Forehead Lines
Horizontal forehead creases form from the frontalis muscle raising the brows. Dr. Fakhre places Botox strategically across the frontalis to soften lines while maintaining brow position and natural movement.

About This Service
What Is Botox?
How Botox Works
Every time you squint, frown, or raise your eyebrows, specific facial muscles contract. Over years, these contractions etch permanent lines into the overlying skin.
Botox interrupts that cycle. The neurotoxin binds to nerve endings at the neuromuscular junction, blocking acetylcholine release. Without acetylcholine, the targeted muscle cannot contract with its usual force.
The result is smoother skin that still moves. My Aesthetic Doctor calibrates Botox dosing to reduce wrinkle depth without eliminating natural expression.
Botox vs. Other Neurotoxins
My Aesthetic Doctor also offers Daxxify and Xeomin as neurotoxin alternatives. Botox remains the most widely studied option with over 20 years of clinical data supporting its safety and efficacy for cosmetic use.
Dr. Fakhre recommends the specific neurotoxin that matches your treatment goals, skin response, and desired duration of results.
Treatment Details
Botox Treatment Areas
Frown Lines (Glabellar Complex)
The "11" lines between your brows result from corrugator supercilii and procerus muscle activity. Botox relaxes this muscle group to eliminate the appearance of a permanent scowl.
Crow's Feet
The orbicularis oculi muscle encircles each eye. My Aesthetic Doctor targets specific fibers in the lateral portion to smooth crow's feet without affecting the natural smile pattern around your eyes.
Additional Areas
Dr. Fakhre uses Botox for brow lifts, bunny lines on the nose, lip lines, and chin dimpling. Each injection site is determined by your facial anatomy, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Benefits
Benefits of Botox Treatment
I.
Visible Wrinkle Reduction in Days
Botox begins working within 24 to 48 hours, with full results appearing at 10 to 14 days. Most patients see a significant reduction in wrinkle depth that lasts 3 to 4 months.
II.
Natural-Looking Results
The fear of looking "frozen" is valid but avoidable. My Aesthetic Doctor uses precise dosing and targeted placement to relax wrinkles while preserving the micro-movements that make your face look alive.
Dr. Fakhre's approach produces results that others notice as "you look great" rather than "you got Botox."
III.
Preventive Benefits
Botox is not only corrective. Treating dynamic wrinkles in your 30s can prevent them from becoming static lines that persist even at rest. My Aesthetic Doctor discusses preventive strategies during your consultation.
IV.
Quick Treatment, No Downtime
A Botox session at My Aesthetic Doctor takes 15 to 20 minutes. No anesthesia required. Most patients resume their full schedule immediately after leaving our Larchmont office.
Our Process
The Botox Process at My Aesthetic Doctor
I.
Facial Assessment
Dr. Fakhre examines your facial muscles at rest and during expression. She identifies which muscles drive your specific wrinkle patterns and marks precise injection points.
II.
Treatment Planning
Based on your anatomy and goals, Dr. Fakhre selects Botox dosing for each injection site. She explains exactly what to expect and ensures you understand the treatment plan before proceeding.
III.
Injection
Using ultra-fine needles, Dr. Fakhre administers Botox at the marked injection points. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. The entire injection process takes 10 to 15 minutes.
IV.
Post-Treatment Guidance
My Aesthetic Doctor provides aftercare instructions including avoiding rubbing the treated areas and staying upright for 4 hours. Results begin appearing within 2 to 3 days, with full effect at 10 to 14 days.
Candidacy
Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox?

- ✓ You have forehead lines, frown lines, or crow's feet that bother you
- ✓ You want wrinkle reduction without surgery or injectable fillers
- ✓ You prefer treatments performed by a Board Certified Physician
- ✓ You are looking for subtle refinement, not a dramatic change
Botox May Not Be Appropriate If

Treatment Details
What to Expect from Botox Results
Timeline
Botox results follow a predictable pattern. Initial muscle relaxation begins at 24 to 48 hours. Wrinkle smoothing becomes visible at day 3 to 5. Full results appear at 10 to 14 days.
Duration
Results typically last 3 to 4 months. Some patients find that with consistent treatments, the interval between sessions gradually extends as the targeted muscles weaken over time.
Maintenance
My Aesthetic Doctor recommends scheduling follow up treatments before full muscle activity returns. This proactive approach maintains smooth skin and prevents wrinkles from re-establishing their patterns.
Dr. Fakhre tracks your results at each visit and adjusts dosing based on how your muscles respond over time.
