Not unless that’s the look you’re specifically requesting. At Wellness Dermatology, treatment is customized based on your goals. Many patients prefer a softer, natural look where facial movement is still maintained while wrinkles gradually improve.

Most patients tolerate Botox very well. The injections are performed using a very small needle, and patients typically describe the feeling as a quick sting or slight burning sensation that lasts only a few seconds.

No. Botox and filler work very differently. Botox temporarily relaxes muscle movement to soften dynamic wrinkles, while fillers restore lost volume and contour areas of the face.

No. Botox is temporary because your body naturally metabolizes the product over time. Most patients maintain their results with treatment approximately every 3 months.

Most patients return about every 3 months to maintain their results. Some patients may notice slightly longer-lasting results when supplementing with zinc, but consistency is important for wrinkle prevention and maintenance.

This depends on the individual patient and their skin concerns. Dr. E typically approaches Botox on a case-by-case basis, but many patients begin treatment around their 30s as a preventative measure against deeper wrinkles forming over time.
