BOTOX is a minimally invasive treatment offered at Vascular Birthmark Institute to reduce facial wrinkles, manage muscle tightness, and treat facial asymmetry caused by nerve disorders. Led by Dr. Waner and Dr. O, our team uses BOTOX to improve both cosmetic appearance and functional outcomes for patients of all ages.
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX is an FDA-approved injectable derived from botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. At Vascular Birthmark Institute, BOTOX is used to soften facial wrinkles, improve facial balance, and manage conditions like facial nerve paralysis, synkinesis, and muscle spasms. By carefully administering small doses to specific areas, our doctors—Dr. Waner and Dr. O—achieve natural-looking results. BOTOX can be an effective standalone treatment or part of a comprehensive plan to enhance cosmetic and functional outcomes.
BOTOX Treats:
- Fine lines and dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes
- Facial asymmetry caused by nerve damage or paralysis
- Synkinesis, or involuntary facial muscle movements
- Muscle spasms or tightness in the face and neck
- Jaw clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Gummy smile or lip imbalance
- Migraine symptoms related to muscle tension
How BOTOX Works
BOTOX works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscles to contract. When injected into targeted muscles, it temporarily interrupts this communication, causing the muscles to relax. This controlled relaxation reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and helps correct abnormal muscle activity seen in conditions like synkinesis or facial asymmetry.
The effects typically begin within a few days and last three to four months. Our doctors use BOTOX with precision to achieve natural and aesthetic results.

Your BOTOX Treatment
At Vascular Birthmark Institute, your BOTOX treatment begins with a consultation to assess your concerns and treatment goals. Our doctors will identify the exact muscles contributing to your symptoms or appearance. During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject small, carefully measured doses of BOTOX into targeted areas. You may feel a slight pinch, but the process typically takes only 10-20 minutes. There is no downtime.
Recovery After BOTOX
You can return to most normal activities immediately. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a day or two. To ensure optimal results, avoid rubbing the treated areas, lying flat, or engaging in strenuous activity for at least four hours. Side effects are rare but may include temporary muscle weakness or headache. Our doctors will provide aftercare instructions to help you recover comfortably.
BOTOX Results
You’ll begin to notice results from your BOTOX treatment within 3 to 5 days, with full improvement typically visible by two weeks. The effects usually last 3 to 4 months, depending on the area treated and your response. To maintain your results, treatments can be safely repeated as needed. Our doctors will work with you to develop a personalized schedule that keeps your appearance and muscle function balanced, natural, and consistent over time.
