More than 11 million women and men have chosen Botox for real results without surgery or downtime. At the Glavas Center, serving Boston and Beverly, MA, and New York City, we provide Botox as a non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment to smooth lines from crow’s feet to frown lines. Botox continues to deliver proven wrinkle reduction with natural-looking outcomes.
WHAT IS BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic, an FDA-approved prescription medicine, is a purified protein that temporarily improves the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows. It is also used to enhance the appearance of the lines around the eyelids (laugh lines or “crow’s feet”), smooth the forehead lines, and the lines of the lips (smoker’s lines) and neck bands.
Dr. Glavas uses Botox Cosmetic for patients in Boston to adjust the position of the brows and give you results similar to those of a “brow lift.”
How Does Botox Cosmetic Work?
Whenever you frown, smile, or squint, your facial muscles contract, which causes the skin that lies on top of these muscles to fold and form wrinkles. Over time, these wrinkles will become more prominent.
Botox Cosmetic is a neuromodulator that blocks nerve impulses to the injected muscles. It reduces muscle activity that causes persistent lines to form from the constant animation of the facial muscles.
IS BOTOX® Cosmetic SAFE?
Approximately 11.8 million Botox Cosmetic procedures have been safely administered in the United States since 2002. Dr. Glavas performs the Botox cosmetic treatments in Boston himself.
In 2007, Dr. Glavas was featured as one of the best doctors for Botox Cosmetic at the “Lose Your 11” event organized by Allergan (the company that makes Botox Cosmetic) at the Boston Harbor Hotel in Boston.
Areas of Treatment
Botox and injectable fillers can be used in several facial zones, including:
- Forehead lines
- Glabella (frown lines between brows)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Lips (smoker’s lines and subtle augmentation)
- Neck bands
- Brow lift effects
Am I a Candidate?

- Have moderate to severe wrinkles in common treatment areas
- Are in good overall health
- Hold realistic expectations of results
Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or for individuals with certain neuromuscular conditions
Testimonials
“Dr Glavas is absolutely the best Dr I have ever been to for facial injections and Botox.”
How Is Botox Cosmetic Administered?
The first step is to come in for your Botox consultation in Boston. Our team of aesthetic experts will ask you about the specific issues you want to address and examine your face so that they can create a personalized treatment plan. They can also answer any questions about your Botox treatment and other cosmetic procedures and services we offer.
It takes only a few minutes to get a Botox Cosmetic treatment. The first step will be cleansing your face. While the Botox injection process is not painful, a topical anesthetic can be applied for increased comfort. Several injections will be made around the areas you want treated.
After Your Botox Cosmetic Treatment
There is no downtime; you can continue your planned activities without interruption. This is an actual lunchtime procedure. There may be a small amount of swelling and redness around the areas where the injections were made, but these issues will subside quickly.
The effect lasts about four months or longer if combined with other minimally invasive procedures. Routine treatments can be performed to maintain your Botox results.
Benefits of Botox Treatment
Botox offers more than just wrinkle reduction. By temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles, it smooths lines across the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, giving you a refreshed, well-rested look.
Our patients also appreciate that results begin to show within just a few days, with improvements continuing over the following week.
Another benefit of Botox is its flexibility. Treatments are quick, require no downtime, and can be customized to address your unique facial concerns. Regular maintenance allows you to enjoy results that last three to four months and extend the benefits over time.
FINANCING YOUR PROCEDURE
The exact cost of your Botox treatment in Boston will be discussed during your consultation. Cosmetic surgery is an excellent investment in an individual’s well being. Because of this, we believe financial considerations should not be an obstacle to your procedure. At the office we accept all methods of payment as well as financing by CareCredit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Botox results last?
Most patients notice smoother skin for three to four months before another session is recommended. With consistent treatments, results can often be maintained over time without interruption.
Is Botox safe?
When administered by an experienced specialist like Dr. Glavas, Botox is considered safe. Side effects, if they occur, are generally mild and temporary, such as slight redness or tenderness at the injection site.
Can Botox be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine Botox with injectable fillers or eyelid procedures to address both lines and volume loss for a more complete outcome. This approach allows treatment of multiple concerns during the same visit.
How soon will I see results?
Most people begin to see improvements within three to seven days. Results continue to refine over the first two weeks, giving a smoother, natural look.
How can I make Botox results last longer?
While Botox naturally wears off after a few months, certain habits may help extend its effects. Maintaining a healthy skincare regimen, limiting sun exposure, and scheduling follow-up treatments on time can all support longer-lasting results.
