Introduction
BOTOX injections have been the world’s most popular cosmetic procedure, surgical or non-surgical. BOTOX has had several medical uses over the decades, such as the treatment of an overactive bladder or chronic migraine relief, but when the FDA approved BOTOX for treating wrinkles in 2002, it became a sensation in the cosmetic market. That’s as true in Hollywood as it is here in King of Prussia, Bryn Mawr, Margate, NJ and the greater Philadelphia area. BOTOX wrinkle relaxers have a loyal following for one reason – they work. Once injected, they effectively erase lines and wrinkles in the upper third of the face for about four months.
Lux Skin Lasers by John Lee, MD is Mainline’s #1 Botox and TOP 100 (out of 40,000+ clinics) provider of BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers in the US.

Lux Skin Lasers by Dr. John Lee is conveniently located in King of Prussia, just 15 miles northwest of Philadelphia, and an easy drive from Malvern, Collegeville, Paoli, Berwyn, and Devon.
BOTOX is made from botulinum toxin type A. Scientists discovered that if the botulinum toxin was injected in a minuscule amount into a muscle, it caused no harm to the body. BOTOX works by relaxing the muscles that form wrinkles when we make various facial expressions. These are known as “dynamic” wrinkles, and if not addressed can cause long term effects such as brows droop, forehead collapse and overall hooding of the eyes. So, if you’re looking to address wrinkles around your crow’s feet, the lines between your brows, and forehead lines while also providing a more youthful, refreshed eyes appearance, BOTOX is your answer.
Daxxify is an advanced neurotoxin injectable treatment that stands out due to its unique, animal-free composition and labeled the “vegan Botox”. Utilizing Peptide Exchange Technology (PXT), Daxxify offers a synthetic alternative to the human or animal byproducts found in traditional neurotoxins like Botox, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more ethical and natural cosmetic treatment. This product is one of Dr. Lee’s favorite due to its longevity and tighter molecules with the least dispersion, thus more control. Efficacy is visible within a few days and lasts up to 5-6 months.
Xeomin® is made of botulinum toxin type A and does not need refrigeration. Since it has no additives, the body has a reduced risk of developing antibodies against it. The effects of Xeomin® occur within one week, and the results last from three to six months, making it comparable to Botox in terms of both onset and duration of action.
Overall, Botox and Dysport are very similar. Both are a type of botulinum type A used to relax the muscles that cause frown lines and other overactive facial muscles, including forehead lines and crow’s feet. It’s like comparing apples to apples. Dysport is a smaller molecule with the highest dispersion rate, thus providing the least control.
Our patients who have received BOTOX & wrinkle relaxers in the greater Philadelphia area have enjoyed the painless results and boost their self-esteem. Some other benefits include:
Most of our patients from Bryn Mawr, King of Prussia, and across Philadelphia start BOTOX® injections when they notice crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines developing. However, there isn’t any correct or incorrect age. However, if you are concerned with sagging and volume loss to the lower face, BOTOX® is not the ideal treatment for you. These concerns are best addressed with dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®. Ideal candidates will share some of the following characteristics:
The first step to getting BOTOX in Bryn Mawr, King of Prussia, and Margate, NJ, at Lux Skin Lasers is to schedule an in-person appointment at the practice. During your consultation, your provider will discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations for the treatment. They will then examine your facial anatomy, skin condition, and the target areas of concern while outlining the treatment, its associated risks, benefits, and results. This is a great time to ask further questions or bring up ideas for combined procedures with your provider.
If you and the provider agree to move forward, they will design a treatment plan for you, which you can then use to schedule an injection immediately following your consultation or at a later, more convenient time for you.
On the day of your BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers treatment in Philadelphia at Lux Skin Lasers, your provider and their staff will welcome you, get you settled, and review your treatment plan to ensure you are fully comfortable proceeding with it as discussed. Once you are ready to go, the treatment will begin.
We apply anesthetic cream before the injections at no additional charge to ensure your comfort. Once you are numb, your provider will perform the microdot injection technique, which allows a tiny amount of BOTOX to be injected into the intended muscle. This treatment allows for a more precise application, so unlike other providers, there are no post-treatment limitations.
BOTOX Cosmetic injections take less than five minutes. BOTOX Cosmetic and similar treatments, such as Dysport and XEOMIN, are neuromodulators that temporarily block chemicals that signal a muscle to contract (tighten). When used in a cosmetic setting, BOTOX Cosmetic can produce dramatic anti-aging effects.
BOTOX Cosmetic smooths out the appearance of expression lines by relaxing the underlying muscle. This results in a dramatic reduction in the signs of aging around the eyes and forehead and a younger, more energetic appearance.
BOTOX Cosmetic does not require any downtime, and you can immediately resume your regular activities. However, it is not recommended to rub the injection for 24 hours after your BOTOX session.
