BOTOX® & Other Neuromudulators

New York, NY

Introduction to BOTOX®

BOTOX and other neuromodulators target fine lines and wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses and temporarily paralyzing fine muscles that manifest the appearance of wrinkles. This temporary muscle paralysis can create the visual impact of a reduction in fine lines and, thereby, showcase a refreshed and youthful appearance. With modern technology and research, BOTOX is now used for aesthetic goals, relief from migraine headaches, excessive perspiration, and even calf reduction. It is a preferred choice of treatment for many as it has a low recovery time, is temporary and is non-invasive. While many spas and practices delegate BOTOX injections, Dr. Michelle Copeland and Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin personally treat patients with BOTOX in New York City, so you can be confident you are receiving the highest quality, concierge-style care.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX, short for Botulinum toxin type A, is a neuromodulator and wrinkle relaxer. It is a non-invasive muscle-relaxing agent aimed at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in sensitive and delicate areas of the body. BOTOX is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures out there because it is the only FDA-approved temporary wrinkle reliever. The substance is injected under the skin, causing instant nerve blockage that, in turn, causes muscle relaxation. This prevention of fine muscle contraction under the skin results in the facial skin surface looking smoother and, overall, more youthful.

Your BOTOX® journey

What’s the First Step?

The first step to getting BOTOX in New York City at the practice of Dr. Michelle Copeland and Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin is to schedule an in-person visit. During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations for treatment. Your doctor will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin condition, and the target areas of concern while outlining an individualized treatment, its associated risks, benefits, and anticipated results.

If you and your doctor agree to proceed, she will design a personalized treatment plan for you. You can then use this plan to schedule an injection at the time of your consultation or at a later, more convenient time.

What to Expect on the Day of a BOTOX® & Wrinkle Relaxers Treatment

On the day of your BOTOX treatment in New York City, your doctor and her team will receive you at our elegant 5th Avenue office directly across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and review your treatment plan. Patient satisfaction and comfort are always our priorities, and we want to make sure you are at ease during your treatment!

Topical numbing cream will be applied to the area being treated, and your doctor will inject the material into designated muscles of your face that are causing unwanted lines and wrinkles. You might experience very mild tingling during the injection process, which will resolve quickly. As part of your treatment, Dr. Copeland and Dr. Copeland-Halperin apply a unique LED light therapy to decrease bruising and redness and stimulate collagen.

The treatment takes only a few minutes, requires no anesthesia, and there is no downtime, allowing you to return to work with no restrictions that same day! You can see the effects of your BOTOX treatment within 24-72 hours, but it can take up to two weeks to see the maximal effects. Because of this, Dr. Copeland and Dr. Copeland-Halperin see their patients back two weeks following treatment for any additional BOTOX, and this treatment is included in the initial treatment cost!
