The Best Botox Options
New York / The Hamptons / Long Island
What is Botox?
Since its FDA approval in 2002, Botox has positioned itself as the number one non-surgical cosmetic procedure in New York. Botox is derived from its medical name, BOtulinum TOXin. It is a cosmetic injectable and its indications include “prevention and treatment of moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles.”
Redefining Health Medical provides New York Botox treatments performed by an aesthetic specialist, with a focus on treating dynamic wrinkles with natural-looking results. Our patient-centered approach and convenient Roslyn, NY location make Redefining Health Medical an excellent choice for those seeking Botox on the North and South Shore of Long Island, the Hamptons, and Queens.
Botox – A Dynamic Solution for Dynamic Wrinkles
Dynamic wrinkles, sometimes referred to as “wrinkles in motion,” develop as one gets older due to constant contraction and relaxation of facial muscles. These areas include the forehead, around the corners of the eyes, between the brows, at the bridge of the nose, above and below the lips, as well as frown lines.
Botox does not treat static wrinkles, sometimes called “wrinkles at rest,” which are not caused by motion. However, regular applications of Botox can prevent certain wrinkles from increasing in depth, allowing recipients to retain a more youthful appearance.
Botox Is FDA Approved
Botox was approved by the FDA after rigorous clinical trials that proved its safety and efficacy for dynamic wrinkles and fine lines, such as frown lines.
Where Botox Can Make The Biggest Impact
While Botox can’t solve every wrinkle, it can make a noticeable difference quickly in the following areas:
Forehead Wrinkles
These dynamic wrinkles appear as horizontal lines on the forehead. This can result from natural facial expressions over time, such as the raising of the eyebrows.
Frown Lines
These are also referred to as “vertical glabellar lines” (or, more commonly, “11’s”). They form between the eyebrows, usually as a result of squinting, grimacing, or crinkling the face.
Bunny Lines
This term refers to the nasal glabellar lines that form at the bridge of the nose. Like frown lines, bunny lines tend to form from the wrinkling of the nose when making certain expressions.
Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet (also known as “laugh lines”) form at the corners of the eyes. They can be caused by squinting, smiling, and other facial expressions. UV damage can also exacerbate crow’s feet.
Smoker’s Lips
The term “smoker’s lips” refers to the vertical lines that form above and below the lips. While smokers are generally more prone to these lip lines, they can happen to anyone. Pursing of the lips and exposure to the elements are also believed to amplify lip lines.
Marionette Lines
Named for their likeness to the artificial lower jaws of dolls, marionette lines are also referred to as “sad lower lip lines” because they deepen with frowns. Over time, they can cause the appearance of sagging in the lower half of the face.
Chin Dimpling
Chin dimpling refers to dynamic wrinkles and creases that form in the chin. Hyperactive mentalis muscles are a common cause of chin dimpling, though in some cases acne can be to blame.
Neck Lines
Over the years, the platysmal muscle bands of the neck tend to form creases in the skin. These creases deepen over time, but if caught early, can be calmed with Botox.
Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) typically happens in the underarms, feet, and palms. Botox injections have been shown to be effective in reducing the occurrence of hyperhidrosis.
Migraine Headaches
Migraines can be debilitating and cause suffering and impairment. Due to Botox’s unique effect of relaxing facial muscles, the FDA approved the treatment when it was determined the injections alleviated the severity of migraines or stopped them altogether.

The Botox Process
Botox is a muscle relaxant that is injected into the expressive muscle of the face to temporarily inhibit the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Injecting Botox into specific facial muscles temporarily paralyzes them, softening skin channels, reducing wrinkles, and smoothing fine lines. With muscle movement suspended, the skin stays at rest, and the appearance of wrinkles is reduced.
At Redefining Health Medical, the “relaxation” of the muscles under the skin is done safely and effectively with little to no downtime in our comfortable Roslyn, NY office. 87-90% of the approximately three million Botox patients worldwide have reported easing of wrinkles in less than a week. Some even achieve noticeable results in as little as three days after their first treatment, with minimal to no discomfort. The procedure produces noticeable results that generally last between three to six months.
Avoid the Frozen Look
Botox helps you maintain your youthful appearance and stave off common signs of aging skin caused by dynamic wrinkles. However, it takes an injector with skill and expertise to select the right number of Botox units and apply them to the correct muscles. With the correct placement, Botox provides a subtle, natural-looking enhancement that never looks frozen.
At Redefining Health Medical, we take care to avoid overcorrection so that our patients can continue to make natural facial expressions – just without the wrinkles!
Botox FAQs
What is Botox?
Botox is obtained from a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum…
Why is Botox better than over the counter treatments?
In-office cosmeceutical treatments such as Botox provide faster and more noticeable results than home wrinkle remedies and wrinkle creams.
What areas can be treated with Botox?
Botox is suitable for expression lines (also called dynamic wrinkles). Static wrinkles (those which remain on your skin when the face is at rest) may be better treated with dermal fillers or other treatments. During your consultation, our beauty experts will help you select the appropriate treatments to address your individual concerns.
Is Botox right for me?
Botox is excellent for dynamic wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, face, and neck. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Botox. Deep or severe wrinkles may require dermal fillers or other treatments to achieve the desired results.

How long does Botox last?
Botox generally lasts three to six months before the effects fade. Schedule a quick touch up once you notice the wrinkles returning, and you can maintain a youthful and refreshed look.
How long does it take to see Botox results?
Botox starts working a few days after treatment. Wrinkles will smooth out over the next two weeks, with some patients reporting visible improvements after the first few days! If this is your first time having Botox, don’t worry if you don’t see results immediately. Give it a full two weeks for the final results to become visible. It needs time for the ingredient to fully relax the treated muscles.
