Fine lines and expression wrinkles—like forehead lines or crow’s feet—can appear earlier than expected, making you look more tired, stressed, or older than you feel. Whether it’s a subtle furrow between your brows or lines around your eyes, these signs of aging can affect your confidence, even if your skincare routine is on point.

Botox offers a refined, effective solution to soften dynamic wrinkles and refresh your appearance—without surgery. With expert injection technique and a nuanced understanding of facial anatomy, Dr. Chris Surek uses Botox to create natural-looking results that help you look more rested, expressive, and confident.

How Botox Works

Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A—a neuromodulator that works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. Many wrinkles, such as frown lines or crow’s feet, form from repetitive movements like squinting, frowning, or raising your eyebrows. Botox gently reduces the muscle activity behind these dynamic wrinkles, softening their appearance while preserving your natural facial expressions.

The result: a smoother, more youthful look that still feels like you.

What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment

Your experience begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Surek. He’ll evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and map out a treatment plan to achieve subtle, natural-looking results. Whether you’re new to Botox or looking to maintain your refreshed appearance, every injection is tailored to you.

The treatment itself involves a series of tiny injections using a very fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as a light pinch. There’s minimal discomfort and no need for anesthesia.

After treatment, you can return to your normal day immediately—many patients come in on their lunch break. You may notice small red bumps or minor swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolve within an hour or two. Full results develop gradually, with visible smoothing within 3–7 days and peak results around two weeks.

Treatment Enhancements

Botox is a versatile treatment and pairs beautifully with other non-surgical procedures to enhance facial harmony:

• Dermal Fillers – Restore volume to the cheeks, lips, and under-eyes for a balanced, youthful contour
• Chemical Peels – Brighten and resurface the skin to complement your wrinkle treatment
• Microneedling with PRP – Improve skin tone and texture for an overall rejuvenated appearance
• Medical-Grade Skincare – Maintain your results and support healthy, resilient skin at home

Dr. Surek can guide you through a custom combination plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Is Botox Right for You?

Botox is ideal if you’re looking to:

• Soften lines around your eyes, brow, or forehead
• Prevent early signs of aging
• Refresh your look before a big event
• Maintain a youthful appearance without surgery

It’s suitable for adults of all skin types and genders. There’s little to no downtime, and treatments can be repeated every 3–4 months to maintain your results. Dr. Surek takes a conservative, precision-based approach to ensure you look like a naturally refreshed version of yourself.

Botox vs. Alternatives

Botox isn’t the only wrinkle-relaxing injectable on the market—Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® are similar formulations. While they share the same active ingredient, their onset, diffusion, and dosing can vary slightly.

Dr. Surek most often recommends Botox for its consistent results and established safety profile, but he’ll tailor your treatment based on your goals, anatomy, and previous experience with neuromodulators.
