Soften Frown Lines, Forehead Wrinkles and Crow’s Feet With Personalized Care Led by a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Botox can soften expression lines caused by repeated facial movement without surgery or extended recovery. At Nouveau Medispa, Laser & Hair, patients in Newark, Delaware receive cosmetic injectable care under the direction of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lawrence D. Chang.
Treatment is based on the areas that bother you and how your facial muscles move. The goal is to soften wrinkles while keeping your expressions looking natural.
What Is Botox?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment made with botulinum toxin type A. It temporarily reduces nerve signals to specific facial muscles, limiting the repetitive contractions that create dynamic wrinkles.
Unlike facial fillers, Botox does not add volume beneath the skin. It works by relaxing targeted muscles so the skin above them appears smoother.
What Areas Can Botox Treat?
Botox is commonly used for wrinkles that become more noticeable when you smile, frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows. Your provider evaluates your facial movement before recommending where injections should be placed.
Common treatment areas include:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows, often called “11 lines”
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the outer corners of the eyes
- Select lines around the chin and lower face
- Brow positioning in appropriate patients
The amount of Botox needed varies based on the treatment area, muscle strength, and your goals.
Am I a Good Candidate for Botox?
Botox may be appropriate for healthy adults who want to soften expression lines without surgery. A consultation allows your provider to determine whether your concerns are caused by muscle movement and whether Botox is the right treatment.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have visible frown lines, forehead lines, or crow’s feet
- Want a quick, non-surgical treatment
- Prefer subtle improvement rather than a dramatic change
- Have realistic expectations about temporary results
- Are in good general health
Tell your provider about your medical history, medications, allergies, and previous injectable treatments. You should also discuss pregnancy, breastfeeding, neuromuscular conditions, or an active infection near the planned injection sites before treatment.
What to Expect During Botox Treatment
Your appointment begins with an evaluation of your facial movement. Your provider may ask you to frown, smile, squint, or raise your eyebrows to identify the muscles contributing to your wrinkles.
Botox is then injected into selected muscles using a very fine needle. The number of injections depends on the areas being treated and your individual anatomy.
Appointments are typically brief, often taking about 15 to 30 minutes. Most patients describe the injections as a quick pinch and do not require anesthesia.
Botox Recovery and Results
There is little interruption to your normal routine after Botox. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising can occur around the injection sites, but these effects are generally mild.
You may begin noticing improvement within several days. Results continue to develop for up to about two weeks as the treated muscles relax.
Botox results usually last about three to five months. Muscle activity gradually returns over time, and repeat treatments can help maintain your results.

Benefits of Botox

- Quick in-office treatment
- No surgical incisions
- Minimal recovery
- Results that develop gradually
- Treatment that can be adjusted as your needs change
Your provider will explain what Botox can realistically improve and whether another treatment would be more appropriate for concerns that are not caused by muscle movement.
How Much Does Botox Cost in Newark, DE?
