What is Botox?

Understanding dynamic wrinkles and non-surgical optimization

Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles. When injected in small, precise amounts, it reduces repetitive muscle movement that causes dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.

Safe, quick, and non-surgical, Botox has a long track record and is widely used to rejuvenate the upper face with a natural look when performed by an experienced clinician like Dr. Kolker.

The Botox Process at Our Practice

From consultation to injection, a seamless experience

Your journey begins with a thoughtful consultation to understand your goals, medical history, and any concerns. Dr. Kolker then creates a personalized plan, using precise dosing and injection technique to optimize outcome while preserving natural movement.

  • Consultation and plan: Dr. Kolker reviews your facial anatomy, sets realistic expectations, and designs a personalized dosing plan.
  • Injection approach: Using fine needles and precise anatomical knowledge, injections are distributed to balance effect and expression.
  • Comfort and safety: Topical numbing is available, sterile technique is maintained, and safety remains the priority.
  • Post-treatment care: Essential aftercare guidance helps you protect results and minimize downtime.

Most sessions are quick, and a topical numbing option is available if comfort is preferred. After your treatment, you can resume normal activities, with perhaps mild redness or bruising that resolves quickly.
