Beauty is about feeling as good as you look, which is why at Hamptons Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tracy Pfeifer offers BOTOX® Cosmetic to give you a more youthful and vibrant appearance. BOTOX is more than just a solution to wrinkles — it's a step toward greater self-confidence.
What Is BOTOX Cosmetic?
BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified form of botulinum toxin, a protein that temporarily relaxes muscles. This non-surgical treatment is widely used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, BOTOX Cosmetic stops them from contracting, resulting in smoother, more refreshed skin. Many of our patients request BOTOX to treat concerns such as forehead lines, crow's feet, and the area between the eyebrows.

What to Expect from Your BOTOX Appointment
Before the Treatment
You’ll start with a consultation where Dr. Pfeifer will get to know your aesthetic goals and explain the procedure. We want you to feel informed and comfortable with your treatment plan.
During the Treatment
The BOTOX procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking no longer than 10-15 minutes. Dr. Pfeifer injects the BOTOX into your targeted muscles using a fine needle. Most patients say it feels like a light pinch but not painful.
After the Treatment
No downtime is required after a BOTOX treatment, so you can return to your regular daily activities right away. You might start to see results within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect visible in two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Side Effects of BOTOX?
BOTOX is typically safe, but it can have some side effects like any medical treatment. These typically include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. Less commonly, some patients might experience a slight headache or flu-like symptoms for a short period after the treatment. These effects are usually mild and resolve quickly on their own.
How Long Does a BOTOX Treatment Last?
BOTOX is a temporary injectable treatment that lasts about three to four months, depending on your muscle activity and metabolism. The muscle action will gradually return, and the lines and wrinkles will start reappearing.
How Often Should I Get BOTOX?
The timing for follow-up treatments varies with each patient, but we recommend getting one every three to four months. Regular treatments can help maintain the smooth, youthful appearance of the skin. Dr. Pfeifer can create a treatment schedule that meets your needs and goals.
Can BOTOX Look Natural?
Yes, BOTOX produces very natural-looking results. Dr. Pfeifer focuses on enhancing your natural features without overcorrecting. You’ll still be able to express emotions and won’t look ‘overdone.’
Is BOTOX Safe?
BOTOX is FDA-approved and has been used for cosmetic purposes for over two decades, with a strong record of safety. Always get your treatments done by a qualified medical professional like Dr. Pfeifer, who understands the intricate facial muscle structure.
Will I Feel Any Pain During the Procedure?
You should only experience minimal discomfort, but not pain. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch with immediate recovery. Dr. Pfeifer uses a very fine needle and can apply a topical anesthetic to make you even more comfortable.
