Incorporating Botox into your anti-aging skincare routine can provide a range of long-term benefits, enhancing both the appearance and health of your skin. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, Dr. Lanna offers expert Botox treatments tailored to support your overall anti-aging goals, leaving you with a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

- Prevention of Deep Wrinkles: Botox not only smooths existing fine lines but also helps prevent the development of deeper wrinkles over time. By relaxing the muscles responsible for facial expressions, Botox reduces repetitive movements that can lead to permanent wrinkles, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.
- Skin Texture Improvement: Regular Botox treatments can promote smoother skin, as the relaxation of muscles helps to ease tension in the face. This allows your skin to look more even and radiant, especially when combined with other skincare treatments.
- Boosting Collagen Production: Over time, Botox can contribute to increased collagen production by reducing muscle tension and stimulating circulation. This collagen boost helps maintain skin elasticity, making your skin look firmer and more youthful.

Dr. Lanna’s expertise ensures that Botox is used as part of a holistic approach to skincare, working alongside other treatments to give you lasting anti-aging results. Experience the benefits of a comprehensive, age-defying skincare routine at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics.

Botox for Cosmetic vs. Medical Purposes: Recovery & Side Effects

Botox is widely known for its cosmetic benefits, but it is also used for medical purposes, such as treating muscle spasms, chronic migraines, and more. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, we offer Botox treatments for both cosmetic and medical purposes, and it's important to understand the differences in recovery time and side effects depending on the purpose of the treatment.

- Cosmetic Botox Recovery: When Botox is administered for cosmetic purposes, such as smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, recovery time is minimal. Most patients experience little to no downtime. You may have slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these typically subside within a few hours. Results appear within a few days, and there's usually no interruption to your daily routine.
- Medical Botox Recovery: Botox used for medical treatments may involve a slightly longer recovery time, depending on the condition being treated. While side effects are generally mild, such as localized soreness or bruising, some patients may experience temporary weakness in the treated muscles as their body adjusts. However, these side effects are typically short-lived.

Whether for cosmetic enhancement or medical therapy, Dr. Lanna ensures a personalized approach to Botox, guiding you through the treatment and recovery process for optimal results.

Botox for Facial Muscle Rehabilitation After Sports Injuries

Botox isn’t just for wrinkle reduction—it can also play a role in facial muscle rehabilitation following sports injuries or accidents. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, we provide personalized Botox treatments that support recovery and enhance healing, helping you return to normal function more efficiently.

- Muscle Relaxation and Recovery: After a facial injury or muscle strain, Botox can temporarily relax overworked or tense muscles, aiding in the rehabilitation process. By targeting specific areas of discomfort, Botox helps reduce muscle spasms and allows the affected muscles to heal properly without further strain.
- Reducing Pain and Inflammation: Botox can assist in alleviating pain and inflammation that often follow facial injuries. By blocking nerve signals to the muscles, Botox can reduce the risk of ongoing discomfort, promoting faster healing and improved mobility.
- Supporting Post-Injury Healing: Botox helps improve muscle function by allowing the muscle to rest and heal without excessive movement. This can be especially helpful after trauma, enabling muscles to regain strength and function as part of a comprehensive recovery plan.

Dr. Lanna’s expertise in both aesthetic and therapeutic Botox ensures a tailored approach to recovery, addressing both the physical healing and appearance of your facial muscles. Let us help you recover and restore balance in your face with Botox.

Many people wonder if Botox injections can impact the effectiveness of their skincare routine, especially when using active ingredients like vitamin C or peptides. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy skincare regimen, and we’re here to provide answers.

- Botox and Skincare Synergy: Botox injections primarily target facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, and they do not directly interfere with the absorption of topical skincare products. However, it’s important to note that Botox affects muscle movement rather than skin texture, meaning your topical treatments can still work effectively.
- Active Ingredients: Ingredients like vitamin C and peptides are designed to target specific skin concerns, such as brightening and anti-aging. Botox does not interfere with these active ingredients, and you can continue using them as part of your skincare routine to enhance the benefits of both treatments.
- Post-Treatment Care: After receiving Botox, it’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions. Dr. Lanna may advise waiting for a short period before applying certain products, allowing the Botox to settle into the muscles and avoid any potential irritation.

