Before & After Photos

What should I expect during my recovery after botulinum toxin injections?

No anesthesia is required. There is no downtime or recovery time for botulinum toxin injections.

You may resume normal activities immediately.

One note of caution: Don't rub or massage the treated areas after the wrinkle treatment because it can cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to another area of your face. If this happens, you could have temporary facial weakness or drooping.

Baby Botox
"In terms of Baby Botox, yes, I think that very few units that are very dilute, which is not a huge cost, that is fantastic to help prevent wrinkles. In your twenties, you don't really need that much, but it does help."
