Cosmetic injectables are minimally invasive treatments delivered through a fine needle to soften wrinkles, replace lost volume, and refine facial contours. They fall into two broad families that work in very different ways.
Neuromodulators quiet movement. Fillers rebuild support. Used together by an experienced injector, they address both the surface and the foundation of facial aging. The science is well established: botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles, while dermal fillers bind water beneath the skin to plump and lift.

Could not be happier with the results of my facial botox injections by Dr. Reitzen.
Dr Reitzen is wonderful. She is kind and patient and will spend as much time with you as you need.
Got Botox, painless! Kind doc and gave me recs for a skin care regimen. Nice staff and modern clean office. Not pushy or judgemental.
Dr.Reitzen is phenomenal. She took a very, unnerving situation of breaking my nose and made it seamless.
Dr Reitzen is great and provides beautiful natural results. Beautiful office and very nice staff.
Choosing an injector is really choosing a pair of eyes and hands you trust with your face. Dr. Reitzen trained at New York University, the NYU School of Medicine, and the University of Miami Health System, building a foundation in facial anatomy that goes far beyond a weekend certification course. That ENT background matters more than patients expect, because understanding the nerves, muscles, and underlying structure of the face is exactly what keeps injectable results looking natural.
Her patients consistently describe an experience that feels unhurried and judgment-free. She listens first, explains options in plain language, and aims for the kind of subtle refresh that has friends asking whether you've been on vacation, not whether you've had work done. Reviews from across the Upper East Side echo the same themes: kind, thorough, and gifted at delivering beautiful, natural results.

Neuromodulators like BOTOX and Dysport typically last three to four months before muscle movement gradually returns. Dermal fillers last longer, anywhere from six to eighteen months depending on the product and the area treated.
Most patients feel only a slight pinch, since Dr. Reitzen uses very fine needles and a careful technique. Numbing cream or fillers premixed with lidocaine can make the experience even more comfortable.
Filler results show up right away, though minor swelling can take a few days to settle. BOTOX and Dysport work more gradually, with full effects appearing within one to two weeks.
Pricing depends on the product, the number of units or syringes, and how many areas you want treated. Dr. Reitzen reviews exact costs with you during your consultation so there are no surprises.
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or small bruises at the injection site are the most common effects, and they usually fade within a few days. Real recovery time is minimal, so most patients return to work and normal activity the same afternoon.
Skipping alcohol, aspirin, and other blood thinners for a few days beforehand can lower your risk of bruising. Arrive with a clean face and a clear idea of the areas that bother you most.
Absolutely, and pairing the two is one of the most effective ways to refresh the face. Neuromodulators smooth expression lines while fillers restore volume, and Dr. Reitzen often designs plans that use both for balanced, natural results.
Providers generally recommend postponing injectables until after pregnancy and nursing, since safety data in these situations is limited. Dr. Reitzen will gladly discuss timing and alternatives if this applies to you.
