Smooth & Refresh
Meticulously tailored injections in Lindenhurst, NY to soften lines and restore a youthful vibrancy.
Botox is an FDA approved neuromodulator used to temporarily relax the muscles that cause expression lines such as forehead creases, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet. We also offer Xeomin, a closely related option. At Balanced Essence Medical Wellness, every treatment is planned around your own facial anatomy and movement patterns so you look rested rather than frozen, and it is performed by our licensed medical team under the direction of Medical Director Dr. Michael Lau, MD.

Botox is a good fit for adults bothered by lines that appear when they make expressions, such as frowning, squinting, or raising their brows. It can also soften lines that have started to stay visible at rest. It does not add volume or lift sagging skin, so if those are your main concerns we will talk through other options at your consultation.
We start by watching your face move. Before anything is drawn up, we ask you to raise your brows, frown, and smile so we can map which muscles are actually driving each line and how strongly they pull. That assessment decides your dosing rather than a one-size template.
From there we use conservative, well-spaced micro-dosing across the treatment area instead of a few heavy placements. It keeps the brow lifted rather than heavy, preserves the expression that makes your face yours, and avoids the flat forehead look people worry about. Ultra-fine needles and careful depth control keep discomfort and bruising minimal, and no numbing is usually needed.
Commonly treated areas include the forehead, glabella (the frown lines between the brows), crow's feet, bunny lines on the bridge of the nose, a gummy smile, chin dimpling, lip flip, and jaw slimming or TMJ-related clenching in the masseter muscles. Botox also treats excessive underarm sweating.
Your appointment begins with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and photograph your baseline so progress is measurable visit to visit. Treatment itself takes about 10 to 15 minutes with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Most clients see softening within 3 to 7 days, with full effect at about two weeks lasting roughly 3 to 4 months. We schedule a two-week follow-up so any area can be refined at no extra charge, and we plan your next visit before the muscle fully returns.
Aftercare is simple: stay upright for four hours, skip vigorous exercise, saunas, and facials for 24 hours, and avoid rubbing the treated area. Many clients pair Botox with microchanneling to address texture and tone alongside movement lines.
Common side effects are mild and short lived, such as redness, small bumps, tenderness, or bruising at injection points. Less commonly, a temporary heavy brow or eyelid can occur. Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an active skin infection in the area, with certain neuromuscular conditions, or with an allergy to any ingredient. Please tell us about blood thinners and supplements, which can increase bruising.

BOTOX and XEOMIN
Botox and Xeomin are priced per unit. Your total depends on the number of units and areas recommended at your consultation.
Botox and Xeomin are priced per unit: $14 per unit at our regular price, with member rates starting at $9 per unit. Your total depends on how many units and areas are recommended after your consultation, so we confirm the number before treatment begins.
It depends on the area, the strength of your muscles, and the result you want. As a general reference, the FDA approved dose for frown lines is 20 units, and for crow's feet it is 24 units across both sides. Many people need a different amount, and your injector recommends a number after watching your face move.
The injections themselves usually take about 10 to 15 minutes. Plan for a longer first visit, since it includes your consultation and baseline photos.
Most people begin to notice softening within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect at about two weeks.
Results typically last about 3 to 4 months. This varies from person to person and by area treated.
Not when it is dosed for your face. We use conservative, well spaced placements mapped to how your muscles move, aiming to soften lines while keeping natural expression. If you want more softening, it can be added at your two week check.
Both are FDA approved botulinum toxin type A products used to relax the muscles behind expression lines, and both are $14 per unit at our office. Xeomin is formulated without the accessory proteins found in Botox. Your provider can explain which one fits your history and goals.
No. You can return to normal activities right away. We ask that you stay upright for four hours and skip vigorous exercise, saunas, and facials for 24 hours.
Most people describe a quick pinch. Ultra fine needles are used and numbing is usually not needed. Small bumps at injection points typically settle within an hour, and minor bruising is possible.
Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an infection at the injection site, with certain neuromuscular conditions, or with an allergy to any ingredient. Your provider reviews your health history and current medications before treatment.
Injections are performed by our licensed medical team under the direction of Medical Director Dr. Michael Lau, MD.
