BOTOX® Injections in Manhattan, NYC
Page Updated:
Looking to refresh your appearance without surgery or downtime? At 740 Park Plastic Surgery in NYC, we offer BOTOX® Cosmetic — the world’s leading injectable treatment for smoothing out fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. Whether you’re concerned about forehead creases, crow’s feet, or frown lines, BOTOX can help restore a youthful, well-rested look in just minutes.
Our patients love that BOTOX can be customized to suit their goals — and often combine it with dermal fillers for more complete facial rejuvenation.
What Is BOTOX and How Does It Work?
BOTOX is an FDA-approvedinjectable treatment that uses a purified form of botulinum toxin to relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are those fine lines and creases that form from repetitive facial expressions, such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.1
When injected into targeted facial muscles, BOTOX blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscles to contract. By gently relaxing these muscles, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming. The result is a more youthful, refreshed appearance that looks natural when administered by a skilled injector.
The FDA first approved BOTOX Cosmetic in 2002 for the treatment of frown lines, and it was later approved to treat glabellar lines (“elevens” between the eyebrows), crow’s feet, and forehead lines.2 It has since become the most widely used cosmetic injectable in the United States, with millions of treatments performed annually.
BOTOX Treatment Areas in Manhattan
BOTOX can be used to treat a variety of facial areas affected by dynamic wrinkles. Our injectors at 740 Park customize treatment plans based on your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Common Treatment Areas
Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines that develop across the forehead from raising your eyebrows are among the most common concerns. BOTOX smooths these lines effectively, creating a more relaxed appearance.
Frown Lines (Glabella): The vertical lines between your eyebrows, often called the “11s,” are caused by frowning and concentrating. BOTOX softens these lines, reducing the appearance of anger or fatigue.
Crow’s Feet: Fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes are a natural sign of aging and smiling. BOTOX smooths these delicate lines, brightening the eye area.
Bunny Lines: Small wrinkles on the sides of the nose that appear when you scrunch your nose can be softened with BOTOX injections.
Lip Lines (Smoker’s Lines): Vertical lines above the upper lip can be treated with BOTOX to create a smoother lip contour.
Masseter Reduction: BOTOX can be injected into the masseter muscles along the jawline to reduce jaw clenching, alleviate TMJ discomfort, and create a more refined jawline appearance.
Preventative BOTOX: Younger patients in their late 20s and 30s increasingly use BOTOX preventatively to stop wrinkles before they form, maintaining smoother skin and reducing the need for more aggressive treatments later.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?
BOTOX is suitable for most adults looking to address dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. However, certain factors determine candidacy.
Ideal candidates are:
- 18 years or older
- In good overall health
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Free from neuromuscular disorders
- Seeking preventative or corrective wrinkle treatment
- Interested in non-surgical facial rejuvenation3
First-time BOTOX patients often worry about looking unnatural. At 740 Park Beauty & Hair Restoration, we take a conservative approach with first-time clients, starting with lower doses and adjusting at follow-up appointments to ensure you achieve your desired results. Our philosophy is to enhance your natural beauty, not transform your appearance.
During your consultation with Tamara Spaide, RN, MLA, our Allergan-certified injector, we’ll discuss your goals, examine your facial structure, and determine the best treatment plan for your unique needs.
Your BOTOX Consultation at 740 Park
Your journey to natural-looking results begins with a thorough consultation. During this appointment, we’ll:
- Review your medical history and current medications
- Discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns
- Examine your facial anatomy and muscle movement patterns
- Explain how BOTOX will address your specific wrinkles
- Answer all your questions about the procedure, results, and aftercare
- Develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your face
Consultations are an opportunity to build trust and ensure you feel confident moving forward. We believe that the best results come from clear communication and realistic expectations.
The BOTOX Treatment Procedure
BOTOX injections are quick, minimally invasive, and require no downtime. Here’s what to expect during your appointment at our Manhattan office.
Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The entire procedure typically takes 10-20 minutes.
Injection Process: Using a fine needle, Tamara will inject BOTOX into the targeted facial muscles, applying her extensive clinical experience and deep understanding of facial anatomy to ensure precise placement and balanced results. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch. The number of units injected depends on your treatment areas and desired results.
Immediate Aftercare: You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. There’s no recovery period or downtime required.

BOTOX Results and Timeline
Understanding the timeline for BOTOX results helps set realistic expectations.
Days 1-3: You may notice slight redness or minor swelling at injection sites, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
Days 5-7: Results begin to appear as the BOTOX starts to take effect. You’ll notice a gradual softening of wrinkles.
Days 10-14: Full results are typically visible by two weeks post-treatment. Your skin will appear smoother, more refreshed, and more youthful.
