How Botox® Helps Reduce Signs of Aging
- Posted on: Jul 15 2026
Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself and noticed lines or wrinkles that seemed more prominent than you expected? As we age, changes in the skin can make us appear older than we feel. Botox® is one of the most popular treatments for softening these visible signs of aging without surgery.
At Sasson Plastic Surgery in Great Neck, NY, Botox® treatments are performed by Dr. Homayoun Sasson, a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with more than 30 years of experience, and Donna Falk Carter, PA-C, MsPH, ACLS, and FEMA-certified, who has extensive experience with injectables and facial rejuvenation treatments. Together, they help individuals reduce visible signs of aging and achieve natural-looking results that complement their unique features.
What Is Botox®?
Botox® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By reducing muscle activity in specific areas, Botox® helps smooth existing wrinkles and slows the formation of deeper expression lines.
Common Areas Treated With Botox®
Botox is commonly used to soften dynamic wrinkles in areas such as:
- Forehead lines caused by raising the eyebrows
- Frown lines between the eyebrows, often called “11 lines”
- Crow’s feet that develop around the outer corners of the eyes
- Bunny lines that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or squinting
How Long Does Botox® Last?
Botox® results typically last three to four months, although this can vary based on factors such as the treatment area, muscle activity, and individual metabolism. As the effects gradually wear off, muscle movement returns, and wrinkles may become more noticeable. Regular maintenance treatments can help keep your results looking smooth and consistent.
