BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic is a non-surgical injectable procedure that can temporarily relax the muscles responsible for expression lines on the face, for a quick and effective solution to some of the most common signs of early facial aging.
Say Goodbye to Lines and Wrinkles
BOTOX injections may be used to eliminate frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and lipstick lines, in addition to returning the corners of the mouth to an upturned position, for a more youthful-looking upper lip, and eliminating an “orange-peel” appearance of the chin. This quick, virtually painless injection has been the most popular cosmetic procedure performed in the United States for the past three years, and Dr. Vitenas is an expert injector with an impressive degree of experience. Our goal at Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery is to soften the look of the face, making it prettier but not expressionless, for a natural looking solution to mild or moderate facial aging.

Each Patient is Unique and Individual Results May Vary
The Ideal BOTOX Candidate
Good candidates for BOTOX Cosmetic include individuals of all ages who are seeking a more relaxed and refreshed look through non-surgical means. Many of our more active patients love BOTOX for its ability to create impressive results without requiring any extensive downtime or significant recovery period. BOTOX Cosmetic is also good for younger individuals who are looking to preserve their youthful appearance.
When you visit Dr. Vitenas for your consultation, he’ll guide you through the various surgical and non-surgical procedures we offer, helping you pick out the choice that’s right for you and your personal cosmetic goals.
What’s the BOTOX Procedure Like?
The BOTOX Cosmetic injection is an in-office procedure that takes less than thirty minutes to complete. In most cases, only local anesthesia is necessary, especially when Dr. Vitenas treats the area around the mouth where sensitivity is greater.
We use only the tiniest needles available to inject the product directly into the muscles responsible for expression lines. We’ll ensure that you’re comfortable, and most of our patients report feeling little more than a slight pinching sensation during their treatment.
LIMITED DOWNTIME. AMAZING RESULTS
There is little to no downtime associated with a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment. While there is a small possibility of bruising and/ or redness patients are typically able to go back to work and resume their normal activities right after their session is complete.
The results of your BOTOX Cosmetic treatment can be seen within about five to seven days after the injection, although you will not see the full result until about two weeks after your treatment. The results of BOTOX Cosmetic last an average of three to four months.
Procedure FAQ
We price our BOTO Cosmetic by the unit injected, in an effort to ensure that our pricing best matches your desired results. We charge $14.00 per unit of BOTOX Cosmetic. The amount and placement of the product will be something to discuss with Dr. Viteans at the time of your consultation.
On average, BOTOX Cosmetic treatments range between $150 and $600. As BOTOX Cosmetic is a product that can be used in a number of different locations to achieve different results, it is difficult to provide a specific quote before Dr. Vitenas actually meets with you during your consultation.
We are also a leading participant in the Allē℠ Aesthetics Rewards Program, a rewards program created by the manufacturer of BOTOX Cosmetic. Each time you come in for a treatment, you will receive valuable Allē℠ Rewards points, which can reduce the price of your future treatments.
