BOTOX® in Boston can enhance your upper facial appearance for a fraction of the cost of a surgical facelift with minimal discomfort, and no downtime.
Ideal BOTOX® Candidates
Generally, BOTOX® is best for smoothing forehead wrinkles, lines between your eyebrows, and Crow’s feet. Fillers are best for plumping cheeks and lips, smoothing wrinkles around the mouth, and filling in shallow parts of the face. If you experience more severe and deeper lines, a combination of BOTOX® and a filler may be a better option.
BOTOX® can be thought of as a preventive, anti-aging treatment even if wrinkles have not yet formed — keep in mind how often you find yourself making facial expressions. It is an effective noninvasive solution if you have obvious forehead wrinkles or frown lines between the brows. It is also a solution for Crow's feet around the eyes. We also see patients for BOTOX® injections to stop migraines, teeth grinding, and excessive underarm sweating.
You are not a candidate for BOTOX® injections if:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have a neuromuscular disorder such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
- You have a medical history of Bell’s palsy or had a polio infection
- You are prescribed aminoglycoside therapy
