Botox® in NYC

Relaxing the small facial muscles that cause expression lines (like those in the forehead or around the eyes) allows the overlying skin to smooth out, softening existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming.

When administered into larger, overdeveloped muscles like the masseters (jaw) or trapezius (shoulders), Botox® induces atrophy, providing a slimming effect as muscle mass decreases.

By selectively relaxing muscles that pull features downward (e.g., those that lower the brows or the upper lip), the "lifting" muscles can work unopposed. This creates a subtle, natural-looking lift, as seen with Botox® brow lifts and lip flips.

Botox® is priced per unit, so the cost will reflect the specifics of your treatment plan. Factors like the size of the treatment area, severity of the concerns being addressed, and number of treatment sites will affect the overall cost. We’ll provide a detailed quote during your consultation.

Botox® discounts and exclusive savings on other med spa services like facials, microneedling, and fillers are available through our CasaGlow Memberships.

Candidates for Botox® must be in good overall health, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations for their results. A personalized consultation with one of our expert injectors is the best way to determine if Botox® is right for you.

During your consultation, we will evaluate your concerns, review your medical history, and speak with you about your desired results. From there, we can identify the optimal treatment approach for you.

We’ll assess your concerns, review your medical history, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our providers take the time to understand how your muscles move and where Botox® will be most effective to ensure optimal results. You’ll leave your consultation with a clear understanding of what to expect during your treatment, how many units are recommended, cost details, and when to return for retreatment to maintain consistent results.

We advise that you avoid alcohol consumption and blood-thinning medications for 24–48 hours prior to your appointment to minimize bruising. If possible, come with a clean face—free of makeup or skincare products.

Most Botox® appointments at our Manhattan medical spa take 15–30 minutes from start to finish. To begin, your injector will cleanse the treatment area and identify the optimal injection sites. If requested, numbing cream will be applied and allowed to sit until it takes effect.

Your provider will use an ultra-fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox® just beneath the skin into the targeted muscles. You may feel a brief pinch or slight pressure as the injections are administered, though clients typically report minimal discomfort.

Botox® requires little to no downtime. You can return to work or your daily routine right away. Minor swelling, redness, or small bumps at the injection sites are normal and usually resolve within hours.

For best results, we advise that you take the following precautions:

• Stay upright for at least four hours post-treatment.
• Avoid intense exercise and exposure to excessive heat for 24 hours.
• Abstain from facials, massages, or putting any pressure on the treated area for 48 hours.

Initial improvements often start to appear within three to five days, with full effects visible in 10–14 days.

Results typically last three to four months. With consistent maintenance, many clients find their results last longer over time.

The treatment involves tiny injections and is usually very tolerable. Most clients report feeling a quick pinch with each injection. A topical numbing agent can be applied at the start of your appointment to minimize discomfort if you prefer.

Yes. Botox® has FDA-approval and has been used safely for both medical and cosmetic purposes for decades. Side effects are rare, temporary, and typically mild. It is, however, vital that you choose a qualified medical provider, such as those at CasaGlow, to administer your injections to minimize the risk of complications or undesirable results.

At CasaGlow MedSpa, we offer a curated selection of FDA-approved neurotoxins, including Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, Daxxify®, and Xeomin® to ensure we can meet the varying needs of our diverse client base. While all of these products contain botulinum toxin type A and work by temporarily preventing muscle activity, each formulation is distinct.

During your consultation, our provider can identify the best option for you based on your anatomy, cosmetic goals, and neurotoxin treatment history.
