What is Botox?
Approved by the FDA as an aesthetic treatment in the 1980s, Botox can be placed into specific muscles, causes controlled relaxation of those muscles. Botox is usually injected into facial muscles that form expression lines, which helps to soften these signs of aging and prevent the formation of additional wrinkles. When these muscles are relaxed, the lines and wrinkles they form also relax, resulting in a smoother appearance. The process is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime.

Dr. Farber is experienced and trained in using Botox for aesthetic purposes. As such, he has extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and knows precisely where the injections should be placed and the amounts of Botox necessary to produce naturally younger-looking results.

What is the Botox Treatment Process and Recovery?

Though some are more comfortable having a topical anesthetic applied before the injections, it is usually not necessary. Patients may feel a pinching sensation when the Botox is injected into their muscles, but the sensation is rarely painful. After the injections have been performed, the patient is free to go about his or her daily routine. Some swelling may occur at the injection sites, but this usually dissipates within several hours and can be easily covered with makeup.

Who is a Good Candidate for Botox?
Both men and women of all ages are usually good candidates for Botox as they are noticing lines and wrinkles due to repeated facial expressions but may not display the signs of aging that would require a surgical procedure, such as a brow lift or full facelift. Patients that do require surgery can often enhance their results with Botox. Ideal candidates are those who are in good health and who have reasonable expectations for the results of their Botox injections.
Can Botox Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Botox treats a very specific sign of aging: lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. It cannot restore volume or fullness to the face, and it cannot address sun damage, scarring, or excess skin. Because of this, it is often combined with other treatments to provide comprehensive aesthetic rejuvenation. Common treatments used in combination with Botox are dermal fillers, microneedling, laser resurfacing, Kybella®, eyelid, brow, face and procedures, and face and neck lifts. Microneedling and laser resurfacing can help with cellular turnover, and to promote collagen, so that sun damage and dull skin are improved; Kybella can dissolve extra fat under the chin, and dermal fillers can address hollowness or loss of volume to restore youthful facial contours. When Dr. Farber performs Botox consultations, he first discovers patients’ goals before suggesting additional treatments to complement their treatment.
