Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating wrinkles and creases.
When you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows, certain facial muscles contract repeatedly. Over time, this repetitive movement etches lines into your skin.
Botox interrupts the signal between the nerve and the muscle, reducing the intensity of these contractions. The result is smoother skin and softer lines, without freezing your face or eliminating your ability to express emotion.
Dr. Wiener targets only the muscles that contribute to unwanted lines, leaving the surrounding areas free to move naturally. This creates a refreshed, balanced appearance that still looks like you.
Targeted Treatment for Lines & Expression
Botox works its magic by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles and lines caused by repeated muscle contraction and movement. By targeting these specific muscles, Botox reduces the appearance of fine lines while maintaining natural expression and movement. The goal is smoother skin and a refreshed look—never a frozen or overdone appearance.
Dr. Wiener carefully evaluates your facial anatomy and how your muscles move to determine which areas will benefit most from treatment. By focusing only on the muscles contributing to unwanted lines, surrounding areas are left free to move naturally, creating balanced, natural-looking results that still look like you.
- Forehead lines that run horizontally across the brow.
- “11” lines between the eyebrows that create a furrowed or stern appearance.
- Crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes.
- Bunny lines that appear when scrunching the nose.
- Brow lift treatments to subtly open the eye area and reduce heaviness.
- Gummy smile treatment to reduce excess gum display when smiling.
- Lip flip to gently enhance the upper lip without adding volume.
- Smoker’s lines around the mouth.
- Dimpled chin that appears textured or uneven.
- Platysmal bands in the neck that create vertical cords.
- Masseter muscle treatment to soften a square jawline, relieve jaw tension, and reduce teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism).
During your consultation, Dr. Wiener maps out precise injection points based on your unique movement patterns. This personalized approach ensures results that enhance your features rather than erase expression—leaving you looking refreshed, balanced, and naturally confident.
Preventative Botox® For Early Intervention
You don’t need deep wrinkles to benefit from Botox. Many patients in their late twenties and early thirties use it preventively to slow the formation of lines before they become permanent.
When you relax the muscles that cause expression lines, you reduce the repetitive folding of the skin. This helps prevent wrinkles from deepening or becoming etched into place.
Dr. Wiener takes a conservative approach with younger patients. The goal is to preserve your natural movement and expressiveness while keeping your skin smooth and youthful.
Your Botox® Experience: Process & Comfort
A Botox appointment is quick, straightforward, and requires no downtime.
Before Treatment
Arrive with a clean face. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for a few days beforehand to minimize bruising.
During Treatment
You can return to your normal routine immediately. Avoid lying down, bending over, or exercising for 4 hours. Don’t rub or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
You may notice small bumps or slight redness at the injection sites, but these usually fade within an hour or two. Bruising is uncommon and typically minor.
After Treatment

Results, Duration, & Maintenance
Botox doesn’t work instantly. The neurotoxin needs time to relax the targeted muscles and smooth the overlying skin.
Timeline:
- 3 to 5 days: You may start to notice subtle softening in the treated areas.
- 7 to 10 days: Results become more visible as the Botox takes full effect.
- 10 to 14 days: Maximum results are achieved. This is when you’ll see the smoothest, most polished outcome.
Results typically last 3 to 5 months. How long your Botox lasts depends on your metabolism, muscle strength, dosage, and how your body processes the product.
Most patients return every 3 to 4 months to maintain their results. Over time, regular treatments can extend the longevity of Botox as the muscles become conditioned to relax.
Customized, Balanced Results
The difference between a natural result and an overdone appearance comes down to dosing and technique.
Dr. Wiener doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. During your consultation, he evaluates your facial structure, muscle strength, and movement patterns. He determines the precise number of units needed to achieve the result you want without over-treating or under-treating.
The goal is always to look like a refreshed version of yourself. Not frozen. Not expressionless. Just smoother, more rested, and more confident.
