Cosmetic Procedures in Albany and Glens Falls, NY
Botox® injections are a proven solution for reducing dynamic facial wrinkles and achieving a more youthful appearance. The Artistry of Face’s team of highly experienced medspa injectors provides Botox® in Albany and Glens Falls, helping clients restore confidence through natural-looking results.
What Is Botox®?
Botox® is a neurotoxin injectable that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles through repeated movements. When injected into targeted areas, Botox® prevents these muscles from contracting, allowing existing lines to soften and preventing new wrinkles from forming.
Areas of treatment:
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet (lines at the outer corners of eyes)
- Glabellar lines (frown lines or “11’s”)
- Neck cords (vertical lines in the neck)
- Vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines)
- Down-turned mouth
- Gummy smile
Good Candidates for Botox®
Ideal Botox® clients are adults from Albany, Glens Falls, Queensbury, Saratoga Springs, and throughout the Capital Region looking to correct one or more of the visible signs of aging mentioned above. They should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.
Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions may not be suitable candidates for Botox®. Those with allergies to botulinum toxin (the formula’s primary ingredient) must also consider alternative treatments.
The Procedure
The Botox® procedure is performed at our medspas in Albany and Glens Falls and requires no anesthesia, though a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. Using a fine needle, one of our skilled injectors will carefully administer small amounts of the Botox® solution into predetermined facial muscles. The entire process takes about 15 minutes, making it an ideal lunchtime procedure.
After Your Session
Recovery from Botox® injections is minimal, with little to no downtime necessary. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for the first 24 hours. Results begin appearing within a few days, with optimal outcomes visible 10-14 days post-injection. The effects typically last three to four months, at which point clients can schedule follow-up treatments to maintain their results.

Botox® FAQs
Why are the results temporary?
The body naturally metabolizes the botulinum toxin over time, gradually restoring normal muscle function. As the neurotoxin breaks down, typically over 3-4 months, the targeted muscles regain their ability to contract and wrinkles begin to reappear without further treatment.
What’s the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers?
Botox® works by relaxing muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, while dermal fillers add volume to plump up static wrinkles and restore lost facial volume. Botox® is best for expression lines like crow's feet and frown lines, whereas fillers are ideal for adding fullness to the lips, cheeks, and deeper creases.
