Botox® Treatment
Botox® Treatment
Botox® treatment at GFaceMD is a precision medical procedure, with medical-grade Botox® dosing, an anatomy-first assessment, and results that look refreshed, not frozen. Botox® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles responsible for repetitive dynamic wrinkles, lines formed by squinting, frowning, and smiling that deepen with age. Botox® for wrinkles at GFaceMD begins with a full facial assessment before a single unit is placed. Preventative Botox® initiated earlier in the aging process slows the deepening of expression lines before they become permanent.
GFaceMD also offers Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Letybo® for patients who prefer an alternative formulation. Available at all four GFaceMD Massachusetts locations, with Boston as the primary hub serving Back Bay, Newton, Brookline, and Cambridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Botox® treatment last?
Most patients see results lasting 3–4 months. Treatment frequency, metabolism, and dosage affect longevity. Patients on a consistent schedule often find that results gradually extend over time.
Does Botox® hurt?
Botox® injections are performed with a very fine-gauge needle and are well-tolerated by most patients. Topical numbing is available on request. Mild bruising occasionally occurs at injection sites.
What is preventative Botox®?
Preventative Botox® refers to beginning treatment before expression lines become static (present at rest). Starting in your late 20s or 30s reduces the cumulative deepening of expression lines. GFaceMD providers discuss the right timing at consultation.
Is Botox® the same as filler?
No. Botox® relaxes muscles that produce expression lines. Filler adds volume and fills static lines. They are complementary treatments; many patients benefit from both in the same appointment.
