In the hands of a physician who blends elite medical training with artistry, Botox becomes a subtle enhancement rather than a change. Dr. Adam R. Kolker, a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Manhattan, specializes in natural-looking aesthetic treatments for the face, and Botox is a cornerstone of his non-surgical offerings.
With over two decades of experience and a private Park Avenue practice, Dr. Kolker emphasizes patient safety, individualized plans, and compassionate care. He has earned recognition from New York Magazine and Newsweek, and serves as Associate Clinical Professor at Mount Sinai, reflecting a commitment to excellence and the highest standards of care.

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.

In a field where patient safety and predictable results matter most, his practice prioritizes sterile technique, cautious dosing, and conservative, natural-looking outcomes that preserve your facial expressiveness.