With Dr. Lanna’s expertise, you can continue to enjoy both Botox and your favorite skincare products to achieve your best results.

Can Botox Help Improve Facial Circulation?

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, we’re dedicated to offering treatments that not only enhance your appearance but also support overall skin health. One common question we receive is whether Botox injections can improve facial circulation, particularly in patients with poor circulation or vascular issues.

- Botox and Facial Circulation: Botox works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles, but it can also have a positive impact on blood flow. In patients with poor circulation, Botox may help improve blood flow in the treated areas, supporting the skin's health and appearance.
- Relaxing Tension: Tight facial muscles can restrict blood flow, which may worsen circulation problems. By relaxing these muscles, Botox can allow for better circulation to those areas, potentially promoting skin health and a more youthful look.
- Personalized Treatment: Dr. Lanna carefully evaluates your unique facial structure and circulation needs during your consultation. Based on this assessment, she will determine whether Botox is an appropriate treatment option for enhancing circulation and improving overall skin vitality.

Dr. Lanna’s expertise ensures you receive a treatment tailored to your individual needs, helping you achieve both aesthetic improvements and better facial circulation.

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, we understand that every face is unique, and achieving natural-looking results with Botox requires a personalized approach. For patients with thicker facial muscles or more prominent facial contours, determining the optimal number of Botox units is essential to ensure effective and balanced results.

- Facial Muscle Thickness: Individuals with stronger or thicker facial muscles may require a higher number of Botox units. These muscles tend to resist the effects of Botox, and more units may be necessary to achieve the desired smoothing of wrinkles and lines.
- Facial Contours: More prominent facial features, such as a well-defined jawline or a stronger brow, may require a more tailored Botox approach. Dr. Lanna carefully evaluates your natural facial contours to ensure that the right amount of Botox is administered to enhance your features while maintaining harmony with your overall look.
- Custom Treatment Plan: During your consultation, Dr. Lanna will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. She will then create a customized Botox treatment plan that takes into account your unique muscle structure and facial contours, ensuring optimal results.

Dr. Lanna’s expertise ensures that you receive the right amount of Botox for your individual needs, providing natural, youthful results.

Lip Fillers for Strong Jawlines: Achieving Proportional Balance

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, we specialize in creating natural, balanced lip enhancements that complement your unique facial structure. For patients with a strong jawline or defined chin, the goal is to enhance the lips without disrupting the harmony of the face. Here’s how we approach lip filler treatments for these individuals to ensure a balanced, proportional result:

- Facial Proportions Matter: When treating patients with strong jawlines or defined chins, we carefully consider the overall facial structure. The key is to select the right amount of filler and strategically place it to enhance the lips while maintaining a natural flow with the jawline and chin.
- Tailored Approach: Dr. Lanna customizes each lip filler treatment to suit your facial features. We focus on providing subtle volume that enhances the lips without making them appear disproportionate to the rest of the face, ensuring that your overall profile remains balanced.
- Harmonizing Features: By considering the jawline, chin, and lip position, we aim to enhance your lips in a way that complements the definition of your lower face. This approach helps to create a look that’s both striking and in perfect proportion.

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, we take pride in delivering lip filler results that are tailored to your unique features, enhancing your natural beauty with precision and care.

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, lip filler is never just about the lips—it’s about how they fit into the entire face. That’s why Dr. Lanna often recommends subtle enhancements in the surrounding areas, like the chin, marionette lines, or nasolabial folds, to create a balanced and beautifully framed look.

Many clients come in focused solely on lip volume or definition, but achieving a truly harmonious result often means addressing what surrounds the lips. If the lower face has deep creases or lacks structure, even perfectly done lips can look out of place or overstated. A small amount of filler in these areas can make a dramatic difference without changing your natural expression.

