Welcome to Doctor Edges, where we rejuvenate your skin. Performed by our board-certified physicians, Botox can deliver a natural-looking and youthful face to help you rediscover your confidence. 

What is Botox? 

Botox is an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles of the face.  Specifically, it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of the face. It's a safe and effective way to achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion without need for surgery. We use Botox strategically to soften wrinkles around the eyes and forehead lines, providing a refreshed appearance while maintaining your unique facial expressions. 

Before receiving a Botox treatment, it’s important to distinguish between wrinkles that are caused by certain facial movements and wrinkles caused by the combination of gravity and decreased skin elasticity. Though these injections can be effective at addressing the former type of facial wrinkles, they will not diminish the appearance of lines caused by excessive sun exposure and gravity. This is because Botox injections target muscle movements, not skin damage. The latter is best treated with filler.

How long until I can resume my daily routine? 

Botox treatments at Doctor Edges are quick, with minimal downtime. You can return to your daily activities almost immediately, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. 

How does Botox work? 

Botox injections temporarily block communication between nerves and the targeted muscles. When injected correctly, the contraction of the targeted muscle will become significantly relaxed. Since the muscle doesn’t move much, it no longer pulls on the surrounding skin, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. 

It is important to note that for the results to look natural, Botox must be injected correctly, and into the right areas on the face. If too much Botox is used, or if it’s injected into the wrong parts of the face, the patient will be left with a fake appearance that makes it obvious that they’ve had cosmetic work performed. 

At Doctor Edges, our skilled physicians are highly trained in these injections. We have deep expertise in using just the right amounts of Botox for the face and neck and can pin-point the best injection sites with accuracy. Our treatments have helped many patients achieve a youthful appearance that looks natural and aesthetically pleasing.  

Where are the best areas for Botox treatment? 

Botox is most effective for treating dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles that you experience when you make facial expressions. They form over time due to repetitive facial movements. Such wrinkles mostly appear in the upper facial area. 

The FDA approved the following dynamic wrinkle areas for Botox treatment: 

Medical practitioners also commonly use Botox for “off-label” procedures. These additional Botox treatment areas are:
