Neurotoxins such as Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are injected into specific muscles to cause temporary relaxation, which reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles and helps prevent new ones from forming.

At Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness, every neurotoxin appointment is performed by owner Shana Mazgaj, MSN, FNP-BC, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner certified in Botox and dermal fillers by the American Academy of Facial Aesthetics. The goal is natural-looking results that still look like you: rested, smoother and confident.

What Botox can treat in Buffalo, NY

Fine lines and wrinkles, including frown lines between the brows, forehead lines and crow’s feet
TMJ and orofacial pain, including jaw tension
Bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding)
Migraines and tension-type headaches
Excessive sweating
A subtle lip lift with a Botox lip flip

Botox, Xeomin or Dysport: choosing in Buffalo NY

All three are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work in a similar way. They differ slightly in formulation, and some people simply prefer how one settles for them. Shana will talk through your goals, history and any past experience with neurotoxins and recommend the best fit for you at your visit.

Before your Botox appointment in Buffalo, NY

Schedule your injections at least 2 weeks before any special event, so results have time to settle.
Avoid aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin and Aleve before treatment, because of their blood-thinning effect and increased risk of bruising.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment.
Eat and hydrate before your appointment to avoid dizziness or lightheadedness during treatment.

Questions

Botox & Neurotoxins FAQ, Buffalo NY

How long does Botox last?

For most people, results from Botox, Xeomin or Dysport last around three to four months. How long they last depends on the area treated, your muscle strength, your metabolism and how often you have been treated.

When will I see my Botox results?

You may start to notice softening within a few days. Results typically develop fully over about one to two weeks, which is why we recommend booking at least two weeks before any special event.

Does Botox hurt?

Neurotoxin injections use a very fine needle, and most people describe a quick pinch. The appointment itself takes about 30 minutes.

What should I avoid before Botox?

Avoid aspirin and NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin and Aleve, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment, to lower the risk of bruising. Eat and hydrate before your visit.

Can Botox help with TMJ, clenching or migraines?

Yes. Neurotoxins may be used for orofacial pain such as TMJ, for bruxism (clenching and grinding), and for migraines and tension-type headaches. Shana will review your symptoms and history at your visit.

Do you offer Botox at home in Buffalo, NY?

Yes. Shana offers in-home Botox visits and in-home Botox parties around Buffalo and Western New York.
