Botox Treatment

Get a Subtle Change and Noticeable Confidence

Have you started noticing deepening lines between your brows or around your eyes? These small changes can quietly affect how you show up at work, in photos, or even in the mirror each morning.

You don’t want to look different — you just want to look like your best self on your best day. That’s precisely what Botox treatment at Connolly Dermatology is designed to achieve.

Our board-certified dermatologists approach Botox injections with the same clinical expertise and attention to detail we bring to medical care. Every treatment is tailored to your features and goals to get natural results you can feel good about. 

If you’re considering Botox services, we’re here to help you make the right decision with proper care.

What Is Botox Treatment?

Understand the Science Behind a Softer Look

Botox treatment is a non-surgical procedure that uses a purified form of botulinum toxin to relax specific facial muscles temporarily. It softens lines caused by expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling by reducing repetitive muscle movement.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Botox for cosmetic use in 2002. It has been used safely for decades and is one of the most extensively studied aesthetic treatments available. When administered by qualified professionals, it has a strong track record for both effectiveness and safety.

At Connolly Dermatology, all Botox treatments are performed by board-certified dermatologists in a clinical setting. We use only medical-grade products and evidence-based techniques to help you look more at ease, never frozen or overcorrected.

Beyond aesthetic benefits, Botox can also be used for specific medical concerns, including excessive sweating and migraine prevention. Each session is personalized to your goals, whether smoothing frown lines or subtly lifting the brow for a more open look.

What Botox Injections Can Address

Botox injections are used to treat a range of cosmetic and therapeutic concerns.

Common areas include:

• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines on the nose
• Marionette lines at the corners of the mouth
• Chin dimpling
• Neck bands or “turkey neck” appearance

Botox can also be used to refine jawline definition, minimize a gummy smile, or smooth uneven skin texture. In therapeutic cases, it can relieve muscle-related discomfort, such as jaw clenching or facial spasms.

At Connolly Dermatology, your treatment is guided by aesthetic goals and functional needs, always tailored to your facial anatomy and how you want to look and feel.

What to Expect During Treatment

Step-by-Step Care You Can Feel Confident About

Botox is a quick, in-office procedure, but knowing what to expect before, during, and after treatment helps you get the best results. Here’s how we guide you through each step at Connolly Dermatology.

Before Your Appointment: How to Prepare

Preparation plays a role in minimizing bruising and ensuring a smooth experience. For a few days before your appointment, we may recommend pausing medications or supplements that thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, or fish oil, always with approval from your prescribing provider. Alcohol should also be avoided for 24 hours prior, as it increases the likelihood of redness or swelling.

Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and be ready to discuss any recent procedures or changes to your medical history. This helps your dermatologist make the safest, most effective plan for your Botox treatment.

During the Appointment: What Happens

Each visit begins with a consultation to assess your facial anatomy and treatment goals. Your provider will identify the muscles responsible for your wrinkles or areas of concern and determine the appropriate number of Botox injections needed.

The injections themselves are quick, usually 10 to 20 minutes. A fine needle delivers small amounts of Botox into the skin or muscle. Numbing cream or ice may be applied beforehand if needed, but most patients describe the feeling as a slight pinch. You’ll also be able to resume most normal activities immediately after your visit.

After Your Appointment: Results and Care

During the first 24 hours, avoiding rubbing the area, lying flat for extended periods, or engaging in strenuous exercise is important. These small precautions help keep the product exactly where it’s intended. Any mild swelling or redness at the injection sites usually fades quickly and doesn’t interfere with daily life.

You’ll begin to see improvement within 3 to 7 days, and results will last around 3 to 4 months. With consistent treatment, some patients find they need fewer visits as muscle activity softens over time.

From your first consultation to follow-up care, Connolly Dermatology handles every step with attention to detail and comfort. We don’t rush procedures or rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we tailor your care to your goals and anatomy so that you can feel confident in your decision and the results.
