BOTOX INJECTIONS
A NATIONAL LEADER IN SKIN CARE
Want to get BOTOX injections in Miami? Over the course of time, facial expressions like smiling and frowning create wrinkles and creases in the face that can cause us to look aged and tired compared to what we used to see in the mirror. BOTOX injections temporarily counteract this process by targeting and relaxing the muscle or muscles that cause the wrinkles to form in the first place. The result is a natural, line-free look in the treated area or areas.
BOTOX injections — injecting a protein derived from the botulism toxin — freeze, or paralyze, the muscles in the face, which relaxes the wrinkles and smooths them out. This freezing effect is specific to the muscles that create the fine lines and wrinkles, so the basic muscle function of the face is not interrupted. Normal facial animation and expression are maintained, but without the unwanted lines. The effects of BOTOX can be seen within one week of treatment, and last up to six months.
What Can BOTOX Correct
BOTOX is best used to correct fine lines on the face, like those around the eyes (“crow’s feet”), forehead (frown lines and the “number 11” lines in between the eyes) and mouth. BOTOX can also be used as a temporary eyebrow lift. When injected into the corners of the eyebrows, it fixes the problem of a falling arch caused by age, and creates a more youthful-looking brow.
Another use for BOTOX is to diminish excessive sweating. If you have problems with excessive underarm wetness, even with the use of antiperspirants, you may want to consider having BOTOX treatment under your arms. BOTOX can also be used to control perspiration in the area above the lip.
Benefits Of BOTOX
As a non-surgical treatment for wrinkles, BOTOX requires no surgery, no lengthy doctor visits and little to no downtime afterwards. You get the benefits of a smooth, line-free face without the scars, discomfort or recovery time of a surgery. And compared to more invasive procedures, the price of BOTOX is extremely reasonable. BOTOX is FDA-approved and is a popular treatment used by many to smooth out the lines on the face as a non-surgical alternative to facial plastic surgeries.
Am I A Good Candidate BOTOX?
You are considered a good candidate for BOTOX if you:
- Have moderate to severe wrinkles or lines on your face
- Are in generally good health
How BOTOX Injections Work
A BOTOX treatment normally takes between 10 and 30 minutes. During this time, the patient will receive several injections in each muscle being treated (as injections are made in the muscle causing the wrinkle, and not necessarily in the wrinkle area itself). There is minimal, if any, discomfort caused by the injections. Some patients experience mild pressure in the area being treated, though it subsides quickly. Results of the treatment can be seen in less than a week.
Recovery From BOTOX
There is little downtime after BOTOX injections, and patients can go back to normal activities immediately, as long as they are careful not to touch or move the treated muscles for a few hours after treatment. Patients should also refrain from vigorous activity for the first 24 hours after surgery, as this can contribute to bruising and swelling. In the days after treatment, there may be some swelling or redness in the treated areas, but these effects usually go away within days of the treatment.

BOTOX FAQs
How often should I get BOTOX to maintain results?
Most patients schedule BOTOX treatments every 3 to 4 months to maintain consistent results. Over time, you may find that you can extend the time between sessions, as repeated treatments may lead to longer-lasting muscle relaxation. Dr. Krau will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your goals and how your body responds.
Can BOTOX be used preventatively in younger patients?
Yes. Preventative BOTOX (sometimes called “baby BOTOX”) is popular among patients in their 20s and early 30s who want to delay the onset of dynamic wrinkles. By softening muscle activity before lines become deep-set, early treatments can help preserve smooth skin and reduce the need for more intensive correction later.
What should I avoid after a BOTOX injection?
After your treatment, avoid rubbing or massaging the area, lying down flat, or doing vigorous exercise for at least six hours. These precautions help prevent the product from migrating, ensuring optimal placement remains intact. You should also avoid alcohol and heat exposure (like saunas or hot yoga) for 24 hours to reduce swelling or bruising.
Is BOTOX safe for long-term use?
BOTOX has an excellent safety record and is FDA-approved for cosmetic use. Many patients receive BOTOX for years with no adverse effects. When performed by a qualified provider like Dr. Krau, long-term use is generally safe and may even slow the development of deeper lines.
How is BOTOX different from dermal fillers like Juvéderm?
BOTOX relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (those formed by facial expressions), while dermal fillers like Juvéderm add volume to smooth out static wrinkles or hollow areas. The two treatments often complement each other — BOTOX for areas like the forehead and crow’s feet, and fillers for the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds.
Are BOTOX results customizable for a more subtle look?
Absolutely. Dr. Krau tailors each BOTOX treatment based on your anatomy and preferences. Whether you want a dramatic brow lift or a soft reduction in forehead lines, dosage and injection points can be adjusted to deliver natural-looking, subtle results.
What is the cost of BOTOX in Miami?
BOTOX pricing varies based on the number of units used, the areas treated, and the expertise of the injector. During your consultation, Dr. Krau’s team will provide a detailed cost estimate based on your treatment plan.
Is BOTOX different from Dysport or Xeomin?
BOTOX, Dysport, and Xeomin are all neuromodulators that work in a similar way, but they differ in protein structure and diffusion. Some patients respond better to one over the others. Dr. Krau primarily uses BOTOX, but during your consultation, he can discuss alternatives based on your goals and history.
Is BOTOX right for men?
Yes. BOTOX is increasingly popular among men who want to maintain a youthful, refreshed look while preserving masculine facial features. Dr. Krau understands the aesthetic differences between male and female anatomy and adjusts his technique to deliver natural-looking results for all patients.
