Centrally located to cater to New York City residents on the Upper East Side.
If you are seeking a non-surgical solution to reverse the signs of aging, such as deep skin furrows, creases, and wrinkles, Skinly Aesthetics offers top-tier Botox treatments. Since its FDA approval in 2002, Botox Cosmetic has become the leading minimally invasive aesthetic treatment in the U.S., giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance. This has made it one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide.
Botox works by weakening overactive muscles, which smooths moderate to severe wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions and simultaneously slims down bulky muscles. Beyond cosmetic applications, Botox also addresses medical concerns such as chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis, and TMJ. Its quick application and near-immediate results, with no downtime, have made Botox Cosmetic a favorite in cosmetic dermatology, with millions of treatments performed annually.
Botox prevents early signs of aging and wrinkles, including frown lines, forehead lines, Crow’s feet, and bunny lines. At Skinly Aesthetics in NYC, Dr. Schwarzburg uses Botox Cosmetic to create a rejuvenated and naturally youthful appearance. He also employs other premium injectables, such as Sculptra, Juvederm, and Restylane, to enhance Botox’s effects and achieve comprehensive aesthetic improvements.

Frequently asked questions
How Does Botox Work?
Botox Cosmetic, FDA-approved in 2002, is derived from botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. By reducing the intensity of facial expressions like frowning and squinting, Botox allows the overlying skin to smooth out and repair itself by replenishing lost collagen. This process not only softens existing wrinkles but also helps prevent new lines from forming.
Additionally, decreased muscle tension can alleviate jaw pain, and stiff necks, while simultaneously slimming bulky muscles like the masseters and trapezius. This multifaceted approach makes Botox a powerful tool for both cosmetic and therapeutic applications, providing a smoother, more youthful appearance and relief from muscle-related discomforts.
What Are Botox’s Common Cosmetic Treatment Areas?
Botox Cosmetic injections are versatile and can treat a variety of facial and body areas. Here are the most common treatment areas for cosmetic purposes:
- Calf muscle slimming
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Frown lines (11s)
- Crow’s feet
- Perioral lines (smoker’s lines)
- Bunny lines
- Chin dimples
- Neck bands
- Gummy smile
- Lip flip
- Eyebrow lift
- Masseter jaw slimming
- Trapezius shoulder slimming (TrapTox/BarbieTox)
What Are Botox Applications For Medical Conditions?
Here are some medical conditions that Botox can effectively treat:
- Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ) – overactivity of masseter muscles, leading to jaw pain & tension, teeth grinding, and headaches.
- Migraine Headaches – Botox, applied to the head and neck muscles, helps reduce the intensity and occurrence of migraine headaches.
- Hyperhidrosis – Botox injections inhibit sweat production in hands, feet, and underarms.
- Depression – Botox contributes to mood improvement by minimizing expressions that are commonly associated with negative emotions.
Am I a Good Candidate for Botox?
You are an ideal candidate for Botox Cosmetic treatments if you are over 18 and seeking a non-surgical solution to smooth visible lines and wrinkles or enhance facial aesthetics through muscle slimming. Botox is perfect if you are in good health with mild to moderate facial wrinkles that skincare products can’t fix, or want to soften expressive lines that make you look angry or upset. Additionally, if you are interested in reducing the bulk of muscles like the masseters for a slimmer facial profile, Botox can effectively address these concerns.
Are There Any Contraindications?
Here’s the list of common contraindications according to Dr. Schwarzburg:
- Muscle weakness in the treatment area, related to conditions like Bell’s palsy.
- Neuromuscular disorders, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Myasthenia Gravis, and Lambert-Eaton Syndrome.
- Pregnancy.
- Allergy to Botox ingredients.
- Active skin infection at the injection site.
- History of keloid scarring.
How Do I Prepare For Botox Treatment?
Dr. Schwarzburg recommends the following simple steps to ensure optimal results and a smooth experience.
First, avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, Ginkgo Biloba, and Vitamin E for 3-5 days before your session to minimize bleeding and bruising.
Second, stay away from alcohol consumption 2 days before your appointment.
Last, take two Tylenol pills about 30 minutes before your injections to alleviate any discomfort during the injections.
What Should I Expect During the Procedure?
Botox treatment at Skinly Aesthetics lasts 20-30 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas and units. The procedure starts with a consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg to discuss your aesthetic goals and take medical photographs. After cleansing your skin, Dr. Schwarzburg will mark the injection sites for even distribution. Using an ultra-fine needle, he administers Botox Cosmetic into the targeted muscles. Post-injection, you’ll receive an ice pack to minimize swelling and detailed aftercare instructions for optimal results.
Is There Downtime After Botox Injections?
Botox Cosmetic is often dubbed the ‘lunchtime procedure’ as there’s virtually no downtime. Immediately post-procedure, you can jump back into your regular activities with a few simple precautions. A slight swelling or redness is typical but dissipates within an hour. Any minor bruising can be quickly camouflaged with makeup.
What Is The Aftercare?
Botox aftercare is minimal and you can swiftly resume your daily routine.
Key recommendations include:
- Avoid pressure on the treated area.
- Pause strenuous activities for the first 24 hours to prevent neurotoxin migration.
- Steer clear of excessive heat, such as saunas and direct sunlight, to avoid Botox diffusion.
- Remain upright for the first few hours post-treatment to prevent non-targeted spread.
- Apply ice packs immediately after your session to alleviate swelling.
- Use arnica cream to help heal slight bruising.
What Should I Expect Right After The Treatment?
