Botox in Colts Neck, NJ

Source Medical Aesthetics helps Colts Neck residents soften expression lines and refresh their look with Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, administered by Dr. Kristine Krever, MD, at our office just down Route 34 in Matawan. If you're searching for a wrinkle relaxer provider who knows the difference between a treated look and a natural one, you're in the right place.

What Is Botox and How Does It Work?

Botox is a purified neuromodulator, a form of botulinum toxin type A, that temporarily blocks the nerve signals telling specific facial muscles to contract. When those muscles relax, the wrinkles caused by repeated movement, like the lines between your brows or across your forehead, soften. It's an injectable treatment, not a surgical one, and it targets dynamic wrinkles, meaning the lines that form when your face moves rather than lines already etched into resting skin.


Most Colts Neck patients see results begin within three to seven days, with full effect visible around the two-week mark. Onset and duration vary by individual metabolism, muscle mass, and treatment area. Botox is not a permanent solution; results typically last three to four months, at which point additional treatment is needed to maintain the effect.

Treatment Areas We Address With Botox


Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are most commonly used for the elevens between the brows (glabellar lines), horizontal forehead lines, crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, bunny lines across the nose, and a lifted brow appearance. Some patients also use neuromodulators for jawline slimming (masseter treatment) or to soften a gummy smile. If you're not sure which area is right for you, that's exactly what your consultation is for.


For Colts Neck patients looking to address volume loss rather than dynamic wrinkles, our Dermal Fillers and PDO Threads treatments may be a better fit, and we're happy to discuss which approach suits your skin during your visit.


Wrinkle Relaxer Options for Colts Neck Patients

Not every neuromodulator behaves the same way, and part of a good consultation is matching the right product to your face and goals. We offer three FDA-approved options to meet your aesthetic goals.

  • Botox

    Botox is the most established name in wrinkle relaxers, and for good reason. It has the longest track record of the three options we offer and remains the most requested treatment for frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet. Dr. Krever maps your specific muscle movement pattern before injecting, which is why patients who had a flat or "frozen" result elsewhere often find a very different experience here. 

  • Dysport

    Dysport uses the same class of botulinum toxin as Botox but has a slightly different protein structure that can spread more evenly across larger muscle groups, which some patients find useful for forehead lines. It has been used in Europe for over two decades and received FDA approval in the United States in 2009. Some patients notice onset a few days faster with Dysport than with Botox, though individual response varies.


  • Xeomin

    Xeomin is sometimes called a "naked" injectable because it doesn't contain the accessory proteins found in Botox and Dysport. For patients who are new to wrinkle relaxers, or who want the most refined, minimal-additive option available, Xeomin is often a good starting point. During your consult, Dr. Krever will walk you through whether Xeomin, Botox, or Dysport best fits your facial anatomy and goals.

Neuromodulators are injectable medications, such as botulinum toxin types, that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. By reducing muscle activity, they soften dynamic wrinkles like:

- frown lines between the eyebrows

- crow's feet and around the eyes

- horizontal forehead lines

The result is a smoother, more refreshed appearance while preserving natural facial expressions when administered by an expert injector.

You'll typically notice the first signs within a few days, with most people seeing clearer improvement between days 5 and 14. Full effect usually settles in about two weeks. Changes continue to harmonize over the first week as the injected product takes full effect. 

The duration of effect is commonly around three, though it can vary by individual injection area, product use, and your metabolism. Some patients notice longer-lasting results with consistent maintenance visits. 

Yes, neuromodulators (such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®) are exceptionally safe, FDA-approved cosmetic treatments backed by over two decades of extensive clinical research and successful use in aesthetic medicine. 


Derived from a highly purified, isolated botulinum toxin protein, these injectables work safely by temporarily relaxing target facial muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles without entering the bloodstream or causing systemic side effects.  

You should typically schedule a neuromodulator maintenance injection every 3 to 4 months to maintain a smooth, wrinkle-free appearance. This timeline aligns with the natural biological cycle during which your body safely breaks down the botulinum toxin and muscle mobility gradually returns. For our long-term patients visiting from Colts Neck and surrounding communities, maintaining a consistent, proactive treatment schedule can actually condition the target facial muscles to relax over time, frequently extending the longevity of your refreshed results.
