Experience Botox for Yourself

What is Botox?

Botox is an easy injectable treatment that helps you look refreshed.

It is formulated with botulinum type A, a purified protein that relaxes the muscles that causes dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. By skillfully injecting Botox into specific areas, Dr. GolBerg softens the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated look. With Botox, patients can achieve natural-looking results that enhance their beauty without surgery or extended downtime.

What other conditions can Botox treat?

Botox has been FDA-approved for several medical conditions but is commonly used off-label to treat others, providing life-changing results for patients.

  • Chronic Migraines: Botox can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines by blocking nerve signals responsible for pain.
  • TMJ and Jaw Tension: For those experiencing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder or jaw clenching, Botox offers relief by relaxing overactive muscles.
  • Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Botox can be injected into sweat glands to significantly reduce underarm, hand, or foot perspiration, offering a solution for those with severe sweating issues.
  • Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Botox can alleviate night-time teeth grinding by reducing the activity of the masseter muscle.
  • Neck Pain and Cervical Dystonia: Botox is used to relax muscles in patients suffering from cervical dystonia, reducing pain and improving range of motion.

Dr. GolBerg is an expert in utilizing Botox’s full range of applications. With decades of experience and specialized knowledge, Dr. GolBerg takes a personalized approach to every treatment, ensuring that it is precisely tailored to address your unique health concerns.

Masterful Techniques for a Radiant Result

He evaluates your skin concerns, discusses your goals, and develops a personalized treatment plan. During the procedure, he cleanses the targeted areas and administers Botox using a very fine needle. The injections take only a few minutes, and patients usually feel minimal discomfort. You can resume your daily activities right away while taking a few simple precautions to ensure an optimal result.

  • Frown Lines: Softens vertical lines between the eyebrows.
  • Crow’s Feet: Reduces lines at the outer corners of the eyes.
  • Bunny Lines: Smooths lines on the sides of the nose.
  • Neck Bands: Diminishes the appearance of vertical neck bands.  

Rewind Time

What areas can Botox address?

Botox primarily targets facial areas like:

  • Forehead: For horizontal lines.
  • Glabella (between the eyebrows): For frown lines.
  • Outer Eye Area: For crow's feet.
  • Around the Mouth: To soften smoker's lines or correct a gummy smile.
  • Chin: To reduce dimpling or "orange peel" texture.
  • Neck: To minimize neck bands or lines.

Trusted Care for NYC

Am I a candidate for Botox?

Most adults seeking a non-invasive way to reduce facial wrinkles and dynamic lines caused by repetitive expressions are good candidates for Botox.

Ideal candidates are those who are in good health, have realistic expectations, and want to address signs of aging without surgery. However, Botox may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions. During your consultation, Dr. GolBerg will discuss your medical history to determine if Botox is right for you.  

No Downtime Needed

Botox Recovery

Most Botox patients return to their daily routine immediately after treatment. It is normal to have slight redness or swelling where the injections were administered, but these effects typically subside within a few hours. To ensure optimal results, avoid strenuous exercise, direct sunlight, and rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 hours. Following Dr. GolBerg's aftercare instructions helps maximize your results and minimize any potential side effects.   

Show Your Glow

Botox Results

You can start to see the effects of Botox within 3-5 days after the procedure, with full results typically visible within two weeks. The youthful, smooth appearance from Botox usually lasts about 3-4 months. Regular follow-up treatments can help you sustain your desired look over time.