Immediately after your Botox treatment, you may notice small, red, and itchy patches at the injection sites due to skin irritation, which typically resolve within 30 minutes. Small raised “Botox bumps” are common and indicate water retention in the muscle, usually absorbed by the body within an hour. You may also experience a sensation of tight skin for a few hours, as a result of the skin stretching from the injected fluid.
What Are The Side Effects Associated With Botox Injections?
Dr. Schwarzburg highlights several minor side effects that patients might experience post-treatment:
- Slight bruising is a temporary cosmetic concern that can be concealed with makeup.
- In rare instances, unintended diffusion of Botox can cause droopy eyelids or a facial asymmetry, often due to incorrect injection techniques or applying pressure to the treated areas too soon after the procedure.
- Mild headaches, which generally subside within a couple of days.
- Allergic reactions to the components of Botox can occur, making it advisable for those with allergy concerns to discuss pre-treatment testing with their provider.
When Will I See the Results?
Post-Botox, patience is essential. Initial results typically manifest between 1 to 5 days post-treatment, with the full effects becoming evident around 10-14 days after based on the number of units injected.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The duration of your wrinkle-smoothing or muscle-slimming effects typically ranges from 3 to 4 months, with subsequent maintenance treatments recommended every 4-6 months.
Getting more units per area extends the effects, whereas smaller doses result in a shorter duration of visible improvements.
If you are very expressive, lead an active lifestyle or have a high metabolic rate you will notice the results diminish sooner.
Can I Reverse Botox Effects?
While Botox effects are temporary and typically last between three to four months, there is no direct method to reverse them immediately. If you are unhappy with your results, the effects will gradually diminish over time as muscle activity returns to normal. To avoid unsatisfactory results, it is crucial to have your Botox injections performed by a board-certified doctor.
Is Botox Safe?
The safety and efficacy of Botox are well-established, with Botox Cosmetic by Allergan being approved for wrinkle treatment since 2002 and extensively documented as safe and effective in numerous clinical studies and FDA approvals.
However, the key to ensuring the safety of Botox injections lies in the expertise of the injector. Dr. Schwarzburg, who practices at Skinly Aesthetics in NYC, is a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist recognized for his high level of skill, knowledge, and commitment to safety.
Do Botox Injections Hurt?
Most describe Botox injections as brief pinpricks. Dr. Schwarzburg uses ultra-fine nanoneedles making injections nearly imperceptible. For very sensitive patients Dr. Schwarzburg uses a strong lidocaine numbing cream, coupled with an ice pack and nitrous oxide gas.
What Is The Cost Of Botox In NYC?
In New York, Botox prices generally range $250 to $900 per area or $10 to $30 per unit. The total cost of Botox depends on the number of units used, the number of treatment areas, whether your injector is a board-certified doctor or a nurse, and if Botox is part of a combined therapy with other services. At Skinly Aesthetics, Botox Cosmetic pricing for new clients is clear and straightforward. The following promotional rates apply exclusively to frown lines (11s), horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet: $499 for all three areas, $400 for two areas, and $250 for one area. For other areas, including the masseters, chin, and neck, the cost is $15 per unit of Botox, with additional discounts available for combination treatments.
Is Botox Covered By Insurance?
While insurance might cover Botox in certain situations, it’s typically restricted to FDA-approved medical uses, such as TMJ, hyperhidrosis, migraines, and specific neuromuscular disorders.
Cosmetic Botox applications are generally not insured. However, at Skinly Aesthetics, we accept FSA and HSA flexible spending cards and offer payment plan options with Cherry and Care Credit.
Will I Look Natural Look After Botox Injections?
Certainly! Dr. Schwarzburg applies Botox with artistry to retain genuine facial expressions, without wrinkles. What looks natural on one person might look overly done on another and his experience is paramount to maintaining natural-looking results.
What If I Still Have Wrinkles After Treatment?
You may need more units of Botox, dermal filler injection, collagen boosting treatment, or a different brand of neurotoxin.
What’s The Difference Between Dynamic and Static Wrinkles?
According to Dr. Schwarzburg, repeated muscle contractions and facial expressions initially cause dynamic wrinkles, visible only with movement. Over time, collagen loss in these areas leads to static wrinkles, visible even when the face is at rest.
Is Botox Worth It?
Absolutely! Botox Cosmetic by Allergan has been FDA-approved for over two decades and offers an excellent option for non-surgical wrinkle reduction if you look to uphold youthful and radiant skin. With its quick, almost pain-free administration, the results are consistently satisfying and enduring.
Is Botox The Same As Dysport And Xeomin?
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify, Myobloc, and Jeuveau are all types of neurotoxins that smooth wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles. Each brand has its unique formulation though they all work on the same basic principle of blocking nerve signals to muscles.
Botox Cosmetic, developed by Allergan, was the first of these products to be approved by the FDA in 2002 and has since become synonymous with the procedure itself. It’s often preferred for its long track record of safety and effectiveness.
Are Neurotoxins And Dermal Fillers the Same?
Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles, primarily in the forehead and around the eyes. Dermal fillers like Juvederm are hyaluronic acid gels that add volume and plumpness to the skin.
What Other Treatments Pair Well With Botox?
Botox effectively targets facial muscles, mitigating the wrinkles stemming from excessive facial movements. To further optimize Botox results, Dr. Schwarzburg recommends the following complementary treatments:
- When wrinkles are etched into the skin due to reduced collagen, they’re termed static. Botox might not always erase them, but dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm can fill them in from the inside.
- Pairing Botox with treatments that boost collagen can enhance skin quality in the long run. Dr. Schwarzburg frequently integrates the Fraxel Dual laser, carbon peel laser facial, and multiple microneedling techniques such as Morpheus 8 radiofrequency microneedling, and Skin Boosters to further refine and firm the skin, promoting a consistently rejuvenated look.
