Botox NYC

Botox® injections are among the more popular cosmetic procedures designed to reduce the signs of aging in the facial area. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), about 7 percent of people considering cosmetic procedures express an interest in Botox.

What is Botox?

Botox is a patented product made from botulinum toxin. Used as a wrinkle treatment, Botox can help reduce the appearance of aging by smoothing “crow’s feet” around the eyes, forehead furrows, frown lines and skin bands along the neck. Botox helps lessen the appearance of wrinkles by blocking muscular nerve signals in the treated areas. If you desire a more dramatic change, you may be a good candidate for cosmetic surgery, such as facelift surgery or rhinoplasty. If you simply want to enhance your appearance by smoothing out specific areas of wrinkles and worry lines, Botox can help provide the desired results.

Types of Botox

Although the toxin that forms the basis for Botox treatments is derived from bacteria, the type used in facial rejuvenation treatments is purified and suitable for aesthetic and medicinal purposes. Botulinum toxin comes in various types, such as type E, B, and D. Type A, also known as onobatulinumtoxinA (Botox, Botox Cosmetic), is the variety used in the treatment of wrinkles. Botox injections are administered in a precise manner through tiny injections in the skin.

Pricing Information

When compared to other types of cosmetic procedures, Botox is more affordable than most surgical alternatives, such as brow lifts and facelifts. The average price of a Botox procedure throughout the United States costs upwards of $450 dollars, according to the ASPS. The exact amount for your individual procedure can vary, depending on the extent of your treatment. Please call Taranow Plastic Surgery at (212) 772-2100 for current pricing or to schedule an appointment.

Recovery Time

Unlike more extensive aesthetic procedures, Botox requires no downtime and you can plan on returning to your regular activities immediately. The effects of Botox are not permanent, although they are long-lasting and will last approximately six months. Adhering to a regular schedule of follow-up injections will help maintain optimal results.
