As a provider of BOTOX® in New Jersey, Dermalogic Laser Center does more than simply administer the wrinkle-relaxing injectable. The team, led by accomplished doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) Dr. Amy Krachman, focuses on each patient as an individual—and takes the entire patient into account. That means each injection is not merely a treatment to smooth crow’s feet or forehead lines, but a carefully chosen step in a plan to provide beautiful, especially natural-looking results.
How do Dr. Krachman and the team accomplish this? Read on to discover the Dermalogic difference:
The Consultation
Before starting on any treatments, patients will first sit down to a personalized and in-depth consultation. Dr. Krachman welcomes patients who know they have signs of aging they want to address, while encouraging them to be open about their cosmetic goals. As we get to know you, understand your motivation for seeking treatment, assess your skin and medical history, determine what’s causing the signs of aging we’re targeting, and answer your questions, we can develop a truly one-of-a-kind strategy. Every aspect of the process is tailored to you.
The Strategy
Dr. Krachman’s philosophy when it comes to BOTOX® is “less is best.” The initial approach will typically be conservative, so we can all be sure the results are developing as desired. After all, we can expand on the treatment to further the effects, but we can’t “take away” effects once they’ve happened. The overall strategy is to provide results that help you to look naturally refreshed.
The Session
The Dermalogic team prioritizes reducing comfort, so very thin needles and sophisticated discomfort-reducing techniques are employed. We use distraction techniques, such as a vibration tool, to decrease sensitivity, but ultimately BOTOX® is a quick and painless treatment. The injections are made with care, precision, and efficient. In total, the injection session itself can be expected to last no more than half an hour—but may be completed in as little as 15 minutes.
The Follow-Up
We advise BOTOX® patients to take oral Arnica to diminish swelling and bruising if this occurs, to not exercise after treatment, and to not lie flat for an hour post injection. Expect results to become visible in a few days and then continue to develop over a couple of weeks. Typically, maintenance sessions scheduled every few months are ideal for enjoying an ongoing smoother, more youthful look.