Duration: BOTOX results last approximately 90-120 days, or about 3-4 months. As the effects gradually wear off, your facial expressions and wrinkles will slowly return to their pre-treatment appearance. Many patients schedule maintenance appointments every 3-4 months to maintain their results.
Longevity: Some patients find that with repeated treatments, results last slightly longer as the muscles become conditioned to remain relaxed.
Aftercare Instructions for BOTOX
Proper aftercare ensures optimal results and minimizes the risk of complications.
Do’s:
- Keep your head upright for at least 4 hours after treatment
- Apply ice to injection sites if needed to reduce swelling
- Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours
- Wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin
Don’ts:
- Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 24-48 hours
- Don’t lie down or bend over for at least 4 hours after treatment
- Avoid facial massages, facials, or other facial treatments for 24 hours
- Don’t apply makeup immediately after treatment (wait at least 4 hours)
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours before and after treatment
- Don’t rub or manipulate the injection sites
Following these guidelines helps ensure the BOTOX settles properly and delivers the best possible results.
BOTOX vs. Other Injectable Treatments
While BOTOX is excellent for treating dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, other injectables address different concerns.
BOTOX vs. Dermal Fillers: BOTOX relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles, while dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane add volume to fill static wrinkles and hollow areas. Many patients benefit from combining both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
BOTOX vs. Dysport: Both are neurotoxins that work similarly, but Dysport may spread slightly more, making it ideal for larger treatment areas. Some patients prefer one over the other based on personal response.
Combination Treatments: At 740 Park Beauty & Hair Restoration, we often recommend combining BOTOX with dermal fillers, microneedling with AQUAGOLD Fine Touch, chemical peels, or other non-surgicalcosmetic treatments for enhanced results. This multi-modal approach addresses both dynamic and static wrinkles, providing comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
BOTOX Pricing and Cost
BOTOX pricing varies based on the number of units needed and the areas being treated. At 740 Park Beauty & Hair Restoration in Manhattan, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options.
Factors affecting cost include:
- Number of treatment areas
- Extent of wrinkles and muscle mass
- Desired level of correction
- Individual metabolism and response to treatment
We recommend scheduling a consultation to receive a personalized quote based on your specific needs. Many patients find that the investment in BOTOX is worthwhile given the natural-looking results and minimal downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions About BOTOX
Is BOTOX safe?
BOTOX works by temporarily relaxing the specific muscles that cause wrinkles from facial expressions, such as frowning or squinting. It doesn’t affect your entire body — only the targeted areas. By softening these repetitive movements, BOTOX smooths the skin and helps prevent deeper lines from forming.
What are the potential side effects or complications?
Common side effects are minimal and temporary, including slight redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites. Rare complications may include headache, flu-like symptoms, or temporary drooping of nearby muscles if injected incorrectly. This is why choosing an experienced, certified injector is essential.
Can I combine BOTOX with other treatments?
Absolutely. BOTOX pairs beautifully with dermal fillers, microneedling, AQUAGOLD Fine Touch, chemical peels, and other non-surgical treatments. Combining modalities allows us to address multiple signs of aging simultaneously, delivering more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, we’ll discuss combination options that align with your goals.
What if I'm not happy with my results?
While BOTOX results are subtle and natural-looking, we understand that expectations vary. If you’re concerned about your results, contact us immediately. In rare cases, the effects of BOTOX can be partially reversed with an injection of hyaluronidase, though this is rarely necessary.
Does BOTOX hurt?
Most patients describe BOTOX injections as minimally uncomfortable. The needle is very fine, and the procedure is quick. We apply topical numbing cream to further minimize any discomfort.
How long does BOTOX last?
Results typically last 90-120 days, or about 3-4 months. Some patients experience longer-lasting results with repeated treatments as their muscles become conditioned.
Can men get BOTOX?
Yes, BOTOX is increasingly popular among men seeking to maintain a youthful appearance while preserving their masculine features. We customize treatment to ensure natural-looking results for all patients.
Is BOTOX permanent?
No, BOTOX is not permanent. Results gradually fade as your body metabolizes the product. This reversibility is one of the advantages of BOTOX, as it allows you to discontinue treatment at any time without lasting effects.
Can I get BOTOX if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to receive BOTOX. While studies suggest BOTOX is unlikely to harm a developing fetus, we prioritize caution during this sensitive time.

What is the difference between preventative BOTOX and corrective BOTOX?
Preventative BOTOX is used by younger patients (typically in their late 20s and 30s) to stop wrinkles before they form, maintaining smoother skin and reducing the need for more aggressive treatments later. Corrective BOTOX is used to treat existing wrinkles and fine lines. Both approaches use the same product and technique, but preventative treatment typically requires lower doses and earlier intervention.
