Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
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 wrinkles in both the upper and lower face. To understand how BOTOX works, it’s important to understand how wrinkles work.
BOTOX Cosmetic treats “dynamic” wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive facial movements. These include crow’s feet, which are caused by squinting or smiling, and glabellar lines, which form between the eyebrows and are caused by furrowing your brow or frowning. Of course, we can’t selectively avoid making facial expressions forever just to reduce the chance of developing wrinkles. This is where BOTOX Cosmetic becomes useful. The active ingredient in BOTOX, a neurotoxin called OnabotulinumtoxinA, temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause these wrinkles, reducing their appearance and smoothing the skin.

Read Patient StoriesOur 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:
Fibroblast lift therapy may be used to address many of these concerns as well. 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 facelift treatment plan.
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.
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.
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:
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.
"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."

View our loyalty programs See our current specialsSince we use an extremely small needle, most patients describe BOTOX injections as mildly uncomfortable but not painful. We can make the process even more comfortable by using a highly effective topical anesthetic called BLT to numb your face before beginning the injections. The procedure itself is extremely quick, lasting only a few minutes. For many people, a BOTOX appointment is easy to fit into a workday or an afternoon of errands.
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.
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.
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.
“Face muscles are complex, and a thorough understanding of contracting and counterbalancing muscles is needed. This relationship must be understood before injecting BOTOX.”
