The most common reasons for choosing Botox or Dysport include:
Quick & Simple: Botox injection are minimally invasive and non-surgical. Dr. Shapiro can complete this treatment within fifteen minutes in a single in-office visit.
Botox blocks the nerve signals that travel to your muscles of facial expression. Without these signals, your muscles will not contract, allowing wrinkles, lines and creases to soften and relax.
Dr. Shapiro will use a small needle to inject Botox below the skin of your targeted areas. He’ll determine a personalized dosage to deliver maximum muscle relaxation without freezing your face. The overall process will take 20 to 30 minutes, and you’ll be able to resume your normal activities following your appointment.
The results of your Botox injections will start to appear several days after the treatment. Complete results can take one to two weeks to appear. Make sure to wait a full seven days before deciding if your results are complete. Our office will reach out to you at that time to see how you’re doing and if you need a follow-up visit with Dr. Shapiro.
