At a Glance
Everything You Need to Know
Treatment Areas
Crow’s feet, forehead lines, glabellar (frown) lines, and other areas prone to dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement.
How It Works
A neurotoxin that blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing the contractions that cause wrinkles and softening the skin above them.
The Visit
A quick in-office treatment, typically 15–30 minutes, with optional topical numbing. A follow-up at two weeks allows for photo documentation and any dose adjustment.
Results Duration
Results typically appear in 5–7 days and last 3–4 months. Many patients maintain results longest with treatments roughly every 3 months.
Why Patients Choose BOTOX
A quick visit,
a natural refresh.
BOTOX Cosmetic remains the most requested treatment at The Piazza Center — a fast, minimally invasive way to soften dynamic wrinkles without surgery or downtime, with results that read as refreshed rather than “done.”
