Dr. Alexandra Braunstein offers personalized BOTOX in Morristown as a non-surgical alternative for facial rejuvenation with natural-looking and long-lasting results. With a few simple injections, we can reverse the effects of aging and soften your unwanted facial wrinkles.
How Dynamic Wrinkles Appear
Dynamic wrinkles appear as a result of repeated facial expressions over time. As we smile, frown, or raise our eyebrows, the underlying muscles contract and cause the skin to fold. Over time, these folds can become etched into the skin, leading to the development of wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are often found in areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows, making us look older or more tired than we feel.
What is Botox?
BOTOX is a popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Derived from botulinum toxin type A, BOTOX in Morristown works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. BOTOX is a brand name for the medication onabotulinumtoxinA and is highly effective in reducing wrinkles and restoring a more youthful appearance to the face.

How Botox Works
Dynamic wrinkles appear because certain facial muscles are overused to convey expressions. BOTOX temporarily blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles, relaxing or paralyzing specific muscle groups. When applied to targeted facial muscles, BOTOX reduces their ability to contract, thus smoothing away the associated facial wrinkles and creases. The results appear gradually over 3 to 7 days and last for up to 6 months, depending on individual factors.
Other Neuromodulators We Offer...
Dysport
Dysport is another popular neuromodulator that works similarly to BOTOX in Morristown by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. The key difference with Dysport lies in its ability to spread over a larger area, making it particularly effective for treating larger regions like the forehead. Dysport provides natural-looking results and can begin to take effect slightly faster than BOTOX, typically within 2 to 3 days.
DAXXIFY
DAXXIFY is an innovative neuromodulator that offers long-lasting wrinkle reduction for up to 8 months. Unlike other neuromodulators, DAXXIFY is stabilized with a unique peptide formula, which allows it to last for extended periods, minimizing the need for follow-ups. It delivers the same smooth, youthful results by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, making it ideal for those looking for a longer-lasting solution to their dynamic wrinkles
How Long Does BOTOX Last?
The results of BOTOX treatments can be seen within 3 to 7 days, with full effects appearing in 1 to 2 weeks. The results are temporary, with most people experiencing a reduction in wrinkles for 3 to 6 months. Follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the results. The longevity of the results depends on the individual, with factors such as skin type, age, and the severity of wrinkles affecting the duration of the effects.
What To Expect During Your BOTOX Treatment
A treatment session typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. During the session, Dr. Braunstein will carefully analyze your facial skin and discuss your goals to curate a personalized treatment plan, which involves selecting the appropriate units of BOTOX in Morristown to be used and marking the targeted treatment areas. Dr. Braunstein will then use a fine needle to inject small amounts of BOTOX into the targeted muscles. The injections are painless and well-tolerated, with some patients reporting a mild pinching sensation.
How To Care For Your Face After Your BOTOX Treatment
After your BOTOX treatment in Morristown, there is no downtime required, and most people can return to normal activities immediately. However, please avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours, as this can cause the product to migrate to other areas. You may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these should resolve within a few hours. You can resume your normal activities immediately, but please avoid strenuous physical activities for a day or two.
