BOTOX New York City
Introduction to BOTOX
Creating Facial Balance & Harmony
Being a one-minute walk from the Museum of Arts and Design, we can’t help but be inspired. With every aesthetic treatment, art is being blended with science, and with BOTOX, this remains true. At William Samson, MD in NYC, BOTOX and other specialty wrinkle relaxers are some of our most popular non-surgical treatments. When you smile, laugh, frown or look puzzled, you contract the muscles of your face. Over time, these contractions produce deep permanent furrows and highly noticeable wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. These lines can make you look older, sad, angry, or tired. With modern aesthetics, these lines don’t have to exist! Welcome to the popular and widely embraced world of BOTOX. This treatment not only prevents you from deepening lines during natural facial movements, but it can also erase these marks of aging, leaving you looking younger and refreshed.
Let’s start with the basics
What is BOTOX?
Chances are you have heard of BOTOX, and if you’ve found this page, you’re curious enough about how it can work for you. If you’re feeling right now like you’ve stumbled upon a key to more youthful and glowing skin — you have! One of the best parts about BOTOX is how non-invasive it is.
We strive to provide the finest results with over a decade of experience. BOTOX is made from a highly purified protein that is very safe when administered by a trained physician. The medication relaxes the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. In this way, BOTOX smoothes the lines in the skin that make you look tired or angry. BOTOX may also be helpful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms.
Main Advantages
What are the Benefits of BOTOX?
The benefits of BOTOX can be significant for each patient. It can solve signs of aging in a quick amount of time, offering a fresh perspective on one’s self. The injections are known for their ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, while it also treats a wide variety of medical conditions such as neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), an overactive bladder, and a lazy eye. Most of our patients can expect to enjoy the following benefits from BOTOX treatment:
- Smoothing out of vertical furrows between the eyebrows (often referred to as scowl lines)
- Softening of forehead lines, creating a more relaxed and youthful appearance
- Reduction in the appearance of crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes
- Lifting of drooping, tired eyebrows for a more rested and refreshed look
What to expect on the day of surgery
Together, our team of technicians, guided by Dr. Samson, will put together a targeted plan for where the injections will occur on the day of your appointment. BOTOX is commonly not just one injection but ranges to several based on the focused areas. Treatments vary depending on your needs but typically last around 10 – 15 minutes. When receiving your BOTOX injections, anesthesia is not required; sometimes, we may numb the area before injection using a topical anesthetic.
You will decide in which areas of the face you want to see changes and to what extent. This will ultimately determine the number of injections you receive during each visit. There is no limit to the number of injections you can receive during treatment. We aim to accomplish our goal with a minimal level of invasiveness.

These wrinkles develop due to muscle contractions when a person makes natural facial movements. Contact us today if you have these dynamic wrinkles and can benefit as a candidate for BOTOX.
BOTOX Recovery
With our team’s minimally invasive approach, there is no surgical wound to care for after a Botox procedure. However, we highly recommend avoiding the following activities in the first four hours after your treatment as they may spread the toxin out to other areas:
- Lying on your back
- Scratching the site
- Applying pressure or heat on the treatment area
- Exercising, going to the sauna, sun exposure and other activities that cause flushing
You may go back to your normal activities after this period. You can even wear makeup and resume your skincare regimen as soon as it is over.
