You stop catching yourself in the mirror wondering when those frown lines got so deep. The forehead creases that made you look exhausted even after a full night’s sleep start to smooth out within a week or two. Crow’s feet soften, and suddenly you’re not avoiding photos anymore.
Botox injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—the ones that form when you squint, frown, or raise your eyebrows. Less muscle movement means smoother skin. It’s not about erasing your expressions. It’s about looking like yourself, just more rested.
Results last around three to six months depending on the area treated and how your body metabolizes the product. Most people in Meadowmere Park and across Long Island come back a few times a year to maintain the effect. No downtime, no recovery, just a quick appointment and you’re back to your day.
Dolce Aesthetics NY has been serving Queens, Long Island, Brooklyn, and Manhattan for over 15 years. Our team knows the difference between good work and work that just looks good in a brochure. Every treatment plan is supervised by doctors and nurse practitioners who are licensed to handle anything that comes up—not just during the appointment, but after.
Dr. Sophie, a New York native trained at NYIT and Mount Sinai–Beth Israel, leads our medical team. Licensed estheticians and certified laser technicians handle the technical side with the kind of precision that comes from doing thousands of treatments. Meadowmere Park residents don’t have to travel far for this level of care. Our Glendale location is minutes away, and the focus has always been the same: real results, fair pricing, no pressure.
You’ll start with a consultation where the provider asks what’s bothering you and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll look at your facial structure, watch how your muscles move when you talk or smile, and map out exactly where the injections should go. This isn’t guesswork. Placement matters.
Once you’re ready, the area gets cleaned. Some people ask for a topical numbing cream, but most don’t need it—the needles are very fine and the process is quick. The provider injects small amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. Forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines between your brows—whatever areas you discussed. The whole thing takes 15 to 30 minutes.
After that, you’re done. No bandages, no ice packs, no sitting in a waiting room. You might see slight redness or a tiny bump at the injection site, but it fades fast. You’ll be told to avoid rubbing the area and to stay upright for a few hours so the Botox stays where it was placed. Results start showing up in about a week, with full effects visible around two weeks. If you’re getting masseter Botox for jaw slimming or TMJ relief, expect the changes to develop more gradually over six to twelve weeks as the muscle relaxes and reduces in size.

We use FDA-approved Botox, the same product used in med spas and dermatology offices across the country. You’re not getting a knockoff or a diluted version. Pricing is transparent and based on units—typically anywhere from 20 to 60 units depending on how many areas you treat. Forehead lines usually need 10 to 20 units. Frown lines between the brows take around 20. Crow’s feet run about 10 to 20 per side. Masseter Botox for jaw slimming or teeth grinding relief requires more—usually 40 to 60 units total because those muscles are stronger.
In the Long Island and Queens area, Botox generally costs between $12 and $25 per unit depending on the provider and location. We keep pricing competitive without cutting corners on quality or safety. You’ll know the cost before anything gets injected, and there’s no upselling mid-appointment.
Beyond standard wrinkle reduction, masseter Botox has become one of the most requested treatments at Dolce. It’s popular in Meadowmere Park and surrounding communities for two reasons: it slims a square or wide jawline by relaxing the masseter muscle, and it helps with TMJ pain or chronic teeth grinding. If you wake up with a sore jaw or your dentist has mentioned wear on your molars, this might be worth discussing. The treatment doesn’t just change how your face looks—it can genuinely reduce discomfort and protect your teeth from further damage.
Botox typically lasts three to six months depending on the treatment area, how many units were used, and how your body breaks down the product. Stronger muscles tend to metabolize Botox faster, so areas like the masseter might wear off sooner than the forehead. Most people notice the effects starting to fade gradually, not all at once.
You don’t have to wait until everything wears off completely to schedule your next appointment. A lot of patients in Meadowmere Park come back every four months or so to keep results consistent. If you’re using Botox preventatively—meaning you’re treating lines before they become deep-set wrinkles—regular maintenance can actually help you use fewer units over time because the muscles stay relaxed and don’t create as much repetitive creasing.
There’s no rule that says you have to keep getting Botox forever. If you stop, your wrinkles will gradually return to where they were before treatment. You won’t look worse than you did originally—your face just goes back to its natural state.
Most people describe the sensation as a quick pinch or pressure, not sharp pain. The needles used for Botox are extremely fine, much thinner than the ones used for blood draws or vaccines. The entire injection process usually takes less than ten minutes, and each individual injection is over in a second or two.
