what is botox® Treatment?
New York City dentist Dr. Jason Kasarsky offers BOTOX® treatments to patients seeking cosmetic rejuvenation. After a cosmetic dental procedure, or if you are simply ready to turn back the hands of time, BOTOX® can help smoothen facial wrinkles along the forehead and around the eyes. For patients receiving a smile makeover, this added procedure would complement the outcome beautifully. BOTOX® is a product that is produced from Botulinum Toxin Type A (or BTX-A). This ingredient, once injected, assists in blocking the facial nerve endings, which paralyzes the muscles under the skin temporarily. This allows the muscles to relax so that the skin on the surface does not have a chance to wrinkle. Within about 5 – 7 days, the forehead, which is the most common injection area, will look smoother, softer, and a significant decrease in lines and wrinkles will be noticeable. On average, the results from a BOTOX® injection last up to about four months.

Reviews
what can i expect with a botox® treatment?
BOTOX® injections are performed right inside our New York City dental practice. Administering BOTOX® is quite simple. Dr. Kasarsky will mark the areas of injection with erasable ink and then apply a numbing ointment to help with any discomfort. He will inject the areas with the medication and then apply a light cold compression to help with bleeding or swelling, which is minimal in most cases. The entire procedure generally lasts about 30 minutes. There is no downtime after a BOTOX® treatment.
Dr. Kasarsky has completed BOTOX® and dermal filler training. That provides the patient with the ability to reduce the signs of aging and alleviate dental ailments. He can provide aesthetic, dental therapeutic, and restorative treatment that can rejuvenate facial aesthetics and relieve pain.
How long is recovery after a botox® treatment?
Immediately following treatment, patients will have some mild swelling and redness at the injection sites, but this goes away within 2 – 3 hours. Cold packs will be provided, which will help with the swelling. Some bruising may appear near the injection sites, but this is also short-lived, and not all patients bruise following treatment. It is advised to avoid exercise for at least 24 hours and to sleep upright the first night after your BOTOX® treatment. It typically takes about 5 – 7 days for the results to appear. Once they become visible, the upper face will look softer, smoother, and a significant decrease in wrinkles will be evident. Our patients love their BOTOX® results and come back every quarter for additional injections.
BOTOX FAQ
How many BOTOX units/injections will I need?
The number of BOTOX treatments provided will differ based on individual concerns and the extent of your lines and wrinkles. Dr. Kasarsky or a member of his team will suggest the ideal number of BOTOX injections according to your treatment desires and whether you want to treat the Crow's feet, forehead, or between the eyes. To maintain your aesthetic results, our experts could suggest scheduling BOTOX services every 3 – 4 months at Jason Kasarsky D.D.S.
Can I have BOTOX additional cosmetic services?
BOTOX generally pairs well with additional aesthetic options at Jason Kasarsky D.D.S for those who would like to address signs of aging. If you notice deeper and more severe facial lines, our practitioners could talk with you about adding a filler for optimal results. To further enhance a younger-looking radiant glow, we may perform other complementary services, such as facials or microneedling with PRP.
Are there comparable cosmetic injections?
BOTOX Cosmetic is a specific formulation of wrinkle reducer that thrives among a market of other effective solutions, such as Jeuveau™, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®. These wrinkle relaxer treatments use botulinum toxin type A, but each one is formulated a little differently to treat specific problems.
What's the difference between wrinkle relaxers and fillers?
Though wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX Cosmetic, are used to minimize fine lines by temporarily freezing your muscle contractions, dermal fillers are a distinct collection of aesthetic injections that increase facial volume. Fillers are designed to volumize hollow areas and fill in static wrinkles. We can ascertain if you may benefit from a filler (such as Restylane® or JUVÉDERM®) to further enhance your BOTOX outcomes.
am i a candidate for BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is FDA approved and safe to use for wrinkle treatment and for therapeutic uses. When administered properly, BOTOX® can create outstanding results. It is important to find an experienced injector to avoid any complications. Too much or too little of the medication can cause an undesirable outcome. BOTOX® is also used for medical purposes, including to help with excessive squinting, blinking, sweating, and migraines. BOTOX® should not be confused with an injectable filler. Derma fillers are products that 'fill in' wrinkles and lines with substances, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, or fat, whereas BOTOX® relaxes the muscles to create a similar effect.
