Botox injections help reduce and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles that contract with facial movements like smiling, frowning, and laughing. Botox is a safe, FDA-approved cosmetic treatment and can be administered during a quick office visit with minimal to no downtime. The Board-Certified Dermatologists at Northstar Dermatology specialize in facial anatomy, ensuring natural-looking results with Botox.
Botox is a botulinum toxin (protein) which is FDA approved to safely and effectively treat moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet (smile lines), and forehead lines. Boasting over 20 years of research, Botox is the most-studied product of its kind and is highly recommended by Board-Certified Dermatologists. Results are natural and subtle when performed by a trained professional.
Treatment areas:
Botox starts to take effect within two days of treatment, with optimal results appearing around 14 days. Typically, results last 3-4 months, although they can vary from person to person. To maintain results and prevent lines and wrinkles from deepening, re-treatment is recommended every four months.
Before your treatment, our cosmetic specialists will conduct a thorough full-face assessment to discuss your aesthetic goals and create a personalized plan. If Botox is recommended, treatment can often be performed the same day. Once you’re comfortably seated, our specialists will administer Botox to the targeted areas using a very fine needle to minimize any discomfort—many describe the sensation as a quick “pin-prick” or mild pinch. The procedure usually takes around 10-15 minutes, and patients can return to their regular activities immediately afterward.
