Botox Before & Afters
A Fresh, Youthful Appearance
What is Botox Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic is a non-invasive treatment made from botulinum toxin.
The injectable is designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles and fine lines associated with repetitive facial movements. As Botox temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, the associated facial lines will slowly smooth and flatten.
Helping Both Men and Women Age Gracefully
What are the benefits of Botox Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment designed to improve the fine lines and dynamic wrinkles that result from repetitive expressions. Made from Botulinum Toxin Type A, Botox temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. As these muscles relax, the associated lines on the face will become smooth and flat. Fine wrinkles and deep creases related to muscle movement can be erased for up to three months. While Botox Cosmetic is designed to address dynamic wrinkles, static lines (that result from a loss of tissue elasticity) can be targeted by adding a dermal filler, such as Juvederm or Restylane.
Botox Cosmetic can improve:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between eyebrows (Glabella)
- Crow’s feet on the outer corners of the eyes
- Bunny lines along the sides of the nose
- Lip lines
- Masseter lines
- Chin
- Neck bands (Platysma)
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating under arms, hands, and feet)
What People Say About Us!
“If you’re even considering getting Botox and fillers, just do yourself a favor and get it done. You will not regret using Dr. Gopathi. While their prices are a touch higher than competitors, the quality of the work is significantly higher than anything else I’ve seen. She’s also gorgeous to boot, too, which is incredibly reassuring. I went in a few weeks ago for some natural-looking lip filler and “baby” Botox for the first time, and Dr. Gopathi was pretty upfront about not being able to work miracles on what wrinkles I have already. However, she’s pretty well erased any signs of aging on my face after one round of Botox. She knocked it out of the park. She nailed the “me but better” look! I highly highly recommend using her!!”

Botox Cosmetic Consultation And Examination

Wrinkle-Free Confidence
Your Botox Cosmetic Procedure
Each Botox Cosmetic session takes from 15 to 30 minutes, making it the perfect “lunchtime” procedure. The injectable is applied in a private, comfortable treatment room at the luxurious Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics office. Using a very fine needle, Botox is meticulously injected directly into the predetermined facial muscles. The injections are not considered painful; therefore, Botox Cosmetic does not require any anesthetic. However, a topical or local anesthetic can be applied for added comfort.
Getting Back To Normal After Botox Cosmetic
Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
There is no downtime necessary after a treatment with Botox Cosmetic. Patients are feeling well enough to go back to work or school immediately. Mild redness, swelling, and tenderness may be seen along the treatment area. However, these are normally short-lived. Bruising is also common. The benefits of Botox Cosmetic are not seen right away. Over the next 3 to 4 days, targeted wrinkles will begin to ease and smooth.
Optimal results from Botox can be seen in 10 to 14 days and will last for three to four months. This will vary according to the individual patient and the specific treatment area. Botox Cosmetic is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe method for improving dynamic wrinkles. Side effects are not common but can include pinpoint bleeding, severe headaches, and facial asymmetry. More serious complications, such as infection or nerve damage, are rare. To ensure the safest and most effective Botox Cosmetic results, patients are encouraged to only trust a board-certified, experienced provider, such as Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics.
