Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic injectables for restoring a youthful facial appearance. It is most frequently used to relax deep facial wrinkles that can cause us to look aged, tired, or even angry.
Dr. Anthony S. Alessi is considered a top provider of Botox in White Plains, NY. He is meticulous at every step of the Botox treatment process to ensure natural-looking facial enhancement.

What is Botox?

Botox is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment for dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles and folds caused by muscle contractions. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume to fill out wrinkles, Botox targets overactive muscles to release facial creases and furrows.

Some of the most common areas treated with Botox include:

  • Glabellar lines – Also called “11 lines,” these are the two vertical lines that form between the brows when we frown.
  • Forehead wrinkles – Forehead wrinkles, or “surprise lines,” are horizontal creases that can develop above the brow.
  • Crow’s feet – Over time, smiling and laughing can cause fine lines at the corners of the eyes.
  • Bunny lines – The muscles used when we smell or sniff can create dynamic wrinkles in the upper nose area.
  • Chin dimpling – Overactive chin muscles can cause a puckered look in this area.
  • Neck lines – The natural aging process, as well as repeatedly craning the neck to look at our phone and computer screens can result in horizontal and/or vertical necklines.
  • Migraines – Botox is a good solution for those who suffer from chronic migraines.
  • Masseter – Injected into the Masseter muscle botox assists with a variety of common pains such as teeth grinding, reducing jaw tension and relieving headaches.

Is Botox Right for Me?

A consultation with Dr. Alessi is the best way to find out if Botox is right for you. In the consultation, he will assess your facial tissue and facial structure and learn about your cosmetic concerns. This allows him to determine the ideal treatment approach for your needs.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox injections contain a prescription medication that affects nerve signals. The active ingredient in Botox is a neuromodulator called botulinum toxin.

There is no recovery period associated with Botox. For optimal results, you will want to avoid vigorous exercise and strenuous activities for 24 hours after your injections. Most patients can safely resume their normal routine right away.

Botox Results

Patients can begin to see improvements in as few as two or three days. It may take a week or two to see the final results of your treatment.

On average, Botox lasts three to four months. Without retreatment, the muscles will become active again, which means the lines and wrinkles will return. Dr. Alessi will advise you when to schedule your Botox appointments to best maintain your desired look.

How Much Does Botox Cost?

The number of treatment areas, size of the treatment area(s), and the severity of your dynamic wrinkles will affect the price of your Botox procedure. Dr. Alessi will create a treatment plan for you after your initial consultation. The specific details of your Botox treatment and the associated costs will then be reviewed with you.