Here’s why strategic surrounding filler can enhance lip results:

- Softens nasolabial folds that can pull focus away from the lips
- Adds support to the chin for a more proportional lower face
- Reduces shadowing around the mouth that can age the appearance
- Helps lips sit more naturally in profile and frontal view
- Provides a seamless contour that complements the filler placement in the lips

At our NYC med spa, Dr. Lanna designs your lip enhancement plan with the full facial picture in mind. Subtle adjustments beyond the lips often lead to the most natural and striking results.

How We Prevent Lip Filler “Pillowing” at Rest

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, one of the most important goals in lip enhancement is achieving a smooth, natural appearance—whether you're smiling, speaking, or completely at rest. A common concern among patients is the risk of visible “pillowing,” or uneven lumps and bulges that can appear after filler settles.

Dr. Lanna uses a refined technique that focuses on anatomical harmony and product placement to avoid this issue entirely. Rather than simply adding volume, she sculpts the lips based on your unique structure, muscle activity, and tissue density.

Here’s how we minimize pillowing for seamless results:

- Careful assessment of lip shape and resting posture before any injection
- Use of soft, cohesive hyaluronic acid fillers that integrate smoothly with natural tissue
- Microdroplet layering instead of bolus injections to distribute product evenly
- Avoiding overfilling in areas prone to creasing, such as the center of the upper lip
- Gentle molding and post-injection massage to guide the filler’s position

Every detail of your lip filler session is guided by Dr. Lanna’s extensive experience and commitment to natural aesthetics. At our NYC med spa, we prioritize results that are undetectable to others but transformative to you—refined, smooth, and authentically yours.

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, we believe lip filler aftercare is just as important as the injection itself. One of the most common questions we receive is: “What lip balm or barrier cream should I use after my filler?” The right post-treatment product can make a big difference in comfort, healing, and how your results settle.

Immediately after lip filler, your lips may feel tender, dry, or slightly swollen. During this time, choosing a non-irritating, healing-focused lip product is essential. Dr. Lanna recommends fragrance-free, petroleum-free, and dye-free balms that restore moisture without aggravating the skin or interfering with the filler.

Our top picks include:

- Aquaphor Healing Ointment – for its simple, skin-protective formula
- CeraVe Healing Lip Balm – packed with ceramides for barrier support
- Vanicream Lip Protectant – great for sensitive skin with no fragrance or preservatives
- Avene Cicalfate+ Restorative Lip Cream – designed to soothe post-procedure dryness

We also advise avoiding plumping glosses, exfoliants, or tinted balms for at least 48 hours after treatment. At our NYC med spa, Dr. Lanna provides you with a complete aftercare plan that ensures your lips heal beautifully and your filler results last longer.

Lip Filler Customized for Smiles with an Overbite

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, we understand that no two smiles are the same—and that includes clients with naturally protruding upper teeth or an overbite. When planning lip filler for these unique profiles, precision and anatomical understanding are key to achieving a balanced, natural result.

An overbite or forward-positioned upper teeth can affect how the upper lip sits, how it moves, and how much volume it can safely hold. Overfilling in these cases can lead to an exaggerated or protrusive look, which is why Dr. Lanna takes a nuanced, personalized approach to lip enhancement.

Here’s how treatment is adjusted for optimal outcomes:

- In-depth facial and dental profile assessment before treatment
- Strategic filler placement that supports lip structure without increasing projection
- Focus on enhancing definition and symmetry rather than bulk volume
- Use of softer, flexible filler materials that move naturally with speech and expression
- Optional combination with chin or lower lip balancing for full-face harmony

Dr. Lanna’s expertise ensures that your lips look enhanced but never overdone—regardless of dental structure. At our NYC med spa, we celebrate facial diversity and tailor every lip filler treatment to reflect your unique beauty, from every angle and in every smile.

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, we know many of our lip filler clients love bold lip looks—whether it’s a long-wear matte lipstick, liner-defined glam, or high-shine gloss. But does frequent use of heavy lip makeup impact the retention of your filler? And can we tailor your treatment to keep your pout looking flawless with or without product? Absolutely.

