Your forehead relaxes. Those lines between your brows soften. Crow’s feet around your eyes fade enough that you stop noticing them in every photo.
If you’re getting masseter Botox for your jaw, the clenching eases first—usually within a week or two. Then over the next month or so, your lower face starts to look slimmer and more balanced. Not drastically different. Just more defined.
You’re not frozen. You’re not expressionless. You still look like yourself when you smile or laugh. The difference is that your face isn’t working against you anymore. The tension’s gone. The deep creases stay smooth. And for three to six months, depending on how your body processes it, you get a break from watching those lines get worse.
We’ve been treating patients across Queens, Long Island, and the surrounding areas since 2009. Our practice is led by Jennifer DiLandro, an Adult Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of injection experience and recognition as an Allergan Top 250 Injector in the United States.
She’s not new to this. She’s injected thousands of patients. She holds Expert Level V certification and has been named a Merz Aesthetics Black Diamond Top Injector. Our medical team includes board-certified physician Dr. Sophia Lubin, who oversees treatments and provides medical Botox for conditions like chronic migraines and hyperhidrosis.
For patients in Meadowmere and the nearby Five Towns area, we offer accessible expertise without the Manhattan markup. We use only FDA-approved products. Consultations are free. And our focus stays on results that actually fit your face—not whatever trend is being pushed that month.
You’ll start with a consultation where we evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and map out exactly where you need treatment. If you’re worried about pain, we can apply a topical numbing cream or ice first.
The actual injections take about 10 to 30 minutes depending on how many areas you’re treating. For wrinkle reduction, we inject small amounts of Botox into specific facial muscles—your forehead, between your brows, around your eyes, wherever those dynamic lines show up when you move your face. For masseter Botox, the injections go into the large chewing muscles along your jawline. Most people need 40 to 60 units total for jaw slimming, split evenly between both sides.
The needle is very fine. You’ll feel a small pinch, maybe some pressure, but it’s quick. Once it’s done, you’re free to go. No bandages. No downtime. You can go back to work, run errands, pick up your kids—whatever’s next on your schedule. Just avoid rubbing the treated areas, skip the gym for 24 hours, and stay upright for a few hours so the Botox stays where it was placed.
Results start showing up within a few days to two weeks. For masseter treatments, the slimming effect becomes more visible around six to eight weeks as the muscle gradually relaxes and shrinks.

Botox blocks the nerve signals that make your facial muscles contract. When those muscles can’t tense up as much, the skin above them stays smoother. It’s not filler—it won’t add volume or plump anything up. It just stops the movement that’s causing the wrinkles in the first place.
For residents in Meadowmere and surrounding Queens neighborhoods, this means you can address the signs of aging that come from years of squinting in the sun, frowning at traffic on Rockaway Boulevard, or stressing through long commutes to Manhattan. The treatment works on dynamic wrinkles—the ones caused by repetition. Forehead lines. The vertical creases between your eyebrows. Crow’s feet. Even the fine lines around your mouth if they’re movement-related.
Masseter Botox does double duty. It relieves the functional problems—jaw clenching, teeth grinding, TMJ discomfort, tension headaches—while also slimming the lower face for a more contoured, V-shaped jawline. If you’ve developed a square or wide jaw from overactive chewing muscles, this is how you soften it without surgery.
The effects are temporary. Your body gradually metabolizes the Botox over three to six months, and then the muscles start moving again. That’s when you’d come back for a maintenance treatment if you want to keep the results going. Some people find that with regular treatments, they need less product over time because the muscles stay more relaxed.
Most people start noticing changes within three to seven days after their Botox injections, with full results visible around two weeks. Your wrinkles will look softer, and any treated areas will feel less tense.
The effects typically last three to six months. How long it lasts for you specifically depends on your metabolism, the strength of your facial muscles, and how much movement happens in the treated areas. People with very active expressions might metabolize it faster. People who get regular treatments often find their results last a bit longer over time because the muscles stay in a more relaxed state.
