Botox Injections
in Cresskill, NJ
Lines between your brows showed up gradually. Now they stay visible even when your face is at rest. GLOW by Elena Reitman MD treats those persistent creases with Botox injections at our Cresskill, NJ office.
Dr. Reitman places each unit with anatomical precision, relaxing targeted muscles while preserving your natural range of expression.
What Is Botox?
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator made from purified botulinum toxin type A. It temporarily blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, reducing muscle contraction in treated areas for three to four months.
At GLOW, Dr. Reitman uses Botox to soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement. Crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the brows respond predictably to precise dosing.
The treatment takes 10 to 15 minutes. Results begin appearing within three to five days, with full effect visible at two weeks.
Benefits of Botox
Targeted Wrinkle Reduction
Botox relaxes the specific muscles that cause crow's feet, forehead creases, and glabellar lines. GLOW patients in Cresskill see smoother skin in the treatment zone without affecting surrounding areas.
Preventive Aging Strategy
Starting Botox before deep-set wrinkles form can slow the etching process. Younger patients at GLOW use small doses to prevent lines from becoming permanent.
Quick Treatment, No Downtime
The injection session lasts under 15 minutes. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Dr. Reitman uses a fine 32-gauge needle that minimizes discomfort at each injection point.
Natural-Looking Results
Over-treatment creates a frozen look. Dr. Reitman adjusts dosing by muscle strength and patient preference, preserving the ability to smile, raise eyebrows, and show emotion.
Physician-Led Care at GLOW
Every treatment at GLOW is performed or directly overseen by Dr. Elena Reitman, an Ivy League-trained, board-certified physician with eleven years of operating room experience.
Botox Treatment Areas
Forehead Lines
Horizontal lines across the forehead develop from repeated frontalis muscle contraction. GLOW treats this area with 10 to 30 units, distributed across four to six injection points.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Complex)
The "11 lines" between the brows form from corrugator and procerus muscle activity. Dr. Reitman typically places 20 to 25 units across five points for this area.
Crow's Feet
Fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes respond to 8 to 12 units per side. GLOW patients often combine this with forehead treatment for balanced results.
Additional Areas
Botox also treats bunny lines on the nose, a gummy smile, chin dimpling, platysmal bands on the neck, and masseter reduction for jawline slimming. Dr. Reitman evaluates each area independently during your consultation at GLOW in Cresskill.
Common Questions About Botox
How long does Botox last? +
Botox results at GLOW typically last three to four months. Patients who maintain regular treatments may notice results extending slightly longer as the muscles adapt to reduced activity over time.
Does Botox hurt? +
Most patients describe a brief pinch at each injection point. Dr. Reitman uses a 32-gauge needle and can apply topical numbing if requested. The entire session takes under 15 minutes.
When will I see results from Botox? +
Initial smoothing begins within three to five days. Full results are visible at two weeks. GLOW schedules a follow-up at that point to assess whether any touch-up units are needed.
Can I combine Botox with fillers? +
Yes. Many GLOW patients combine Botox with dermal fillers in the same visit. Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles from muscle movement, while fillers restore volume in areas like cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows.
Is Botox safe? +
Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and has one of the longest safety track records in aesthetic medicine. Dr. Reitman's medical training ensures accurate placement and appropriate dosing at GLOW.

Patients who choose Botox at GLOW often explore complementary options. Xeomin Injections and Dysport Injections offer alternative neuromodulators with similar mechanisms and slightly different onset profiles.
