Botox Injections

Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to smooth dynamic facial wrinkles — forehead lines, frown lines (11s), crow's feet, and brow lifting. Sessions take approximately 10 minutes. Results last 3–6 months with an average of 4 months. Most patients pay $750 or less per session at ARC Plastic Surgery in Aventura, Miami, administered by or under the supervision of double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeremy White.

Botox at ARC Plastic Surgery Miami is administered by or under the supervision of Dr. Jeremy White, whose surgical background in both plastic surgery and facial anatomy (otolaryngology) informs a precise injection approach that balances aesthetic softening with preservation of natural facial expression and movement. Botulinum toxin type A (onabotulinumtoxinA, commercially marketed as Botox Cosmetic by Allergan) works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, temporarily preventing the muscle from contracting. When injected into the muscles responsible for dynamic facial wrinkles — the corrugator supercilii and procerus (glabellar frown lines, the '11s'), the frontalis (horizontal forehead lines), and the orbicularis oculi (crow's feet at the lateral orbital region) — the targeted muscle relaxes and the overlying skin smooths. The effect is specific to the injected muscle fibres and has no systemic spread at the doses used for cosmetic injection. Onset of effect begins within 3–5 days and reaches full effect at two weeks. Duration of action varies by individual metabolic rate, muscle mass, and injection frequency: the clinic cites a range of 3–6 months with an average of approximately 4 months. Off-label applications beyond the standard cosmetic areas include brow lifting (lateral frontalis relaxation to elevate the lateral brow), lip flip (perioral orbicularis relaxation for mild upper lip eversion), masseteric injection (jaw slimming), and treatment of hyperhidrosis (axillary excessive sweating). Most patients pay $750 or less per session for standard cosmetic areas — a competitive price point within the Aventura/Miami plastic surgery market given the level of physician supervision. Sessions are approximately 10 minutes.
