Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
How Much Does BOTOX Cost in Orlando?
BOTOX costs vary at Primera Plastic Surgery. Like many practices, we charge by the unit. A “unit” is simply a fixed quantity of the product. There are 100 units in each vial of BOTOX. Although the cost per unit is fixed, each patient requires a different number of units to achieve his or her desired results. Therefore, patients with more significant concerns pay more than patients who wish to treat fairly minor wrinkles. You can find more details about BOTOX costs on our pricing page. During your consultation, we will give you a quote that reflects your specific needs and desired results. If you are interested in financing your procedure, we offer flexible financing through Alle Payment Plans.

BOTOX Cosmetic is a safe, FDA-approved product that is injected to minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive facial movements such as squinting, smiling, and concentrating, in both the upper and lower face.
What Exactly Does BOTOX DO?
The active ingredient in BOTOX, a neurotoxin called onabotulinumtoxinA, temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, reducing their appearance and smoothing the skin.
From A Patient's Perspective
Read and hear real people discuss their unique experiences and get a perspective that is sometimes missing from shorter reviews. These stories feature some of our actual patients describing their personal journeys and what makes Primera Plastic Surgery such a special place.
Our practitioners are experienced injectors who conservatively administer BOTOX Cosmetic precisely where it’s needed. At Primera Plastic Surgery, we use BOTOX to treat the following aesthetic concerns:
The primary difference between BOTOX and other injectable treatments such as JUVÉDERM®, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, RADIESSE®, or Restylane® is that BOTOX is not a facial filler. Rather than filling in or plumping up wrinkles to sit flush with the surrounding skin, BOTOX works by limiting the movements of certain muscle groups in the face.
Can BOTOX Be Combined With Other Treatments?
If you have sun damage, scarring, or areas of excessive pigmentation on your face, your BOTOX injections can be combined with a Fraxel® laser treatment. We may also include BOTOX injections as part of a comprehensive non-surgical or “liquid” facelift that includes dermal fillers such as RADIESSE, Restylane, and JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC.
Patient’s Share Their Stories
"There were a lot of doctors to choose from ... so I wanted to make sure I did all the research I could. All of my research led me to Dr. Gross."
Because BOTOX reduces wrinkles by preventing muscle contractions, practitioners must know all about the underlying facial muscle anatomy and know which facial muscles to treat with BOTOX in order to achieve the best results and avoid complications. Treated facial muscles commonly include:
Frontalis muscle in the forehead
Corrugator muscles in and between the eyebrows
Orbicularis oculi muscles surrounding the eyes
Procerus muscle over the upper nose
Orbicularis oris muscles encircling the mouth
Depressor anguli oris muscles at the corners of the mouth
Dr. Gross and his team have the knowledge and experience to ensure your safety, create natural results and maintain a normal level of facial expression when performing BOTOX injections. They can also treat neck sagging and bands by injecting the thin muscle that drapes from the jaw and down the neck called the platysmal muscle.
“Face muscles are complex, and a thorough understanding of contracting and counterbalancing muscles is needed. This relationship must be understood before injecting BOTOX.”
– Dr. Gross
Recovery After BOTOX Injections
Although BOTOX doesn’t require any sort of downtime or healing, some people experience light bruising after their injections. It’s important to avoid bending, lowering your head, rubbing or manipulating your face, or engaging in vigorous exercise for the remainder of the day. This allows the product to distribute evenly. These restrictions don’t typically interfere with most daily activities.
How Long Does It Take To See BOTOX Results?
BOTOX results typically appear in 5 to 7 days and peak at around 10 days, although experiences vary. Because it takes the active ingredient in BOTOX a few days to have an effect, results develop gradually. Many patients say they like the gradual development of results because it is very discreet.
How Long Does BOTOX Last?
The results of a single BOTOX treatment typically last about 3 or 4 months, sometimes longer. One benefit of getting regular treatments is that they seem to have a cumulative effect for many patients, meaning you may be able to wait longer in between sessions.

Is BOTOX Cosmetic safe? Yes, particularly when it is administered by a facial aesthetic specialist. Any cosmetic procedure comes with inherent risks, but those are minimized by the experience and training of our injectors, whose safety records are remarkable. BOTOX’s safety is one of the reasons it’s frequently the top non-surgical treatment in the country.
What does 40 units of BOTOX cover? While patient needs vary with severity of concerns (mild, moderate, or deep), whether they’ve been treated before, muscle strength (men often have stronger muscles than women), and other factors, 40 units of BOTOX will probably cover two of the following commonly treated concerns: forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet.
Will my results look natural? We advocate a conservative approach when it comes to using BOTOX. With their trained aesthetic eyes and many years of experience, our practitioners precisely target very small, specific muscles. They inject just enough BOTOX to achieve the desired correction without causing an “overdone” appearance. This ensures your results are subtle and natural looking and that your face remains expressive.
Are there any alternatives to BOTOX? We offer injections of Dysport®, a product that is very similar to BOTOX Cosmetic. Some patients see better results with one or the other, or a mix of both products. We also offer XEOMIN®, which works in a similar way. As part of your consultation, we will help you decide which product is best suited for your aesthetic goals.
Are there any risks or side effects I should know about? The most common side effects are minor and are related to the injection site, such as swelling, bruising, and redness. These typically diminish within a day or two, and we offer arnica gel as a temporary remedy to reduce these minor side effects. We also recommend patients take the supplement Arnica 30x®, which helps with bruising and swelling. More serious side effects include a drooping brow or eyelid, but this is extremely rare, particularly in the hands of a facial specialist who has a thorough knowledge of the musculature of the face.
Do the treatments have any other uses? Before it was a cosmetic treatment, BOTOX was used to treat medical conditions related to overactive muscles. It has been approved by the FDA for a number of medical conditions, such as chronic tension headaches, migraines, excessive sweating, overactive bladder, and muscle spasms near the eyes.
What’s the best age to start BOTOX treatments? There is no “right” age for BOTOX. Patients in their 20s can use BOTOX as a preventative measure to limit the activity of wrinkle-causing muscles and stave off dynamic wrinkles until later ages. People in their 30s, 40s, and up who notice fine expression lines or continually look tired can use BOTOX to refresh their appearance.
BOTOX Cosmetic can help you look younger, brighten your appearance, or simply reduce frown lines and wrinkles to help you look your best. BOTOX injections at our Lake Mary practice are safe and effective because our team has substantial experience with the product.
