Botox® in Mount Kisco, NY
For years, Botox® has helped men and women smooth wrinkles and facial creases for a more youthful, refreshed appearance. At Briones Weight Loss Center, Dr. Maria Briones provides quick, precise Botox treatments that soften forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines with no downtime.
How Botox® Works
Botox® blocks the nerve signals that tell certain facial muscles to contract. When the treated muscle relaxes, the overlying wrinkles soften and smooth out. Wrinkles develop naturally with age, but sun damage, gravity, and repeated facial expressions like squinting and frowning speed up the process. Botox is one of the most trusted cosmetic treatments in the world because it delivers visible results with no surgery and no downtime.
Common Treatment Areas
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Frown lines between the brows (the “11s”)
What to Expect During Treatment
Receiving Botox takes only a few minutes, and anesthesia is not required. Dr. Maria Briones uses a very fine needle to inject small amounts into specific muscles, and most patients feel only mild, brief discomfort. You can return to work or your normal routine right away.
Results and Maintenance
You will begin to see softening within a few days, with full results in about two weeks. Results typically last three to six months. Regular maintenance treatments keep lines smooth and can help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time.
Aftercare Tips
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for the rest of the day
- Stay upright for a few hours after treatment
- Skip strenuous exercise until the next day
- Mild redness or small bumps at injection sites usually fade within an hour
Complete Facial Rejuvenation
Botox relaxes expression lines, but it does not tighten skin or rebuild collagen. For a fuller refresh, Dr. Briones may pair Botox with Ultherapy® for lifting, Morpheus8 for texture and firmness, a PRP facial for radiance, or Venus Versa™ for skin resurfacing. Patients going through menopause may also benefit from hormone therapy, which supports skin health from within.