If you’re nervous about discomfort, we can apply a topical numbing cream about 15 minutes before the treatment. Some people also ask for ice to numb the area. Neither is usually necessary, but the option is there if it makes you more comfortable.
As for downtime, there isn’t any in the traditional sense. You can go back to work, run errands, or head to the gym right after your appointment. The only restrictions are minor: avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for the rest of the day, don’t lie down flat for about four hours after the injections, and skip intense workouts for 24 hours. These precautions just help keep the Botox in the right spot. You might have slight redness or small bumps at the injection sites, but they fade within an hour or two. Bruising is possible but not common, and it’s easy to cover with makeup if needed.
Masseter Botox targets the masseter muscle, which is the large chewing muscle that runs along your jawline from your cheekbone down to your lower jaw. When this muscle is overactive or enlarged—often from clenching, grinding your teeth, or just genetics—it can create a square or wide appearance in the lower face. Injecting Botox into the masseter relaxes the muscle, and over time the muscle shrinks slightly because it’s not working as hard. This creates a slimmer, more contoured jawline.
The treatment is also used for functional reasons. If you grind your teeth at night (bruxism) or deal with TMJ pain, masseter Botox can reduce the tension and discomfort. A lot of people don’t realize how much strain they’re putting on their jaw until the muscle finally relaxes. The relief can be significant—less morning headaches, less soreness, and less wear on your teeth.
Masseter Botox uses more units than typical wrinkle treatments because the masseter is one of the strongest muscles in your face. You’ll usually need 20 to 30 units per side, so 40 to 60 units total. Results take longer to show up compared to forehead or crow’s feet Botox. You might start feeling the muscle relax within two weeks, but the visible jaw slimming effect peaks around six to twelve weeks as the muscle gradually reduces in size. Results last about four to six months, similar to other Botox treatments.
Botox is priced per unit, not per injection or per area, though some providers bundle areas together for a flat rate. In the Meadowmere Park and Long Island area, expect to pay between $12 and $25 per unit depending on the provider’s experience, the location of the clinic, and the complexity of the treatment. We offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality or safety.
The total cost of your treatment depends on how many units you need. Treating one area—like just the frown lines between your brows—might require 20 units, which would run around $240 to $500 depending on the per-unit rate. If you’re treating multiple areas, like the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet, you could need 40 to 60 units total. Masseter Botox typically requires 40 to 60 units because the muscle is larger and stronger.
Before your treatment starts, we’ll tell you exactly how many units we recommend and what the total cost will be. There’s no guessing, and there shouldn’t be any surprise charges. If a price sounds too good to be true—like significantly cheaper than other reputable providers—it’s worth asking questions. Diluted Botox, unlicensed injectors, or counterfeit products do exist, and the risk isn’t worth the savings.
Only if it’s done incorrectly or if you ask for that effect. Botox doesn’t automatically freeze your face—it relaxes specific muscles based on where it’s injected and how much is used. A skilled injector knows how to soften lines while preserving natural movement and expression. The goal is to make you look refreshed and rested, not blank or overdone.
The “frozen” look happens when too much Botox is injected, when it’s placed in the wrong spots, or when someone requests an extremely smooth, motionless result. Our approach is different. We’ll ask what bothers you, assess how your facial muscles move, and customize the treatment to fit your face. If you still want to raise your eyebrows or show emotion, that’s completely doable. You’re in control of how subtle or noticeable you want the results to be.
It’s also worth knowing that Botox is temporary. If you don’t like the result for any reason, it will wear off in three to six months. But when it’s done right by someone who understands facial anatomy and listens to what you actually want, most people are happy with how natural it looks. You just look like a better-rested version of yourself.
Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and is one of the most studied aesthetic treatments available. When administered by a licensed, trained professional, it’s considered very safe. Millions of treatments are performed every year in the U.S. alone, and serious complications are rare.
Common side effects are mild and temporary. You might have slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these usually fade within a few hours to a couple of days. Some people get a mild headache after treatment. In rare cases, if Botox migrates slightly from the injection site, it can cause temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow, but this resolves on its own as the Botox wears off.
The key to safety is choosing a qualified provider. At Dolce Aesthetics NY, all treatment plans are supervised by doctors and nurse practitioners who are licensed to treat patients if any issues arise. Our injectors are experienced and trained in proper technique, placement, and dosing. You’ll also be asked about your medical history during your consultation to make sure Botox is appropriate for you. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions shouldn’t get Botox, and we screen for these factors before moving forward.
