Botox® NYC
BOTOX® NYC provides men and women with the ability to return to a more youthful version of themselves. With painless injections and just a few minutes of time, the effects of time and stress can be smoothed away. Neither medication to numb the treatment area, nor time for recovery is necessary. However, for patients who are new to Botox® and apprehensive about how the injections will feel, there is the option to apply a topical anesthetic or a cold pack to reduce sensations in skin.
Botox® Treatment in NYC
Are you worried about the worry lines on your forehead? Wrinkled foreheads can make people look old, tired, worried, angry, quizzical, sad, or stern. A quick visit to the premier Manhattan aesthetic center of Dr. Ron Shelton to receive Botox® injections may be all you need to refresh the skin on your face.
Botox® NYC treatment consists of several virtually painless injections in the shallow muscle tissue between or above the brows or around the eyes. Often, a numbing cream is applied, and after several minutes it is wiped off. The Botox® treatment session itself lasts only a few minutes, allowing you to resume your day feeling refreshed and ready for a rejuvenated appearance in just a matter of days.
Some of the lines and wrinkles that occur on the face—particularly those that form around the eyes, the glabellar lines, and on the forehead—are the result of persistent contractions in the muscles of the upper face. We use these muscles so frequently when we frown, laugh, cry, or squint to read small print that they eventually remain tightened even when we are at rest. By relaxing the contractions in these muscles, Botox® beautifully reduces the signs of aging that make us appear tired, angry, or old.
Benefits of Botox®
A major benefit of Botox® Cosmetic for reducing frown lines is a secondary lift of the forehead, which helps pull up the eyebrows and upper eyelids that often lower with age, creating “hooding.” This is referred to as a Botox® Brow Lift.
There are also some off-label uses of Botox®, including:
- Reducing the thickness of chewing muscles (masseters) to make the lower face slimmer and more feminine, especially in those who grind or clench their teeth.
- Creating tighter jawlines.
- Lifting sagging corners of the mouth.
- Tightening loose, sagging neck bands.
- Reducing the “gummy smile” (when the gum above the upper central incisors shows when someone smiles widely).
- Reducing nasal tip droop in those with an open-mouth nasal tip pulling reflex.
Botox® results can be viewed in Dr. Ron Shelton’s patient Botox® before-and-after gallery.

Botox® cost and results will vary per patient.
