Botox in Buffalo, NY

 Relax fine lines and wrinkles with Botox®.  From preventative Baby Botox to Botox brow lifts, we've got you covered!  Say hello to a smooth and refreshed you!

In Buffalo, Botox® is a popular procedure using Botulinum Toxin which was developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. Dr. Samuel Shatkin Jr. and his staff have been injecting neurotoxins since 1998.  Some younger patients elect to begin treatment with neurotoxins early in adulthood to prevent the onset of wrinkles and lines created from animation. These treatments are safe and effective and have been used for more than 20 years.  Areas to treat include frown lines, crows feet, forehead lines, wrinkles and lines from smiling and grimacing around the mouth and muscle bands on the neck.  Dr. Shatkin and his team are members of the Aesthetic Learning Academy where they teach other health professionals on the use of these injectables to obtain the ideal results for patients.   Botox® has proven to be the best non-surgical form of facial rejuvenation and is capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.  Dr. Shatkin uses Botox in other areas of the face when needed to improve wrinkles and lines.  

Reasons for Considering a Botox Treatment:

General Procedure

The procedure works by altering the facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to wrinkles.  A cream with local anesthetic will be placed on your skin prior to treatment, and ice will be immediately applied upon completion of the Botox® treatment.  Typically a small amount of Botox® is injected into the area of the wrinkle.  Botox® works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them.  The result is the underlying facial muscles relax and the skin begins to smooth out.  The effects of a Botox® treatment will last approximately three to six months after which the patient may choose to repeat the procedure.

Recovery Process

Patients generally return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.  Patients should avoid engaging in heavy physical exercise, applying cosmetics, or laying down flat for a minimum of 24 hours after the injections.  It is also advisable to avoid rubbing or massaging the injected area for at least 24 hours.
