Botox Treatment in New Jersey | Marano Eye Care

What Is Botox?

Botox® is an FDA‑approved injectable treatment that relaxes targeted muscles to smooth wrinkles and treat several medical eye conditions. With decades of proven safety in both medical and cosmetic care, Botox remains one of the most trusted and popular non‑surgical options for facial rejuvenation.

Medical Uses of Botox

Botox was first FDA‑approved in 1989 to treat eye‑muscle disorders, including:

• Blepharospasm (uncontrollable blinking)

• Strabismus (crossed eyes)

Ophthalmologists also use Botox to help manage certain types of double vision caused by eye‑muscle imbalance. Because Botox works by relaxing specific muscles, it can provide meaningful, targeted relief for these conditions.

Cosmetic Uses of Botox

In 2002, Botox received FDA approval for treating glabellar lines—the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. Today, it is widely used to soften:

• Crow’s feet around the eyes

• Horizontal forehead lines

• Frown lines between the brows

Cosmetic Botox delivers a smoother, refreshed, naturally youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.

At Marano Eye Care, our ophthalmologists provide Botox for both cosmetic enhancement and medical treatment, ensuring precision, safety, and natural‑looking results.

How Botox Treatment Works

Your appointment begins with a brief evaluation of your facial muscles and aesthetic or medical goals. If needed, a topical numbing ointment is applied for comfort.

Your ophthalmologist may ask you to make certain expressions—such as raising your eyebrows or squinting—to identify the exact muscles to treat. Using an ultra‑fine needle, Botox is gently injected into the targeted areas.

The entire treatment typically takes only a few minutes. An ice pack may be applied afterward to minimize temporary swelling.

When Will I See Results?

Most patients begin noticing improvement within 1–2 days, with results gradually becoming smoother and more refined. Full results typically appear within one week.

How Long Does Botox Last?

For cosmetic treatments, Botox results generally last up to four months. For medical conditions such as strabismus, the duration is similar and may increase with repeated treatments.

Why Choose an Ophthalmologist for Botox?

Ophthalmologists specialize in the delicate anatomy of the eyes and surrounding facial structures. Their advanced training makes them uniquely qualified to perform Botox injections with exceptional precision and safety.

At Marano Eye Care, your ophthalmologist customizes every treatment to your facial anatomy and goals, ensuring balanced, natural‑looking results.
