Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but if they're making you feel less like yourself, Botox may be the solution you've been looking for.

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment derived from botulinum toxin type A. When administered in small, controlled doses by a skilled provider, it temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles: the lines that form from repeated expressions like smiling, squinting, and frowning. The result is a smoother, more refreshed appearance that still looks like you.
Botox is most commonly used to treat forehead lines, glabellar lines (the "11s" between the brows), and crow's feet around the eyes. It can also be used for a number of other aesthetic and medical applications, including brow lifting, jaw slimming, and excessive sweating. Treatment takes just minutes, requires no anesthesia, and involves little to no discomfort. Most patients are in and out of the office in under 30 minutes and return to their normal activities immediately afterward. Results typically begin to appear within three to five days and are fully visible within two weeks, making it one of the most convenient and effective non-surgical wrinkle treatments available today.
Botox is most frequently used as a facial wrinkle treatment for dynamic wrinkles — lines caused by repeated muscle movement. Common treatment areas include the forehead, the area between the brows, and the corners of the eyes. Beyond cosmetic applications, Botox is also used to treat medical conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), migraines, and jaw clenching. During your consultation at Hudson Dermatology, Dr. Agarwal-Antal will evaluate your concerns and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach for your goals.
In most cases, Botox treatments for wrinkles last between three and four months, though results can vary depending on the individual, the area treated, and the dose administered. Many patients find that with regular treatments over time, results tend to last longer as the targeted muscles gradually weaken from reduced use. Dr. Agarwal-Antal and her team will work with you to establish a maintenance schedule that keeps you looking and feeling your best year-round.
Before your Botox treatment, Dr. Agarwal-Antal will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and identify the optimal injection sites. On the day of treatment, the area will be cleansed, and a fine needle will be used to deliver small amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. Most patients experience minimal discomfort. After treatment, you may notice minor redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this typically resolves within a few hours. Botox before and after results are gradual — you'll begin to see the muscles relax within a few days, with full results visible at the two-week mark.
The cost of Botox varies depending on the number of areas treated and the number of units required to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Agarwal-Antal will provide a clear breakdown of pricing so you know exactly what to expect before moving forward. Hudson Dermatology is committed to transparent, honest pricing — because great skin care should never come with surprises. Botox is generally not covered by insurance when used for cosmetic purposes, though it may be covered for certain medical indications.
