BOTOX®
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for creating wrinkles and fine lines. When administered by a skilled physician like those at Metro Eye Care, BOTOX creates a smoother, more refreshed appearance while preserving your natural facial expressions. Botox is considered safe and has helped millions achieve their aesthetic goals.
What Happens During a BOTOX Treatment?
First, your provider will discuss your goals and expectations to determine the appropriate treatment areas. You may have photographs taken of the treatment area for your medical record. Before the injection, your face will be cleansed. The actual injection takes just a few minutes. Using a very fine needle, your provider will inject small amounts of BOTOX into specific muscles with minimal discomfort. The number of injections needed depends on the extent of the area being treated.
Most patients report that the injections feel like a quick pinch, and any minor discomfort resolves almost immediately. No recovery time is needed, and you can resume normal activities right away, though you’ll be advised to avoid rubbing the treated area and to stay upright for a few hours.
Results typically begin appearing within 24-48 hours after treatment, with full effects visible within 7-14 days. BOTOX effects generally last 3-4 months before a touch-up is needed. At Metro Eye Care, our specialized providers are highly trained in facial anatomy and precise BOTOX administration, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance your appearance while preserving your ability to express yourself naturally.
What Areas Can BOTOX Treat?
BOTOX can help with several common concerns:
- Frown lines between your eyebrows
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet around your eyes
- Lines on the sides of your nose
- A gentle lift for droopy eyebrows
- Slimming a strong jawline

BOTOX can also be used therapeutically to treat conditions like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), chronic migraines, and certain eye muscle disorders. Many patients are surprised to learn that Botox has both cosmetic and medical applications approved by the FDA. Dr. Kirszrot personalizes each treatment so you’ll look refreshed and natural.

Oculoplastic and Cosmetic Surgery
Eyelid Reconstruction – Blepharoplasty and Ptosis Repair
Eyelid damage can happen as a result of an injury, tumor, skin cancer, or past eye surgery. Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery performed to help improve the appearance of the eyelids. It addresses concerns associated with puffy eyelids, bags under the eyes, excess skin and fine wrinkles.
Eyelid ptosis, or the drooping of the eyelids, can make a person appear “tired,” cause brow aches and even obscures vision. Eyelid reconstruction to correct ptosis is a common procedure performed in an outpatient facility.
Eyelid Lesions
Eyelid lesions appear as growths (either pigmented or non-pigmented) that form on the surface of the eyelid. Some eyelid lesions can be removed in the office, while others may require a biopsy and surgical removal at a surgical center. While most eyelid lesions are benign and associated with the aging process, it is important to seek treatment to rule out any form of the disease.
Ectropion and Entropion Repair
Entropion and ectropion are common eyelid disorders that affect the upper and lower eyelids. Entropion occurs when the muscles and tendons of the eyelid weaken causing the eyelid to turn inward. This creates friction against the cornea and can result in excess tearing, irritation, ulcer formation, and scarring of the cornea. Ectropion is the opposite; the lower eyelid turns outward, which can lead to dry eye syndrome.
Ectropion and entropion are most often age-related eyelid disorders, and treatment is dependent on the severity of the disorder. Permanent ectropion and entropion repair require a relatively minor surgery, where a small part of the eyelid is removed to help tighten the delicate tendons and muscles in the eye area.
Tear Duct Surgery
Tear duct obstructions may develop from facial trauma, infection, inflammation, or as a side effect of certain medications. These obstructions can cause excess tearing or even promote the accumulation of bacteria that can lead to an infection. Tear duct surgery, also known as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), involves the creation of a new opening for the tear duct to drain into the nose.
Facial Fillers
Facial fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are used to restore volume to areas such as the lips, cheeks, and around the nose. Facial fillers are a cost-effective, minimally invasive way to smooth wrinkles, soften creases, and enhance the natural contours of the face without plastic surgery.
