What Is Botox®?
Botox® is a non-surgical facial filler treatment for relieving facial wrinkles, particularly the wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes, and in the “crow's feet” areas on the upper third of the face. Dr. Nick Slenkovich and his staff offer this treatment at our surgical center and provide some of the best results with Botox® that Denver has to offer.
Benefits
Benefits of receiving BOTOX® treatments at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center:
- Reduces the Appearance of Wrinkles: BOTOX® effectively smooths fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and mouth, providing a more youthful appearance.
- Quick and Convenient Treatment: The procedure is fast, typically taking only a few minutes, with no downtime required, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
- Prevents Future Wrinkles: Regular BOTOX® treatments can help prevent the formation of new wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for expression lines.
- Versatile Application: Beyond cosmetic benefits, BOTOX® can also be used to treat medical conditions such as migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms, offering both aesthetic and therapeutic advantages.
From 2011 on, Colorado Plastic Surgery Center has administered 162,961 units of BOTOX®. Out of all our non-filler injectables, we have administered 185,436 units of neurotoxin (that is, BOTOX®, Xeomin, and Dysport® combined!).

BOTOX® FAQs
Do BOTOX® Injections Hurt?
Like all injections, BOTOX® injections can hurt a little. However, BOTOX® is administered using a very small needle, so you may not feel much more than a prick. A topical anesthetic cream may be applied to aid in your comfort during injections if you desire.
How Many Units of BOTOX® will I Need?
It is impossible to say exactly how many units of BOTOX® you will need without a prior consultation. The amount of BOTOX® you will need will be determined by several factors including:
- The size of your forehead
- Your gender (men tend to have larger features than women)
- The depth of your facial lines
Having said that, Allergan (the manufacturer of BOTOX®) recommends an average of eight to twenty units are appropriate for smoothing forehead lines and creases.
Will My Face Look Frozen or Unnatural?
Absolutely not. In the hands of Dr. Slenkovich, BOTOX® injections are expertly administered, producing elegant, sophisticated results. Dr. Slenkovich has extensive experience administering facial injectables, and produces lovely, smooth natural-looking results—not frozen or expressionless.
Is BOTOX® Safe?
Yes. BOTOX® is FDA approved for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead and outside of the eyes (often referred to as “crow’s feet”) and is considered to be safe.
When Will I See Results from BOTOX® Injections?
You will begin to see results of your BOTOX® injections immediately, with maximum results visible in approximately 30 days.
Does BOTOX® Prevent New Wrinkles from Forming?
Yes! Your facial muscles contract hundreds of times each day, which is the root of fine lines and wrinkles. By injecting BOTOX® into your facial muscles, you are not only temporarily smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, but also preventing them from becoming more deeply etched into the skin and underlying tissue.
Will I Still Be Able to Look Expressive?
Absolutely. While BOTOX® reduces the ability of your facial muscles to move, it does not completely inhibit your ability to make natural facial expressions when the product is administered properly.
How Long Does BOTOX® Last?
BOTOX® injections usually last between 3-6 months, though sometimes as long as 4-12 months, depending on your individual facial muscles. If we use a dermal filler in conjunction with the BOTOX®, the filler will have its own timeline for effectiveness.
