Botox®
Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles with Botox®
Botox® injections are a minimally invasive, low-risk cosmetic injectable that soften wrinkles and fine lines and slows the formation of new ones. Your expert injector may recommend Botox, if you have 11- lines, worry lines, crow’s feet, neck banding or other facial wrinkles. At Maloney Plastic Surgery, we work closely with each patient to assess their needs and goals and determine if they are a good candidate for injections, fillers, or other cosmetic surgery procedures. Call us today to schedule a consultation with Maloney’s skin care team.

What is Botox® and when is it recommended?
What is Botox®?
Botox® is a safe, FDA-approved cosmetic injectable made from botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that temporarily freezes muscles. Each injection targets a specific group of muscles responsible for movement in the face or neck. Because it blocks nerve signals to the muscle, the muscle can’t contract and your face and neck will relax, smoothing out existing wrinkles, preventing the formation of new wrinkles, and giving the face an overall more youthful appearance.

Enjoy the benefits of Botox®
Most people notice the results of Botox® after around 8-10 days. You will see lines soften and deeper wrinkles diminish. You may need to undergo more than one session of injections to reach your goals. Your results generally last around 3-4 months, but most people choose to get injections every three months to sustain results over time. If you experience any tenderness, bruising, swelling, or inflammation, you can apply a cold compress and take an over the counter anti-inflammatory painkiller.
Do Botox® Injections Carry Risks?
Botox® injections are a low-risk procedure; however, any cosmetic or medical procedure can carry risk. You may experience pain, swelling, redness, or bruising at the site of the injection. If you get Botox® under your eyes, you might experience eye irritation or redness.

Understand What to Expect from Botox®
Receiving Botox® injections is a safe, low-risk medical procedure when they are administered by a licensed healthcare professional. To determine if you are a good candidate for injections, you will first meet with Dr. Maloney’s team of expert injectors for a consultation. They will go over the uses and possible alternatives, and what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. You can ask any questions you have. Our team may ask you about your medical history, medications you’re currently taking, your lifestyle, and what your hopes and goals are for undergoing Botox®. If you are a good candidate, you can have injections that same day.
Botox® injections are administered as an outpatient procedure with no downtime or recovery time. Because the needle used is so thin, you will not need any anesthesia or numbing before we begin. We will map out the areas being treated and confirm your treatment with you before we begin. The number of injections you need will depend on the size of the treatment area and the depth of your wrinkles. Each injection only takes a few seconds to administer. You should not rub or massage the treatment area for at least 24 hours and avoid lying down for 2-4 hours after treatment.
