Botox – Manhattan

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA approved treatment for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe wrinkles of the face due to repeated movement of certain facial muscles. It is used for both medical and cosmetic purposes. BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks nerve impulses which reduce movement of specific muscles thereby smoothing out the area.

The most popular use of BOTOX® Cosmetic is to smooth out the glabellar frown line that appears between the eyes. BOTOX® Cosmetic is also used for horizontal frown lines that appear on the forehead, browlift, crow’s feet, pebbled chin, downturned mouth, neck wrinkles, migraine headaches and lip lines caused by smoking, sun damage, and aging. Dormer Medical Spa offers the kind of Botox Manhattan patients are looking for. They use only Allergan BOTOX® Cosmetic and the effect takes 4-10 days to initially observe and generally lasts 3-6 months. Most patients receive BOTOX® Cosmetic injections 2 to 4 times a year.

We also are an approved site for the treatment of excess sweating or hyperhydrosis of the underarms and palms. BOTOX® Cosmetic controls excess sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. The median duration of relief seems to be 7 months.

Content About Line and Wrinkle Reduction

Over time, lines naturally appear on the face and fullness is lost in the face and lips. These problems occur commonly because of facial expression, genetics, and sun damage. To fill in the lines at rest (versus lines of movement with Botox) we use many types of fillers. Sometimes for maximum effect injectable implants, in addition to the kind of Botox Manhattan medical practices offer, are used. Fillers are commonly used to:

  • Reduce lines between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds) and lines at the lower corner of the mouth (marionette lines)
  • Fill in smile and 'frown' lines
  • Diminish scars
  • Restore natural contour in the cheeks, cheekbones and lower jaw

Examples of fillers include:

  • Radiesse™ - consists of hydroxyapatite which is generally used for deep lines and generally lasts at least one year. It is used for facial sculpting.
  • Hylaform®, Juvaderm, Restylane (Hyalauronic acid based filler) – generally lasts 4-7 months
  • Cosmoplast, Cosmoderm (human purified protein) – generally lasts up to 6 months

Using fillers in combination for different wrinkle depths often gives maximum results
