The signs of aging can be frustrating, especially when they’re small like the lines across the forehead. Injectable treatments like Botox® help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face to help you turn back the hands of time. We are happy to offer Botox® to residents of Rochester, NY and the neighboring communities.
What is Botox®?
The wrinkles in our forehead are known as “action wrinkles,” or wrinkles that occur in the face that happens when we express ourselves and move our eyebrows. Botox® is made from a toxin called botulinum toxin which temporarily stops the movement of muscles in the treated areas to prevent the appearance of these action wrinkles in the skin. This minimizes the appearance of lines across your forehead and between your eyebrows to give you a more refreshed, relaxed and youthful look.

How Much Does Botox® Cost in Rochester, NY?
Your Botox® treatment is going to be highly customized to you, your current condition and your desired results. Because of this, the cost of your treatment is going to be just as customized and tailored to you. If you are interested in getting a specific price for your treatment, it’s best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kim. During that consultation, you can talk to Dr. Kim about your payment options. Natural Face™ also offers financing plans for your convenience.
What is a Consultation for Botox® Like?
During your consultation, you’ll sit down with Dr. Kim to talk about the best course of action for your treatment. You can tell him about the concerns you have with your appearance and he’ll provide you with guidance and a customized treatment plan regarding your concerns. During your consultation, you’ll also be provided with an outline of how your treatment will go and any post-operative care instructions he may have for you.
How is Botox® Performed?
For the two weeks leading up to your treatment, try to avoid anti-inflammatory drugs. The treatment itself doesn’t last very long – about 30 to 45 minutes. During this time, Dr. Kim may give you a topical cream or ice pack to numb the area being treated. Once numbed, Dr. Kim will make a series of injections in the area you would like to be treated with a very fine needle that minimizes discomfort.
Am I a Good Candidate for Botox®?
The ideal patient for Botox® is in his or her 30s, 40s or 50s with moderate to severe wrinkles in the forehead, temples, and around the eyes. These patients are in good physical health with no extreme health conditions. If you are looking to fill in the volume around the face, such as in areas around the cheeks and lips, consider dermal fillers instead. Botox® is also a great treatment to be used in conjunction with a brow lift or facelift.
