What Are BOTOX® & Neurotoxins?

BOTOX® and neurotoxins are noninvasive treatments that use an injectable substance called a neuromodulator, which is made from Clostridium Botulinum toxin. When used in the appropriate dose by a trained professional, neurotoxin can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

BOTOX® can also treat problems such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraines. The way BOTOX® injections work is by weakening or paralyzing targeted muscles, blocking sweat glands, or the action of certain nerves. Depending on the area being treated, the effects will last about three to four months and possibly longer. Most patients will need maintenance appointments to keep the results of BOTOX® consistent.

BOTOX® & Neurotoxins First Step

What’s the first step?

The first step to getting BOTOX® from Dr. Molina at our Lower Manhattan boutique practice is to schedule a consultation. During this session, you will speak with Dr. Molina to assess your aesthetic goals and determine whether you are a good candidate. The consultation is also your opportunity to discuss your medical and cosmetic concerns so we can make the best recommendations tailored to what will benefit you overall.

Dr. Molina can administer BOTOX® during the same appointment as your consultation.

What to Expect on the Day of a BOTOX® & Neurotoxin Treatment

Dr. Molina performs all BOTOX® and neurotoxin injections herself. She assesses your muscle movements and identifies the injection points that will give the best results. BOTOX® is administered with very tiny needles to these injection points. The amount of BOTOX® or neurotoxin required for each patient is patient-specific.

The treatment generally takes 20 minutes.

The effects of BOTOX® and DYSPORT® are not immediate and take approximately 4-7 days to begin having an effect. We recommend allowing two weeks after your injection to see the full effect of the treatment. It may take weeks for patients with deeper wrinkles to see these smooth out.

BOTOX® & Neurotoxins Recovery

The secret to a smooth recovery is to follow the instructions shared by Dr. Molina and her team to ensure you see the most stunning results possible.

Dr. Molina will advise you not to rub or massage the areas injected and not to lie down for 4 hours after receiving BOTOX®. Rubbing the skin too hard after getting BOTOX® may cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to other areas of the face, with unintended consequences.

You may experience some soreness after the treatment, which you can relieve with over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol or Motrin.

We recommend waiting 24 hours for heavy exercise.

Bruising is possible with any procedure or treatment done with a needle, but care is taken to avoid bruising as best as possible during the treatment sessions. Bruising from BOTOX® generally resolves in a few days.
