Dermatologist Dr. Julia Tzu’s Perspective on Botox Treatments
“There are few noninvasive treatments in cosmetic dermatology that offer the dramatic and immediately gratifying results that botox provides. When performed skilfully, results are natural and facial expression is retained. My patients are always amazed by the profound but natural appearing improvement in their wrinkles after their injections.” – Dr. Julia Tzu, MD, FAAD
What Does BOTOX® Treat?
Botox is a cosmetic injection which treats muscle-related lines and wrinkles. It’s derived from botulinum toxin type A. Although botulinum toxin is a bacterially derived toxin originally discovered for its role in a serious medical condition called botulism, the drug itself is very safe and effective in reducing wrinkles when administered in appropriate doses and the correct anatomic sites by an experienced dermatologist.
Botox blocks the nerve impulses that cause contraction of the muscles leading to lines and furrows. Simply put, the muscles that cause wrinkles have a reduced ability to contract, resulting in smoother skin with a youthful appearance.
Crow’s Feet
These wrinkles form at the sides of the eyes and often appear when you smile. However, more severe crow’s feet is visible even when your face relaxes. The eyes are one of the most prominent aspects of the face and often where other’s look first, making these wrinkles an unfortunate indicator of age.
Frown Lines
The vertical lines found between the eyebrows are known as frown lines. These lines often produce unwanted expressions of exhaustion or anger even when your face is relaxed. Botox helps relax the muscles between the eyebrows for a smoother complexion and a more relaxed appearance.
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines run horizontally across the forehead. Similar to frown lines, forehead lines create unwanted facial expressions such as a look of surprise even when you don’t feel this way. As you age, these lines only grow deeper and continue to age your face.
Bunny Lines
These lines appear on either side of the nose and are most prominent when you scrunch your nose but can be visible even when your face relaxes. Dr. Tzu carefully injects the needle on either side of the nose for a smooth, youthful appearance around another prominent facial feature.
BOTOX® Cost in NYC
The cost of Botox in NYC typically ranges between $500-700 per area and treatment session.

Botox is a simple and nearly painless procedure which means you won’t need any anesthetic. Dr. Tzu carefully injects a thin needle into your desired treatment area and repeats as necessary. The entire cosmetic treatment lasts only a few minutes.
Recovery
There is no recovery necessary for Botox. You can return to normal activities such as work immediately following your cosmetic treatment. For best results, it’s important to stay upright, avoid rubbing the injection site, and forgo any overly strenuous activity for up to 24 hours.

Botox results are visible within a few days but takes up to 1-2 weeks for full enhancement. These results last around 2-4 months, with some clients reporting results lasting 4-6 months. After this time, it is recommended you get another procedure to maintain your smooth, youthful appearance.
