Most Commonly Performed Treatment
Mirrors force you to see your age wrinkled on your face. Crow's feet, forehead creases, and more let the world know how old you are, even if you don’t feel that old yet. Botox treatments are the most commonly performed, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in the world. Plastic surgery specialist Dr. Jeremy White, offers Botox as an option to facelifts, as a beneficial way to help patients reduce the effects of aging and get the younger-looking, wrinkle-free skin they desire.
Hollywood’s not-so-hidden secret
Botox is a trade name for Botulinum toxin A, which comes in the form of a purified protein. Botox works to relax the contraction of muscles by blocking nerve impulses. It is injected into the facial muscles and, within a few hours, it attaches itself to the nerve endings of the motor muscles, thereby affecting nerve transmission. That may sound scary, but there is no loss of sensory feeling at all during the time that Botulinum toxin A is effective.
Once these motor nerve endings are interrupted, the muscles cannot contract. The only reason there are wrinkles in the skin in the first place is because the muscle is moving underneath it; thereby blocking muscle contraction is the most beneficial way to lessen or remove wrinkles. When muscles, especially those around the eyes and in the forehead, can no longer contract, wrinkles will relax and soften, resulting in smoother, softer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Botox works best for people looking to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, as well as crow’s feet and puffy eyes. In addition to cosmetic purposes, Botox can be used in small doses to treat health problems including blepharospasm, uncontrollable blinking; strabismus, misaligned eyes; and cervical dystonia, a neurological disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder muscle contractions.
Botox pricing is determined by the exact number of units required to safely achieve your goals. A heavy forehead muscle requires more product than small corrections around the eyes. We provide precise financial details during your skin assessment.
There is zero social downtime. You can return to your routine in Coral Gables or Palmetto Bay immediately. Minor injection bumps at the site disappear within twenty minutes of your session.
We use ultra-fine micro-needles for this process. Most patients describe a brief, minor pinch similar to a bug bite. No topical numbing is required for standard applications.
The actual injection sequence takes ten to fifteen minutes. Your entire visit, including a thorough muscle assessment and mapping, fits comfortably into a thirty-minute window.
achieve a healthy, more youthful and refreshed appearance
Botox is most effective on wrinkles that haven’t quite set into the skin, such as wrinkles that appear when moving the face, such as when smiling or frowning. Over time the brow may drop or lower; Botox treatments can lift the brow making the face look less tired, giving the face a more youthful appearance. With real, noticeable results, no surgery and little to no recovery time, there are many reasons why Botox has been chosen by millions of women and their doctors. With Botox Miami patients can achieve a healthy, more youthful and refreshed appearance that will complement the face and increase confidence and quality of life.
Botox has several advantages including:
Botox is FDA cleared for glabellar lines and hyperhidrosis. However, there are many off-label uses for these injections. Some of the reasons patients come to ARC Plastic Surgery for Miami Botox include:
We utilize neuromodulators to address specific zones where active expressions cause visible creasing. Our team maps your unique facial anatomy to deliver precise results.
We determine candidacy through close observation of your expression patterns and underlying muscle strength. Our patient family spans multiple generations, reflecting our family-office approach to aesthetics. We treat individuals at every stage of the aging timeline with customized dosing protocols.
Our team guides younger adults in their twenties and thirties who want preventative micro-dosing—often called "Baby Botox." This strategy calms overactive muscle movement before wrinkles have a chance to etch permanently into the dermal layers. We also manage care for mature patients in their forties, fifties, and beyond who seek to soften established creases, reset heavy muscle pulling, and look naturally rested.
This treatment serves all demographics with distinct goals:
We treat all skin types safely. If you notice horizontal or vertical lines beginning to linger on your face when your muscles are completely relaxed, your tissue is ready for a personalized plan to let your confidence shine.
We postpone treatment for individuals experiencing active skin flares, open acne lesions, or localized inflammation at the injection sites. Neuromodulators are not safe or recommended for pregnant or nursing women. Anyone with rare neuromuscular conditions, such as Myasthenia Gravis, is completely disqualified from neurotoxin treatments.
We also practice absolute clinical honesty regarding static wrinkles. If your creases are deep, permanent folds that remain completely unchanged when your face is fully at rest, neurotoxins alone cannot erase them. This structural state indicates that the dermal layer has lost its underlying collagen support matrix. For these deep folds, we will advise you against isolated injections and instead recommend combination plans, sequencing your treatment with skin tightening or dermal fillers to address the volume loss directly.
