Botox Cosmetic – Precision Treatment for Wrinkle Reduction

Botox Cosmetic is one of the most researched and trusted non-surgical treatments for reducing dynamic facial wrinkles, including crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. At Legacy Dermatology, our board-certified dermatology experts use precise injection techniques to relax overactive facial muscles, softening expression lines while preserving natural movement.
Treatment sessions are quick, virtually painless, and require no downtime, making Botox one of the most effective options for those seeking youthful, refreshed skin without surgery. Results typically last three to four months, with continued treatments often producing longer-lasting benefits. Our personalized approach ensures safety, comfort, and results tailored to your unique skin biology and cosmetic goals.

What to Expect During Treatment

Botox injections are administered using ultra-fine needles, minimizing discomfort. Anesthesia is not required, and most patients describe the feeling as a brief pinprick. The procedure typically takes 10–20 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas. Results start becoming visible within 3–5 days, with full effect seen in 1–2 weeks. Effects generally last 3–4 months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended.

Subtle Refinement – Reduces wrinkles while preserving facial expressions.

Post-Treatment Care & Longevity

After Botox injections, it’s essential to avoid rubbing the treated areas, lying down flat, or engaging in vigorous exercise for 4–6 hours. Patients should also avoid excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs) and alcohol on the day of treatment. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur but usually resolves quickly. With regular treatments, many patients notice that results last longer, as targeted muscles adapt to reduced activity.
