Discover The Benefits Of Botox

Find out whether Botox treatment could give you that beautiful, younger-looking skin.

While laugh lines may sound pleasant they certainly don’t seem as pleasant when that’s all you notice when you look in the mirror. If you hate the wrinkles and lines that have crept over your face over the years our Forest Hills, NY dermatologist Dr. Tamara Moss can help. Surgery isn’t always necessary. In fact, we can smooth out skin and improve your appearance with a simple procedure known as Botox.

What is Botox?

This cosmetic procedure uses a purified form of Botulinum toxin. When injected into the muscles of the skin Botox is able to temporarily paralyze the muscles to stop them from contracting. As a result, static wrinkles and lines that appear when making facial expressions are smoothed away.

What issues can Botox address?

Botox is great for laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, lines around the nose and mouth, and crow’s feet. Any wrinkles that show up when you smile, frown or make other expressions will respond best to treatment. Wrinkles caused by sun damage will not work as well to Botox treatment. It’s also important to note that Botox is not a dermal filler. It will not fill in sagging areas to reduce the appearance of wrinkles it will only relax the muscles that causes wrinkles to form.

What are the advantages of choosing this cosmetic treatment?

Botox is a great cosmetic treatment because it’s fast, simple and effective. When people think about cosmetic dermatology they often think of invasive surgeries with a long recovery time. But with Botox, you won’t have to worry about aggressive treatments, incisions, cutting or anesthesia.

Botox makes it easy for patients to get the results they want without having to spend all day with our Forest Hills skin doctor. We know how busy you are and spending a whole day in the office isn’t really ideal or practical. Fortunately, getting Botox injections only takes a few minutes and the slight pinch or sting that you experience from these injections is so minor that many people can tolerate them without needing a topical numbing gel.

While many people are amazed and happy with their results if you aren’t happy for some reason you don’t have to worry that your results will be permanent. In fact, results only last between four to six months. And if you are happy with your appearance after Botox you can continue to get more treatments every few months to maintain your results.
