BOTOX FAQ’s

Introduction

Botox & Wrinkle Relaxers

As we age, the fine lines become more prominent and the appearance of wrinkles is inevitable. But they certainly don’t have to be permanent, as there are a number of popular options to smooth out the skin and eliminate wrinkles. BOTOX is one of the most popular and widely used treatments for facial wrinkles. Wrinkle Relaxers have also become an increasingly common method of reducing age lines and wrinkles. Both treatments are non-invasive, and non-surgical, requiring zero downtime.

Dr. Cohn routinely sees BOTOX patients from all over Nassau County, Suffolk County, Long Island, and even from Manhattan. His boutique office is located in Smithtown, New York, making it a convenient destination for any BOTOX patients on the North Shore.

BOTOX Basics

What Is BOTOX?

Many people are already familiar with the popularity of BOTOX and its effects. This is a non-invasive treatment that uses an injectable filler made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum that when used in small doses, can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox can also treat health problems such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraines. The Botox injections work in that they weaken or paralyze targeted muscles or block certain nerves, enabling better function.

Our range of wrinkle relaxers work in tandem with or similar to botox, to help reduce or slow down the signs of aging. Dr. Cohn works to ensure all his patients are satisfied with the results.

What to expect on the day of a BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers treatment

On the day of your BOTOX or wrinkle relaxer treatment, we will make you comfortable in our treatment chair and apply a numbing agent on your skin or a topical numbing cream, to ensure there is no pain from the needle itself. Dr. Cohn will administer the BOTOX or Wrinkle Relaxer injections in the areas that have been mapped out and specified during your consultation. The procedure itself is quick and non-invasive. The BOTOX treatment can be as short as 20 minutes, but the exact time will depend on the areas being treated on the day of your appointment.

Once Dr. Cohn has completed injecting the focus areas, he will clean your skin, and allow you to take a look at his work so you can approve it. If you are happy with what you see, the treatment is complete and you will be free to go about your day as normal. There is no downtime after getting a BOTOX or Wrinkle Relaxer treatment.

BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers recovery

Dr. Cohn will give you instructions not to rub or massage the areas injected, to allow time for the BOTOX or Wrinkle Relaxer to set in. Rubbing the skin too hard after getting BOTOX or a wrinkle relaxer may cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to other areas of the face.

You may experience some soreness after the treatment, which will fade quite quickly if you take care to relax after the procedure. It is important to follow Dr. Cohn’s post-treatment advice and instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and astonishing results.
