Botox in New Jersey
David Evdokimow, MD
Surgery isn't the only way to achieve a youthful new look. That's what many people have discovered through treatment with Botox in New Jersey. As a highly purified protein without toxicity, Botox is a non-invasive treatment for temporarily reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines. In experienced hands, Botox is a powerful tool that can simulate a well-performed facial surgery. Since its official FDA approval for cosmetic use in 2002, rejuvenation with Botox has became the most popular cosmetic procedure in the country.
To learn more about New Jersey Botox injections with Dr. David Evdokimow, a board-certified surgeon, you can request your consultation online or call his offices at 908-221-1136. As a leading NJ Botox provider, Dr. Evdokimow has extensive experience helping men and women from New Jersey, New York and the rest of the country achieve a beautifully refreshed facial appearance.
Dysport™
In 2009, Dysport™ received FDA approval and now is available as an alternative to Botox. On those rare occasions where the patients become resistant to Botox injections, switching to an alternative drug like Dysport is effective. Dysport spreads further from the injection site, allowing easier treatment of larger areas. The onset of action is quicker with Dysport than with Botox, but the duration of action is the same. While the benefits of Dysport are definitely attractive, many people ultimately choose Botox. With millions of treatments over many years, the Botox name provides patients with valuable peace of mind.
Before the Procedure
At the tranquil cosmetic surgery New Jersey offices of Dr. David Evdokimow, every patient is treated in a personalized, goal-oriented manner. Developing a treatment plan for each individual patient is important because facial animation is a unique quality and is determined by each person's facial muscles and structure. If your physician injects everyone in the same manner, he or she most likely performs many inaccurate injections.
During the consultation, with help of a mirror, the areas of concern are identified and an individualized treatment plan is developed. The upper face, including the forehead and the areas around the eyes, are most frequently treated and consistently deliver favorable results. However, any part of the face can be effectively treated with injectable products (fillers or Botox) if a certain outcome desired. Dr. Evdokimow may also recommend Ulthera facial rejuvenation treatment for patients who are deemed good candidates.
The Procedure
Botox treatment from New Jersey plastic surgeon Dr. Evdokimow is quick and comfortable. The targeted muscle is injected with a very small needle. Anesthesia is not required. There are several other proven-effective applications for Botox:
- Bands of the neck (platysmal bands)
- Masseteric hypertrophy – enlargement of the muscle causing a prominent jaw line and facial asymmetry.
- Hyperhidrosis – Excessive underarm, hand and foot sweating.
- Migraine headaches, especially those with onset in the lower forehead, above the eyes, and high in the back of the neck.
Botox treatment is frequently combined with other non-surgical treatments, such as Sculptra or another injectable filler, facial surgery, and laser treatments.
After Treatment
After your Botox injections in New Jersey, you will be able to return to work or your normal routine immediately. By the time the patient leaves the office, there is usually no sign that injections were performed. You will begin to see results in 3 to 5 days with Botox, with the full effect at 7 to 10 days. The effects of Botox Cosmetic and Dysport last approximately 4 to 6 months. In a few patients, we have observed longer-lasting results, up to 9 months after Botox injections. If consistent results are desired, the next treatment should occur before the effects of the Botox have completely worn off.
Choose a Qualified Physician
The most common concern expressed by our patients is: "Will I still be able to smile and frown as usual?" This is an important question and the answer is simple: Yes, if you choose a skilled and experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, you can ensure that your results will look natural. You will not appear "frozen." You can smile, laugh, frown, and show surprise just like you did before – minus the wrinkles, of course.
The accessibility of Botox and the fact that it is a non-surgical injectable has attracted the attention of many unqualified physicians. The absence of state regulations in regards to training and qualifications further aggravates the problem. Statistics show that many plastic surgery procedures are performed by "medical spa" or "medical aesthetic" practices, or by an "aesthetic surgeon." These are not board-certified plastic surgeons, so it is very important to check the credentials of your surgeon prior to any treatment or procedure.
