Dynamic wrinkles and creases in the upper third of the face (eyes and forehead) and other face and neck areas can be worrisome. If you want one of the best nonsurgical approaches to smoothing your moderate-to-severe frown lines, we suggest having a Botox treatment at Snyder Plastic Surgery.
Understanding Botox®
Unattractive frown lines (between your brows), crow’s feet, and other facial wrinkles form over time as the result of muscle activity (dynamic wrinkles). When injected with Botox, the treated muscle will no longer constrict, reducing muscle activity. You can still frown or look surprised without the deep wrinkles and creases in the treated areas.

Candidacy for Botox®
Individuals seeking Botox treatment typically include those bothered by varying wrinkles, including:
- Dynamic wrinkles
- Frown lines
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet, caused by repetitive facial expressions
Ideal candidates are also in good general health, have realistic expectations about the treatment’s outcomes, and are looking for a noninvasive solution to facial aging.
The Science Behind Botox®
Botox is derived from botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected into specific muscles, Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, thereby relaxing and softening the appearance of wrinkles. Without repeat maintenance treatments, the treated muscles gradually regain their ability to contract, and wrinkles may reappear over time.
Botox® Step-by-Step
Before
Patients considering age-reversing cosmetics will undergo a quick evaluation at Snyder Plastic Surgery to determine their needs and understand the results to come before committing to injections. Botox is safe for all skin types and tones; however, patients may be asked to avoid certain medications or drugs before injections to minimize the risks of complications.
During
Tiny doses of Botox are injected into the skin where wrinkles are noticeable. It is normally done in the doctor’s office, and the procedure can last from 15 to 30 minutes. The number of injections and dose amounts administered varies by patient depending on the severity of wrinkles. Patients are first marked with ink before the injection so that the practitioner can accurately inject the areas needing wrinkle softening. This procedure does not create discomfort other than a normal pinch with a small needle.
After
After treatment, mild swelling and bruising may appear on the injection spots. Patients are advised to limit exercise and sleep upright the same night as the treatment. The redness and swelling will only last for a few hours, but some patients may experience bruising for several days. There are bruising medications, such as Arnica, that patients can take a week prior to treatment to help minimize bruising. The results from a treatment take 5 – 7 days to appear. When they do, the face will look smoother and brighter, and patients will feel rejuvenated by their fresh appearance.
