Forehead lines
Horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows. Careful dosing smooths them while keeping natural brow movement.
Botox® in Newton, MA
Smoother lines and a more rested look
Botox® Cosmetic has helped people soften expression lines for more than twenty years, and it remains one of the most requested aesthetic treatments in the country.
It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell certain facial muscles to contract. As those muscles relax, the skin over them creases less and existing lines look smoother.
Treatment is quick and needs no downtime, so it fits easily into a lunch break or a busy afternoon.
At our Newton office, we keep Botox® results subtle and balanced, preserving the expressions that make you look like you.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Botox® last?
Most patients see results for three to four months. With regular treatment, some people find they can go a little longer between visits.
When will I see results?
You’ll usually notice a difference within three to five days, and results reach their peak at around two weeks.
Does Botox® hurt?
Most people describe a brief pinch. The needle is very fine, the appointment is short, and numbing cream is available if you’d like it.
Can Botox® be combined with filler?
Yes. Botox® relaxes lines caused by movement, while filler restores volume and fills creases that are visible at rest. Many patients benefit from both.
