Understanding Botox
Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s most commonly used on forehead lines, frown lines (the "11s" between the eyebrows), and crow’s feet around the eyes.
Dr. Iyengar delivers Botox with precision to achieve refreshed, natural-looking results—never frozen. Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, reducing movement in the treated areas and helping to create a smoother, more youthful look.
When should I consider botox?
If you’re noticing signs of aging—such as forehead creases or smile lines—but aren’t ready for surgery, Botox can be a quick and effective solution. Many patients also use Botox as a preventive treatment to delay the formation of deeper lines over time.
What are the details of this procedure?
Botox treatments are fast and minimally invasive. Using a fine needle, Dr. Iyengar precisely injects small amounts of the product into targeted facial muscles. The entire process takes about 10–15 minutes and requires no downtime.
Results begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effect in about two weeks. The effects typically last 3–4 months.
Why choose Dr. Iyengar for botox?
With his surgical background and deep understanding of facial anatomy, Dr. Iyengar delivers natural-looking Botox results—never frozen or overdone. His approach focuses on subtle enhancement that allows your expressions to shine through while minimizing the signs of aging.
What does recovery look like?
There’s no downtime with Botox, and most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness or swelling at the injection sites typically resolves within an hour.
Regular maintenance treatments every few months can help keep your results consistent and your skin looking smooth and refreshed.

I have lived my entire adult life self conscious of my neck sagging and double chin. Dr. Iyengar took such good care and gave me a tight neck and for once in my life I have a jawline! I had a neck and lower face lift with lipo in my chin.

Dr. Iyengar is an incredible doc, he truly listened to my story and provided a plan to address all of my medical needs. After surgery, he has been providing excellent care of me and is the most accessible surgeon I have ever encountered.

I had a procedure to ease back and neck pain. Dr.Rajiv Iyengar. Was so amazing. His staff was thoughtful. They helped coordinate insurance. Made sure I was well informed and the surgery and results have been beyond my expectations. I suggest you shop around and then STOP when you interview Dr Iyengar. The procedure went without a hitch. He had full control of all the Medical professionals and was very thorough through the day. He is helpful and old fashioned in his bedside manner. Very pleased with results and will recommend to anyone.

He’s incredibly responsive and makes you feel confident and cared for from day one. Honestly, his fresh perspective combined with his expertise is a major positive!
The aftercare has also been outstanding! Thorough, diligent, and consistently supportive. I’ve felt cared for every step of the way.

Dr Iyengar did a repair on an old eyelid surgery. Him and his staff were a pleasure to work with and I could not be happier with the results!

Dr. Raj Iyengar is awesome!!! I had 3 areas of botox today (glabella, crow's feet, and forehead). I had absolutely no pain and zero bruising. He was very informative throughout the procedure, and very kind. A great experience

I am 6 days post brow lift, blephraplasty, nanofat transfer, and neck lipo with Renuvion, and I already see a significant difference. I am SO excited already, and I’m still healing. Dr Iyengar has an incredible bed side manner, remembers little details about his patients, and has an impeccable résumé. I made the right choice trusting him with my face!
Ron L.
I’m glad to have this doctor and his staff on my side. When I heard the words skin cancer I went through a WIDE verity of feelings. I got worse case scenario and it scared me. After some reassurance I felt much better. I’m amazed at the complexity of the surgery and how well everything went. Just 6 weeks after surgery I’m feeling much better about the future look that everyone will see when they see my smiling face. Thanks Dr. Iyengar. I’ll share photos with anyone interested.