When the Botox starts wearing off, your wrinkles don’t suddenly come back worse than before. They just gradually return to where they were. That’s when you’d schedule your next appointment if you want to maintain the results. Most patients come in every four months or so to stay ahead of it.
It does both. Masseter Botox relaxes the large chewing muscles along your jawline, which reduces the force and frequency of clenching and grinding. That’s the immediate functional benefit—less jaw tension, fewer headaches, less wear on your teeth.
But as those muscles relax and become less active over the following weeks, they also shrink in size. That’s what creates the slimming effect. Your lower face becomes more tapered and contoured, especially if you had a square or wide jawline from overactive masseters.
The cosmetic change is gradual. You’ll notice the jaw pain improving within a week or two, but the visible slimming usually takes four to eight weeks to fully develop. It’s subtle—not a dramatic transformation—but enough that your face looks more balanced. Some people don’t even realize how much tension they were holding in their jaw until it’s gone.
Not if it’s done right. The frozen look happens when too much Botox is used, or when it’s placed incorrectly, or when someone’s trying to erase every single line on your face. That’s not the goal here.
A skilled injector knows how to relax the muscles that are causing your wrinkles without completely paralyzing them. You’ll still be able to raise your eyebrows, smile, frown—all your normal expressions. They’ll just be smoother. The lines won’t crease as deeply. Your face won’t look like it’s working overtime.
The key is working with someone who understands facial anatomy and has enough experience to know where to inject, how much to use, and when to stop. We customize treatments based on your muscle strength, your aesthetic goals, and how your face naturally moves. The aim is always to make you look refreshed and rested—not overdone.
Botox is FDA-approved and has been used cosmetically for decades with a strong safety profile when administered by trained medical professionals. Serious complications are extremely rare.
The most common side effects are minor and temporary: slight redness at the injection sites, mild bruising, or a small bump that goes away within an hour or two. Some people get a mild headache the day of treatment. If you’re prone to bruising, avoiding alcohol and blood-thinning supplements like ibuprofen or fish oil for 24 hours before your appointment can help.
In rare cases, if Botox migrates slightly from the injection site, you might experience temporary eyelid drooping or asymmetry. This is why precise placement matters. It’s also why you shouldn’t rub or massage the treated areas right after your appointment, and why you’re told to stay upright for a few hours.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women shouldn’t get Botox. Neither should people with certain neuromuscular conditions like myasthenia gravis. During your consultation, we’ll go over your medical history to make sure Botox is appropriate for you.
Botox is typically priced per unit, and the total cost depends on how many areas you’re treating and how strong your muscles are. For wrinkle reduction, common treatment areas require anywhere from 20 to 60 units total. Forehead lines might need 10 to 20 units. Crow’s feet usually take 10 to 15 units per side. The “11” lines between your brows often need 15 to 25 units.
Masseter Botox for jaw slimming generally requires more—around 40 to 60 units total (20 to 30 per side) because the masseter muscles are some of the strongest in your body. Pricing for masseter treatments typically ranges from $400 to $900 per session depending on the provider and location.
During your free consultation with us, we’ll assess your specific needs and give you an accurate estimate based on your goals. Some people need less product. Some need more. It’s not one-size-fits-all, and any provider who quotes you a price without seeing your face first is guessing.
Yes, to an extent. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—the lines that form from repeated facial movements like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. When those muscles aren’t contracting as forcefully or as often, the skin above them doesn’t crease as much. Over time, that means fewer deep-set lines.
Some younger patients in their late 20s or early 30s start using Botox preventively for this reason. They’re not treating existing wrinkles—they’re trying to slow down the formation of new ones. It’s sometimes called “baby Botox” or preventive Botox, and it involves using smaller amounts of product to keep the muscles relaxed without fully freezing them.
That said, Botox isn’t going to stop aging altogether. Wrinkles also form from sun damage, loss of collagen, genetics, and other factors that Botox doesn’t address. But if you’re someone who’s genetically prone to deep forehead lines or you’ve noticed early creases starting to stick around even when your face is at rest, starting Botox earlier can help keep those lines from getting worse. It’s about managing what you can control.