Men require a customized injection philosophy. Because male facial anatomy features greater muscle mass and denser tissue, standard dosing strategies often fall short. We customize our treatment for male Botox patients to soften deep forehead lines and heavy frown marks while preserving a masculine brow structure.
Patients often ask about alternative brands on the market. While Botox remains the household name, we offer other modern neurotoxins to match your specific cellular responses.
During your evaluation, we select the ideal neurotoxin formula based on your personal muscle strength and previous treatment history.
Dynamic muscle relaxation addresses only one layer of the aging process. For comprehensive skin rejuvenation, we often pair Botox sessions with advanced non-surgical treatments during the same office visit.
Combining injections with Morpheus8 allows us to tighten deep subdermal tissue while smoothing surface expressions simultaneously. For patients experiencing true midface volume loss, we sequence your injections alongside custom Facial Fillers. The filler restores structural volume to the cheeks or jawline while the neurotoxin calms overactive muscles, giving you a complete, balanced rejuvenation.
Simple, Non-Surgical Procedure
It’s a simple non-surgical, 10-minute procedure with little to no downtime and almost no bruising after injections! It usually takes five to seven days to begin seeing a cosmetic improvement and the effects tend to last around three months. Most of our Miami botox patients will require additional treatments of Botox to remove wrinkles and lines as they begin to reappear, but after each injection, wrinkles will return less severe as the muscles are trained to relax.
Our clinical team begins your session by cleansing the skin thoroughly to remove all surface lipids and cosmetics. We then ask you to perform various facial expressions—frowning, smiling, and lifting your brows. This allows us to visually map the exact strength and track the vectors of your facial muscles.
Your provider marks the precise injection points. Using a sterile, ultra-fine micro-needle, the solution is deployed directly into the target muscle fibers. You will feel a tiny pinch. We use localized cold therapy to ensure total comfort. Once the injections finish, we apply a soothing recovery balm to the skin. You are out the door and ready to resume your day within thirty minutes.
A More Beautiful You
Achieve the youthful look you’ve wanted by scheduling a Botox consultation with double board-certified Dr. Jeremy White in Miami at ARC Plastic Surgery. When you meet Dr. White for your consultation, he will listen to your concerns and carefully examine your skin for clinical signs of aging. He may ask you to look in the mirror, make different facial expressions, and point out the areas that bother you most. He may also use digital photography to make it easier to pinpoint your concerns. If you and he decide that this treatment is the right fit, he will explain what to expect during and after your treatment, including how long it will take to see results. Dr. White never rushes the process and will be pleased to answer any questions you might have, especially if this is your first time trying cosmetic injectables.
Dr. White may tell you about other options, such as dermal fillers, PRF, laser skin rejuvenation, or chemical peels, depending on the specific issues you want to address. His consultations are thorough, conscientious, and informative—ensuring you feel confident moving forward with your personalized treatment plan.
Your aftercare habits directly impact how well the solution binds to the target muscle receptors. Following our straightforward guidelines prevents the product from migrating to unintended zones.
Neuromodulators do not deliver instant changes. The solution requires time to block the cellular nerve signals. Most patients notice the initial softening of their lines within three to five days. The final, peak smoothing effect manifests at the fourteen-day mark.
The muscle relaxation remains stable for three to four months. Over time, your body naturally metabolizes the product, and normal muscle movement gradually returns. To maintain your smooth complexion and prevent lines from deepening, we recommend scheduling a maintenance session every twelve to sixteen weeks.
An outstanding neuromodulator result requires an expert understanding of facial anatomy. Cheap injection mills and high-volume day spas often treat every face with a cookie-cutter recipe, leading to heavy, dropped brows or artificial expressions.
Dr. White brings strict surgical standards to all our non-surgical offerings. Our team understands how a single injection alters neighboring muscle groups. We deliver precise, artful placement designed to let your natural beauty shine.

Botox costs depend on the number of units required to safely treat your specific muscle groups. Total pricing reflects your anatomy and the correction depth needed. We provide an exact cost breakdown during your private consultation.
Results remain stable for three to four months for most patients. Your personal metabolism, muscle mass, and daily expression habits influence how quickly the body breaks down the product.
It treats forehead lines, frown lines between the eyes, crow's feet, bunny lines on the nose, neck bands, and masseter muscles for jaw slimming. It can also perform a subtle lip flip.
Yes. It is an FDA-approved prescription medication with decades of clinical data backing its safety profile. When administered by trained medical experts in a sterile clinical environment, complications are incredibly rare.
Botox relaxes the active muscles that cause dynamic expression lines. Dermal fillers are gel-based implants that restore structural volume to hollow areas like the cheeks, under-eyes, and lips.
