Botox Before & After

What Is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By reducing muscle movement, BOTOX smooths expression lines and restores a refreshed appearance while maintaining natural movement. This treatment is especially effective for frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. Under Dr. Leong’s guidance, each injection is delivered with precision and care to achieve elegant, balanced results that preserve your individuality.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at Leong Aesthetics begins with a detailed conversation about your goals, skin health, and aesthetic preferences. Dr. Leong and his team will explain your options and craft a tailored plan that may include BOTOX alone or in combination with complementary treatments. Our goal is for you to feel informed, confident, and comfortable with your customized treatment strategy.

How Much Does BOTOX Cost?

BOTOX pricing depends on the number of units and treatment areas required. Because every face is unique, costs vary from person to person. On average, patients invest between $200 and $500 per session for natural, lasting results. During your consultation, we provide a detailed estimate so you can plan your care with complete transparency. Patients also benefit from Dr. Leong’s special Rewards Program, which allows you to earn points for non-surgical treatments that can be applied toward future surgical procedures at his main practice.

BOTOX Recovery and Results

Recovery is simple and quick. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at injection sites may occur but fades quickly. Makeup may be applied shortly after treatment. Results begin within three to five days and reach their peak around two weeks. With healthy habits and consistent care, your smooth, refreshed look can last three to four months or longer.

Brotox: BOTOX for Men

More men than ever are choosing BOTOX to maintain a refreshed, confident appearance. Sometimes called “Brotox,” this treatment helps men look younger while preserving strong, masculine features. It can effectively address lines such as crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and laugh lines. For younger men, BOTOX also serves as a preventative option to delay the onset of deeper wrinkles. Whether your goal is to stay competitive in the workplace or simply look as energized as you feel, BOTOX for men at Leong Aesthetics offers discreet, natural results.

This integrative approach ensures balanced, long-lasting rejuvenation tailored to your facial structure and goals.
