes are significantly diminished. Patients who wish to maintain their results will require another injection after four months. With repeated treatments, the effects of BOTOX may last even longer, up to eight months for some patients.
