Botox

If you’ve been curious about smoothing fine lines or softening expression wrinkles without surgery, Botox® might already be on your radar. There’s a good reason it’s one of the most popular aesthetic treatments available, and skilled provider Sharon Gertzman, DO, of Serenity Medical Spa in Pennington, New Jersey, offers Botox and other FDA-approved treatments like Dysport® and Daxxify® for lines and wrinkles. Schedule your appointment today by calling the Serenity Medical Spa office or booking online.

What is Botox®?

Botox® is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin that Dr. Gertzman uses in tiny, controlled doses to relax targeted facial muscles. This gives you smoother skin and a more rested look.

Serenity Medical Spa customizes your treatments to meet your aesthetic needs, and their range of wrinkle-smoothing treatments also includes Dysport® and Daxxify®. Dr. Gertzman can help determine which one best fits your goals.

What concerns can Botox address?

Botox reduces the dynamic wrinkles you get from repeated facial expressions, such as:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the eyebrows (often called “11s”)
• Crow’s feet around the eyes

It can also be used in other creative ways, such as lifting the brows, softening neck bands, or minimizing a “gummy” smile. Dr. Gertzman can also help you reduce jaw tension or slim your jawline.

While Botox works wonders for expression lines, it’s not designed for the deep wrinkles that come from volume loss over time. In those cases, Serenity Medical Spa may recommend combining treatments for a more comprehensive result.

What can I expect at my Botox treatment?

These quick appointments can fit neatly into a lunch break. Dr. Gertzman uses a very fine needle to inject small amounts of the product into targeted muscles. She balances gentle application with results-oriented care, so while you may feel a small pinch, your appointment should be very comfortable.

In less than half an hour, you can return to your regular schedule. It’s a good idea to avoid strenuous exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated area for a few hours.

What happens after my Botox appointment?

For most patients, results appear within 3-5 days, with full effects of Botox visible around 10-14 days. Dysport may work slightly faster for some, while Daxxify is known for longer-lasting results in certain patients. These are some of the factors Dr. Gertzman considers when she personalizes your care.

Most Botox results last about 3-4 months, though this can vary based on the product used, your metabolism, and the treatment area.

Whether you’re trying to prevent early signs of aging or soften existing lines, Botox offers a subtle, natural-looking way to amplify your natural beauty. Call or click to book a visit at Serenity Medical Spa and discuss your best options today.
