We offer BOTOX® treatments at our Mineola and Port Washington offices in the Long Island area. Please call us for an appointment.

BOTOX®  treatment is a revolutionary approach to reversing the affects facial wrinkles. Crows feet, worry lines and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past. These are referred to as dynamic wrinkle lines and all are treatable with this procedure. Cosmetic denervation is the process of injecting  BOTOX® into the tiny facial muscles that create the wrinkles.   BOTOX® has been used for many years to treat medical conditions often associated with severe muscle spasm.

Before BOTOX® Surgery

To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history prior to surgery. In addition, a complete examination of your eyes is made in order to decide the most effective injection sites. All issues and concerns will be discussed.

The areas that will be treated are marked and digital photographs are taken in order to determine the amount of improvement after surgery.

The BOTOX® Procedure

BOTOX® injections are performed without anesthesia because they are virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment's effect. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience such dramatic results. BOTOX® is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging. Dr. Siegel performs BOTOX® injections in many areas of the face and neck.  These treatments may be performed in conjunction with other therapies such as THERMAGE, RESTYLANE, LASER SKIN RESURFACING, LIPOSUCTION OF THE FACE AND NECK, among others.

Post-Operative Information

After the operation patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. Normal activities can be performed immediately. Possible side effects are temporary weakness of nearby muscles or in rare cases an eyelid may droop. BOTOX® is completely reversible so any side effect is only a temporary condition. Dr. Siegel will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.
