BOTOX® in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is BOTOX?
Every time you look at your face in a mirror, are you concerned about wrinkles and creases on your brow and around your eyes? Known as dynamic wrinkles, these skin issues occur due to repeated facial movements, like frowning, smiling, and squinting. As people become more mature, these lines ultimately become more pronounced and can make them appear less youthful. Thanks to BOTOX Cosmetic, we can often temporarily minimize the development of moderate to severe frown lines, Crow's feet, and forehead creases. BOTOX is a specialized type A strain of botulinum toxin. It works to temporarily block the muscles that cause those contractions, letting the overlying skin recover on its own. At Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki are pleased to offer BOTOX injections as a minimally invasive solution to help patients attain a smoother, refreshed result. We invite you to call our office in Fredericksburg, VA for more information about BOTOX Cosmetic.
How Does BOTOX Work?
During your first treatment consultation at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, a cosmetic assessment will be performed to decide which areas require treatment. Since BOTOX is performed during a fast, outpatient service, your injections can commonly be administered in the same visit. The formula will be injected into the specified areas of your forehead or upper face using a fine-gauge needle. BOTOX treatment takes about ten minutes to carry out, and most people notice only minor discomfort (such as a pinprick or pinching feeling). Following your visit, you are welcome to leave our facility and go about your day.
What Are The Benefits Of BOTOX?
Fine lines and facial folds can distract from our better attributes and make us appear older than we are. BOTOX is a good choice for helping you attain a more youthful, polished aesthetic. Although the results are not permanent, you will reap the benefits for several months before needing a follow-up treatment. Patients may also get added benefits from BOTOX at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, such as:
- Minimal discomfort: BOTOX injections employ a very small needle, making treatments seem like a small pinch of the skin.
- Rapid treatment sessions: The BOTOX procedures may take as little as ten minutes.
- Very little rest or rehab: Due to the minimally invasive qualities, you can resume your everyday schedule following treatment.
- Easy maintenance: Patients who wish to maintain their results semi-permanently will notice that follow-up treatment appointments are brief and realistic for everyday schedules.
Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
Fantastic Results - The results after my mommy makeover have exceeded my expectations! Dr Heppe is very skilled and the facility is clean and welcoming.
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the amazing job Dr. Aflaki did with my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), mastopexy (breast lift), and lipo 360 procedure in October 2024. His expertise and attention to detail truly made a difference in my journey, I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Dr. Aflaki and his team for the exceptional work and support. I will gladly recommend Dr. Aflaki to anyone considering similar procedures. Please follow him on Instagram to see his work.
Dr. Aflaki is the BEST. I wish I had come to him sooner. I recently had a 360 Lipo and BBL done with him and I am SO grateful I went to him. I originally booked with 2 different doctors in Miami but cancelled both after finding out some very horrifying news about what they were doing to women. Something in me told me to just stay in state and do it closer to home. THANK GOD I cancelled with the other doctors and stayed in state. I soon found Doctor Aflaki's office and booked my procedure the same day as my consult with him because my intuition felt REALLY good about him. My spirit was at peace when speaking to him, and it felt right. He is straight to the point and honest. He genuinely cared for me. If I have questions, I ask him directly anytime, and he is always there for me. His staff is also very kind and helpful. Shout out to Nurse Victoria for all the advice she gave me through my recovery! The results I got with Dr. Aflaki are fantastic... I am 7 weeks post-op today, and I am EXTREMELY happy with my results. -Madhu
My experience was excellent! Dr. Aflaki and his team were amazing with anything I needed. I couldn't be more happier with my results. For my next procedure I wont go anywhere else! Looking forward to my next improvement. I can't wait! Thank you Dr. AFlaki for everything!
I’ve got the Fraxel preformed on face with Kristine and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire treatment. Dr. B prescribed me a prescription to prep as well as a numbing cream for the day of. I arrived one hour earlier than my scheduled time to allow the numbing cream sit and settle. Then I had the Fraxel laser pass over several times and thankfully I had a cooling tube right by me which made the passes at the more painful setting much easier to go through. I’m still in the recovery phase, but it’s not as bad as a chemical peel. I have slight flaking, and it just look like I’m more flushed than usual. Looking forward to the results over the next months and can’t wait to go back for maintenance. Just make sure you follow the pre and post instructions to a T

Frequently Asked Questions
How many BOTOX injections will i need?
The number of BOTOX treatments provided will differ based on individual concerns and the extent of your wrinkles. Dr. Heppe can determine the appropriate number of BOTOX units according to your targeted treatment outcomes and whether you want to address the forehead, Crow's feet, or between the eyes. To keep up with your cosmetic results, our practitioners might recommend receiving BOTOX procedures every few months at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg.
Can BOTOX be paired with additional aesthetic procedures?
BOTOX treatment often pairs well with other aesthetic solutions at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg for individuals who prefer to address aging concerns. If you notice more extensive and pronounced facial wrinkles and lines, our team might suggest adding a filler for maximum outcomes. To further maximize your youthful, radiant appearance, Dr. Heppe might discuss additional complementary treatments, like skin resurfacing or dermal fillers.
Is there a difference between fillers and wrinkle relaxers?
Although wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, are used to diminish fine lines by temporarily freezing your muscle engagement, fillers are a distinct category of cosmetic injections that improve volume in the face. Dermal fillers are intended to volumize gaunt-looking features and fill in static wrinkles. Dr. Heppe can ascertain if you would benefit from a filler (such as JUVÉDERM® or Restylane®) to further enhance your BOTOX results.
