BOTOX® Cosmetic, or botulinum toxin type A, is a diluted and purified material produced by the bacteria that causes botulism, a paralyzing neurotoxin.
The Food and Drug Administration approved BOTOX® Cosmetic in 1989.
Repeated muscle contractions from years of smiling, frowning, and surprise deepen facial lines. Once BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected, it targets the nerve endings that cause the contraction and blocks the release of a neurotransmitter, halting the signal that contracts the muscle. The BOTOX® then temporarily paralyzes the nerve until it begins to awaken again in about 4-6 months. Then another shot of BOTOX® Cosmetic restarts the process.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works best on the upper third of the face, on frown lines between the eyes, crow’s feet, and horizontal lines on the forehead. It temporarily freezes the nerves that signal the muscle to contract.
BOTOX® Cosmetic can take 5-7 days to take effect, but once it kicks in, the results can be very dramatic. BOTOX® Cosmetic can also be used to control severe palm or underarm sweating.
Many of our New York City patients want to address additional concerns besides wrinkles. During your consultation with Dr. Antell, you will discuss which treatments you can combine. Some of the most common treatments combined with BOTOX® Cosmetic and wrinkle relaxers include:
Dermal fillers add or restore volume, smooth out lines, soften creases, and enhance facial contours. They are made of a variety of materials, including Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Poly-L-lactic Acid, and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), depending on your preferences and aging concerns.
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that lifts sagging brows, smooths forehead creases, and reduces lines between the eyebrows. By tightening the underlying muscles and lifting soft tissues, a brow lift produces a more rested, alert, and youthful appearance.
Microneedling improves skin texture and smooths skin blemishes by creating micro-injuries in the skin with tiny needles. When these wounds form, the body’s natural wound-healing response kicks in, stimulating collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, clearer, healthier-looking skin.

You will review the treatment with Dr. Antell and ask any questions, if applicable. He will apply a topical numbing agent to the target areas. Once the numbing effect takes effect, he will carefully inject BOTOX® Cosmetic or another wrinkle relaxer into the areas with wrinkles just beneath the skin. It will feel like a quick pinch, but should not hurt. Dr. Antell will assess the results and add more only if necessary.
Your Guide to Post-BOTOX® Cosmetic & Wrinkle Relaxers Care
Downtime and recovery after your BOTOX® Cosmetic and wrinkle relaxer treatment in New York City are minimal. Aside from some mild swelling, redness, and bruising that fade quickly, your recovery should not involve much discomfort. You can take over-the-counter painkillers to tolerate these side effects.
You can resume most normal activities, but hold off on strenuous exercise or any other activities that cause sweating, such as saunas or hot tubs. Avoid sleeping on your stomach for the first 1-2 days, so the liquid neurotoxin does not migrate and cause asymmetry.
