In Wellesley, polished doesn’t mean predictable. People here know the value of looking put-together, but that doesn’t have to translate to a frozen forehead or an overworked brow. At Newton Medical Aesthetics, Botox is a quiet art form—tailored, strategic, and designed to let your expressions breathe. Lines soften, your skin looks less stressed, and the character of your face stays intact. We work in a private, relaxed space just minutes from the center of town, so the experience feels as effortless as the results.
Botox is an FDA-approved neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin type A. That sounds clinical, but in skilled hands it’s simply a way to calm the muscles that etch lines into your skin over time. We use it sparingly and place it deliberately—no “blast it everywhere” approach here. The goal isn’t erasing movement. It’s smoothing the canvas so your expressions read as vibrant, not tired.
The payoff works on two levels. In the short term, you’ll see a softer look—forehead creases, crow’s feet, and frown lines take a back seat. Over time, the treatment helps slow new lines from forming, since the muscles behind them aren’t working overtime.
It’s not just about the big three wrinkle zones either. Botox can lift a slightly heavy brow, relax a tense chin, or blur the vertical lip lines that catch your lipstick. Done right, it doesn’t change your face—it just takes away the distractions.
There’s no “perfect age” to start. Some patients begin in their late twenties to keep lines from digging in. Others wait until their 40s or 50s for a refresh. Good candidates share a few things in common: overall good health, realistic expectations, and a preference for results without surgery or downtime.
Botox isn’t suitable for everyone—those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or dealing with certain muscle or nerve conditions should wait. A consult is where we sort through the details and make sure it’s the right fit.
We focus on dynamic wrinkles—creases from years of smiling, frowning, or squinting. Forehead lines, the “11s” between your brows, and crow’s feet are the classics. But it’s also useful for lifting the mouth corners, easing bunny lines on the nose, or smoothing a pebbled chin.
Outside the cosmetic realm, Botox can tame excess sweating, refine the jawline by relaxing bulky masseter muscles, and even ease discomfort linked to TMJ. That range is why it’s one of the most requested injectables we offer.
Every treatment starts with a conversation. We look at how your face moves, talk about your priorities, and map a plan that fits your features.
Prep is minimal. Skip alcohol, aspirin, and anti-inflammatories for a few days before to reduce bruising risk. Fish oil, vitamin E, and similar supplements can also wait. On the day, come in barefaced so we can get right to work.
Once you’re settled, we clean the skin and, if you prefer, apply a numbing cream. Most people skip it—the needles are fine enough that the sensation is more “tiny pinch” than “pain.”
Your provider then places small, targeted amounts into specific muscles. Ten to twenty minutes later, you’re done. Most go back to work or errands right away—it’s the definition of a lunchtime procedure.
Downtime is minimal. You might see pinpoint redness or slight swelling that fades within hours. The big rules: avoid rubbing the area, skip heavy workouts for the rest of the day, and stay upright for a few hours. Following those steps keeps the product where it belongs.
The changes start to show in about three days, with full effect around two weeks. Lines ease, skin looks smoother, and your expressions stay natural. Results last about three to four months, though that can vary based on how your body metabolizes the product.
With consistent treatments, some people find the time between sessions gradually stretches. That’s because the muscles learn to stay more relaxed over time.
Cost comes down to how many units you need and where they’re placed. At Newton Medical Aesthetics, we customize the dose to your face—not a pre-set package—so you’re paying for what actually serves your goals. During your consultation, we’ll go over the numbers and discuss whether a series or membership plan makes sense for you.
Our injectors combine medical training with a fine-tuned sense of aesthetics. We don’t overfill, overfreeze, or push treatments you don’t need. Instead, we focus on natural balance, refined results, and a level of discretion our Wellesley patients appreciate. Every appointment is private, unhurried, and tailored to you.
