BOTOX® & Other Neuromodulators

New York, NY

Introduction to BOTOX®

BOTOX® and other neuromodulators target fine lines and wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses and temporarily paralyzing fine muscles that manifest the appearance of wrinkles. This temporary muscle paralysis can create the visual impact of a reduction in fine lines and, thereby, showcase a refreshed and youthful appearance. With modern technology and research, BOTOX® is now used for aesthetic goals, relief from migraine headaches, excessive perspiration, and even calf reduction. It is a preferred choice of treatment for many as it has a low recovery time, is temporary and is non-invasive. While many spas and practices delegate BOTOX® injections, Dr. Michelle Copeland and Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin personally treat patients with BOTOX® in New York City, so you can be confident you are receiving the highest quality, concierge-style care.