Frequent makeup application, especially long-wear or waterproof formulas, often involves regular exfoliation, makeup removal, and reapplication. These routines can contribute to increased friction on the lips and around the vermillion border, which may slightly influence how long your filler results last. But with the right technique and care, your enhancement can still maintain shape, structure, and smoothness.

Here’s how Dr. Lanna accommodates makeup-lovers:

- She selects filler formulas with optimal durability and soft texture
- Injection patterns are customized to support areas where pigment is applied most
- Lip hydration and aftercare tips are provided to minimize friction-related breakdown
- Maintenance schedules are adjusted based on your lifestyle and makeup habits

At our NYC med spa, every lip filler treatment is built around you—from your facial anatomy to your beauty routine. Whether your lips are bare or bold, we’ll make sure they always feel like yours—just enhanced.

Lip Filler Placement That Moves Naturally

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, one of the most common concerns we hear from clients considering lip filler is whether the product will settle unevenly—especially in areas where the lips naturally crease during speech or smiling. Dr. Lanna approaches every lip enhancement with precision, artistry, and anatomical expertise to ensure that your results look beautiful and feel completely natural, even in motion.

Pooling or bunching of filler in dynamic areas like the corners of the mouth or the philtrum can occur when the product is over-injected or placed incorrectly. That’s why Dr. Lanna uses advanced micro-droplet techniques, strategic layer placement, and product selection tailored to your lip structure and movement patterns.

Here’s how we prevent unwanted filler settling:

- Thorough consultation with muscle and fold assessment during movement
- Use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers known for smooth integration
- Precise injection technique to avoid overfilling or uneven volume distribution
- Strategic focus on natural lip borders and structural support

Whether you're enhancing volume, restoring symmetry, or defining shape, Dr. Lanna ensures every filler plan is customized to you—right down to how your lips move when you speak. Discover the NYC med spa where technique meets trust, and lips are never overdone.

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, we understand that beauty is all about balance—and that includes how your lips harmonize with other prominent features like the nose or chin. That’s why our approach to lip filler treatments is never one-size-fits-all.

Dr. Lanna, a highly regarded injector with extensive experience in facial anatomy, customizes every lip filler placement to enhance your natural proportions. When a client has a more prominent nose or chin, the goal isn't simply to add volume—it’s to create symmetry and softness that complements the entire face.

Here’s how we approach it:

- For clients with a strong chin, we often focus on subtly enhancing the volume of the upper lip to draw attention upward and soften the overall profile.
- For those with a pronounced nose, we aim to create balanced lip projection and refined contour, especially at the Cupid’s bow and vermilion border, to bring greater harmony to the midface.
- Strategic filler placement may also involve slight augmentation of surrounding areas, like the philtrum columns or corners of the mouth, to ensure a fluid transition between features.

Located in the heart of NYC, Dr. Lanna Aesthetics is where artistry meets anatomy. Come experience a lip filler treatment that’s designed with your full profile in mind.

Best Time of Day for Botox at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics

At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, we’re often asked if the time of day makes a difference in the results of Botox. While Botox itself works the same regardless of when it’s administered, the timing of your appointment can absolutely impact your comfort, convenience, and how your body responds immediately post-treatment.

Dr. Lanna, a skilled and experienced injector, typically recommends scheduling your Botox appointment in the morning or early afternoon. Why? Because these times allow for optimal post-care. After Botox, we advise clients to avoid lying down for 4 hours, skipping intense exercise for the rest of the day, and staying upright to prevent the product from migrating. Morning appointments give you more time to follow these guidelines naturally, without disrupting your daily routine or sleep schedule.

Patients also report feeling more relaxed and less rushed during earlier visits—especially in our calming, boutique-style New York med spa environment. This can lead to a smoother overall experience and help minimize stress-related facial movement immediately following the procedure.

If you're juggling a busy NYC schedule but still want the best results, we’ll help you choose an ideal time slot tailored to your lifestyle. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, Botox is more than just an injection—it’s precision care with your whole day in mind.
