Experience Matters When It Comes to Administering Botox

You’ve been bothered by neurological symptoms or wrinkles and have heard that Botox® can do wonders. So, can you go just anywhere for the minimally invasive treatment? If you’re hoping for optimum results and your ensured safety, then no.

At his New Rochelle, New York offices, fellowship-trained neurologist Dr. Farhad Elyaderani is pleased to offer Botox for neurological issues and cosmetic care. 

How Botox works

Botox contains a toxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles in the treatment area. As a result, cosmetic Botox effectively reduces common aging-related issues, such as:

  • Crow’s feet
  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines
  • Lines around your nose

Botox can also help treat neurological conditions, reducing issues like:

Botox may also reduce hypersalivation or excessive drooling, linked with Parkinson’s Disease and muscle tension from spinal cord injuries. 

Why an experienced Botox provider matters

Whether you seek Botox for cosmetic or neurological reasons, working with a qualified professional is the best way to ensure positive results. “Black market” injectables purchased online by inexperienced providers have caused a range of problems, from unnatural-looking cosmetic results to nerve damage.

Botox injected in party or non-medical spa settings can be risky due to poor technique, if the provider isn’t an experienced medical professional, or because of an unsanitary environment. Home settings often contain harmful bacteria, like yeast and mold, which can fuel infections. 

Unlicensed Botox providers have also been known to cause Botox illness, in which the active ingredient spreads beyond the treatment area. Symptoms like droopy eyelids, double vision, and breathing problems may require hospital care.

What to expect from Botox treatment in our office

As a trained and experienced physician, Dr. Elyaderani prioritizes your health and well-being above all else. As such, your Botox treatment plan will be customized to suit your needs and preferences. Performed in our pristine, clinical environment, you can rest assured that your safety will not be compromised.

Each Botox treatment requires only a short in-office appointment. You’ll likely experience a brief stinging or pinching sensation with each injection. While many people tolerate these sensations well, a topical numbing cream applied beforehand can minimize any discomfort.

Botox benefits tend to unfold within days of the injections, often lasting for several months. Dr. Elyaderani can recommend an ideal timeline for any consecutive treatments.
