Botox in Boca Raton, FL
Our lives are filled with emotion, which reflects in our faces. Happiness, sadness, and anger, for example, all affect the lines on our faces and around our eyes. In addition, sun exposure, genetics, and daily stress can exacerbate forehead furrows, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet. These changes can occur as early as your mid-20s and become more prominent as the years pass, making you feel older, more tired, or angrier than you’d like.
Board-certified Boca Raton plastic surgeon Dr. Albert Dabbah offers the popular non-invasive injectable, Botox®, to slow down and counter these lines and wrinkles. Botox can also calm overactive muscles and create a smoother appearance in other areas, including your nose, chin, and neck. In addition, Dr. Dabbah often uses precise, strategic injections to enhance facial symmetry and balance.

What is Botox, and How Does it Work?
Botox is one of many neuromodulators available today – others include Dysport® and Xeomin®. Because Botox was the first on the market and is still the most widely used product in its class, it has become a household name.
When injected into the muscles that create expression, such as squinting or frowning, Botox blocks nerve signals, preventing them from contracting and allowing the overlying skin to smooth and relax.
Botox Consultation With Dr. Dabbah
During a consultation for facial rejuvenation, Dr. Dabbah will discuss your concerns and analyze your distinctive facial movements. He will then determine if Botox is an appropriate procedure for you. Dr. Dabbah will review how he will inject the areas of concern and what he expects the outcome to be. Every patient’s cosmetic goals and facial anatomy are unique, and a plastic surgeon with knowledge of the intricacies of the muscles of the face is the appropriate provider to customize your treatment.
What Is Dr. Dabbah’s Procedure for Botox?
Dr. Dabbah performs Botox in his comfortable Boca Raton office. Though these injections are generally well-tolerated, you may choose to have numbing cream applied to the area to relieve discomfort.
Before proceeding with your injections, Dr. Dabbah will confirm your treatment areas by asking you to make various facial expressions to determine where to introduce Botox with a tiny cannula. A single treatment can take up to 15 minutes, depending on the number of injection sites.
You may resume your activities immediately following the injections, although Dr. Dabbah requests no pressure be placed on the sites treated and no physical exercise for the remainder of the day. Lastly, he suggests refraining from makeup and sunblock for 6 hours to alleviate potential bacteria entering the injection sites. You may notice small bumps and redness, but both resolve within 15 minutes. The most common side effects of Botox are a slight headache, tenderness to the touch, and possible bruising.
"Dr. Dabbah is one of most trustworthy, thoughtful and kind doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. His attention to detail and kind demeanor made everything about my visit with him comfortable and disarming."
Why Choose Dr. Albert Dabbah for Botox?

Recovery After Botox Injections
First-time Botox patients notice the effect of Botox within five days to two weeks. Those who have been treated previously notice the effect of Botox within a day or two. The results of Botox can last from three to four months, depending on how active the patient is with expressions. Consistent use of Botox can train the muscles to stop contracting, allowing the results to last longer. Patients who have had a facelift or eyelid surgery will still love the effects of Botox and dermal fillers.

FAQs
Boca Raton Botox
There is no ideal age to start with Botox. We have millennials who are trying to get a jumpstart on youthful aging. We have patients in their 80s trying to stay youthful or want to get their upper face sculpted.
There is minimal discomfort during the treatment. Patients can request numbing cream to help with that.
Yes. Botox is FDA-approved for lines and wrinkles. However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we advise you to refrain from Botox.
Dr. Dabbah customizes dosing based on your anatomy, muscle strength, and goals.
Yes! Facial fillers are an excellent complement to Botox and other neuromodulators because they combat another sign of aging – volume loss. For example, if your cheeks, lips, or temples look flat or hollow, Dr. Dabbah can inject strategic quantities of fillers to plump and contour those areas.
Yes, but plan carefully if you are a neuromodulator novice. We recommend scheduling your treatment at least two weeks before an event to give your results enough time to develop.
Your muscles will gradually resume their full range of motion, allowing fine lines to reappear.
Botox can relieve migraine pain, excessive sweating, uncontrollable muscle twitching, an overactive bladder, and jaw discomfort caused by TMJ. Ask Dr. Dabbah about these non-cosmetic purposes.
Absolutely. Botox is popular among men who want a refreshed, natural look without downtime.
Minor bruising is possible but usually fades quickly. Avoiding alcohol and specific blood-thinning supplements beforehand can minimize it.
Strategically placed injections can create a subtle lifting effect, opening your eyes and creating a more rested appearance.
Injecting a small amount of Botox will relax your upper lip, creating a slightly fuller, more defined look without filler.
Botox will naturally wear off after a few months. Scheduling touch-up appointments before your results fade completely will “retrain” your muscles to stop contracting. We also recommend staying hydrated, minimizing stress, drinking plenty of water, and using medical-grade skincare products to achieve a healthy, youthful glow.
