Frequently Asked Questions
What are wrinkle relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers, or neuromodulators, are an injectable option for patients seeking to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in New Jersey & New York. Wrinkle relaxers, like Botox, work by targeting the underlying muscles responsible for facial expressions. By injecting specific areas, such as the “11’s” between the eyebrows, the muscles are temporarily relaxed, resulting in a smoother appearance of the skin with significantly less wrinkling. There are also quite a few other applications we can use wrinkle relaxers to help create a smooth, lifted appearance. We offer Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, & Daxxify.
Who Is A botox Candidate?
Anyone who is beginning to see static wrinkles (wrinkles that are present even without movement) is a candidate for Botox and similar wrinkle relaxers. A consultation is a great way to find out if what is bothering you can be treated with wrinkle relaxers or if we need to use other state of the art modalities to treat your concerns. Regardless of your aesthetic concerns, we have you covered at Amari Aesthetics!
What Can Botox Help With?
Fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead, between the brows (11’s), around the eyes (crow’s feet), around the mouth and on the nose (bunny lines). It can also help patients with sagging in the jawline and neck, prominent neck bands, tight jaw and clenching/grinding, lots of gum show when smiling, dimpling chin, drooping nose tip when smiling, nasal flaring, excessive sweating anywhere on the body, and large pores and excessive oil production, to name a few.

ISSUES WE CAN CORRECT WITH BOTOX
New Jersey & New York best botox injector
ELEVEN LINES
Botox placed very strategically in between the brows can create lift in the medial brow and smooth and prevent “11” lines.
ASYMMETRICAL EYES
Botox can correct asymmetrical upper and lower lids. With a few drops of botox in strategic areas, we can address natural lid ptosis.
DOWNTURNED LIPS
DAO botox is a quick procedure where we place a few drops of botox in the lateral chin to help lift the corners of the lips and give a gentler appearance to the whole face.
JOWLS/SAGGING JAWLINE
The botox neck lift aka nefertiti neck lift is a specialized technique where we can lift the neck and even mid face by placed botox along the jawline and neck. It’s a quick, painless trick to help lift + rejuvenate the entire neck area.
TMJ PAIN/CLENCHING
We utilize a technique that addresses the masseter muscles and/or the temporalis muscles to help reduce clenching and clenching/grinding related migraines with just botox. This can help slim the lower face while providing relief or bruxism and the sequelae of masseter overuse.
FOREHEAD LINES
We use a microdroplet technique to smooth lines on the forehead while focusing along the hairline to lift the brows and prevent heaviness post botox treatment.
LINES AROUND THE EYES
Treating the crow’s feet with botox can be tricky. Inexperienced injectors can create a weird shelf look when smiling, leave soft lines under the eyes, or over treat the eye area and create lasting muscle laxity. Our experienced plastic surgery and dermatology nurse practitioner uses her unique technique to open up the eyes, smooth crepey skin, and relax wrinkles around the eyes.
FALLEN BROWS
Our brow lift technique prevents the downward pulling muscles around the eyes creating lasting lift over time. We maintain the natural shape and arch of the brows to avoid the “spocked brow” look or overly flattened brows while correcting natural asymmetry in the brows. This is especially important for male botox patients to avoid feminizing the upper face.
JELLY ROLL
This quick botox procedure can help reduce the look os jelly roll bags under the eyes. Although considered youthful in many east asian countries, some patients want to address this anatomical challenge. We utilize a restrained technique to ensure maintaining muscle tone in this area and picking only the right patients for treatment.
LIPS THAT DISAPPEAR WHEN SMILING
Botox lip flip can be done to help soften overactive lip muscle that invert the lip while smiling. This botox lip eversion can help improve the appearance of volume in the lips while maintaining the lip shape while smiling. A botox lip flip is a great entry point for lip rejuvenation for some patients when considering lip volumization.
GUMMY SMILE
Botox can be used for a gummy smile to help reduce the movement of the muscle responsible for pulling up the lip when smiling. This maintains your smile while dropping the upper lip just enough to prevent lip show.
CHIN DIMPLING AND CREASING
Chin botox can be helpful in smoothing what we call “orange peel” skin on the chin while preventing the upward pull of the chin. This also helps soften and prevent the submental crease which can give an aged appearance. This is highly recommended for most people looking to address lower face aging ad optimal, consistent treatment can reduce how much filler may be needed in the chin area.
DROPPING NOSE TIP WHILE SMILING
Botox in the nose tip/base aka “tinkerbell tox” can be used to prevent the downward movement of the nose when smiling.
EXCESSIVE NASAL FLARING + NASAL SLIMMING
Botox can be used strategically in the nose to prevent nasal flaring and to slim the nose tip. Just a few injection points is all is takes to hone your nose shape.
BUNNY LINES
Botox bunny lines can help smooth out soft lines that can form on the nasal bridge as we age. This is especially useful in the summertime when we are more likely to be outside in the sun squinting.
HYPERHIDROSIS/EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Botox can be strategically placed on many parts of the body to help reduce excessive sweating. We can successfully used botox to reduce sweating in the underarms, below and in between the breasts, hands, feet, elbows, behind the knees, forehead, nose, cheeks, scalp, and hairline.
ENLARGED PORES
Microbotox technique can be used over areas of enlarged pored to help refine pore size, reduce excess sebum, and help reduce persistent redness secondary to rosacea.
These applications of botox are just the tip of the iceberg! We have many options for body botox as well including trapezius botox (aka barbie tox or trap tox), botox for migraines, botox for bulky calves, quadricep/thigh botox, and many more. Book a consultation now to learn more!
