Understanding the Treatment
What Is Botox? How Wrinkle Treatment Works
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin manufactured by Allergan. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, allowing them to relax. When those muscles stop contracting, the overlying skin smooths out — softening dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002, Botox has become the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the United States. At Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville, Dr. Godko uses precise micro-dosing techniques refined through years of daily injection experience to deliver results that look natural, not frozen.
How does Botox work to reduce wrinkles?
Botox blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, temporarily preventing targeted facial muscles from contracting. When these muscles relax, the dynamic wrinkles they create — like frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet — smooth out. Results typically appear within 3 to 7 days and peak at 10 to 14 days.
Is Botox safe?
Yes. Botox has been FDA-approved since 2002 for cosmetic use and has an extensive safety record spanning over two decades. The cosmetic doses used for wrinkle treatment are a fraction of therapeutic doses, making serious side effects extremely rare when administered by a qualified provider like Dr. Godko.
What is the difference between cosmetic and therapeutic Botox?
Cosmetic Botox targets facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and fine lines. Therapeutic Botox treats medical conditions like chronic migraines, TMJ disorders, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and bruxism (teeth grinding). Dr. Godko at Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville offers both cosmetic and therapeutic Botox treatments.

What areas of the face can Botox treat?
Botox treats over 15 areas including forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines or 11s), crow's feet, bunny lines on the nose, lip lines, lip flip, chin dimpling (mentalis), jawline slimming (masseter), neck bands (platysma), brow lift, gummy smile correction, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Dr. Godko at Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville customizes each treatment plan to your specific facial anatomy.
What is a Botox lip flip?
A Botox lip flip uses a small amount of Botox injected into the orbicularis oris muscle along the upper lip border. This relaxes the muscle just enough to let the upper lip gently roll outward, creating a fuller appearance without dermal filler. It is a quick, subtle enhancement popular among Lawrenceville patients who want a natural look.
Can Botox slim the jawline?
Yes. Botox injected into the masseter muscles gradually reduces their size, creating a slimmer, more contoured jawline. This treatment is especially effective for patients who clench or grind their teeth, as it also relieves TMJ tension. Dr. Godko's dental background gives him an advanced understanding of masseter anatomy for precise jawline slimming results.
Your Injector Matters
Why Choose a Doctor for Botox in Lawrenceville?
Dr. Maxim Godko, DDS
Care Esthetics Certified Provider
Most medspas in Mercer County rely on nurse injectors or physician assistants. At Deluxe Esthetics, every Botox injection is administered by Dr. Godko personally — a licensed dentist with an NYU Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and over four years of dedicated facial anatomy training.
That dental background is not just a credential. Dentists perform more facial injections daily than almost any other medical professional. Dr. Godko understands the precise depth, angle, and dosing required for each of the 43 muscles in the human face — which is why patients from Princeton, Hamilton, Ewing, and across Lawrence Township choose a doctor over a medspa.

Why should a dentist administer Botox instead of a nurse injector?
Dentists complete four or more years of post-graduate training focused on facial anatomy, nerve pathways, and injection technique. They perform injections daily as part of their clinical practice. A DDS like Dr. Godko has a depth of anatomical knowledge that enables more precise placement, reducing the risk of complications like ptosis (drooping) and delivering more natural-looking results than typical medspa nurse injectors.
What is Care Esthetics certification?
Care Esthetics is a credential-gated professional network founded by Dr. Miron, a pioneer in platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) research. Membership requires completing advanced training in regenerative facial esthetics, including PRF, Bio-LIFT, and Bio-CARE protocols. It is not a paid directory — providers must demonstrate clinical competency to join. Dr. Godko is a certified Care Esthetics provider in Lawrenceville, NJ.

How long does it take to see Botox results?
Most patients notice initial smoothing within 3 to 5 days after their Botox injections. Full results develop between 10 and 14 days as the neurotoxin fully binds to the nerve receptors. Dr. Godko schedules a two-week follow-up for Lawrenceville patients to assess results and make any touch-up adjustments if needed.
Will I look natural after Botox?
Yes. Dr. Godko uses a conservative, precision micro-dosing approach that preserves natural facial expressions while smoothing wrinkles. The goal is never a frozen look. Patients at Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville consistently describe their results as refreshed and natural — people notice you look great, not that you had a procedure.
Your Visit
What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment
From consultation to aftercare, every Botox appointment at Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville follows a structured, patient-centered process designed to deliver consistent, natural results.
Personalized Consultation
Dr. Godko evaluates your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and creates a customized treatment plan. He explains exactly which areas will be treated, how many units are recommended, and what results to expect.
Precision Treatment (15-20 Minutes)
Using an ultra-fine needle, Dr. Godko delivers precise micro-injections to the targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. No anesthesia is required, though topical numbing is available for sensitive areas.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
You can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the treated area for 4 hours and skip intense exercise for 24 hours. Results appear within 3 to 7 days, with a follow-up appointment at two weeks to ensure everything looks perfect.
Does Botox hurt?
Most patients describe Botox injections as a brief pinch or mild stinging sensation that lasts only a few seconds per injection site. The needles used are ultra-fine — much thinner than those used for blood draws. At Deluxe Esthetics, Dr. Godko can apply a topical numbing cream before treatment for patients who are particularly sensitive.
How long does a Botox appointment take?
The actual injection process takes 15 to 20 minutes for most treatment areas. Including your consultation and aftercare instructions, plan for about 30 to 45 minutes total for your first visit. Follow-up treatments are even faster since your treatment plan is already established. Many Lawrenceville professionals schedule Botox during their lunch break.
What should I avoid after Botox?
After your Botox treatment at Deluxe Esthetics, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 4 hours, skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours, stay upright for at least 4 hours (no lying down), and avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and saunas for 24 hours. These precautions help ensure the Botox stays precisely where it was injected for optimal results.

How Long Does Botox Last?
Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months for most patients, though some areas may maintain results for up to 6 months with regular treatments. Over time, many patients find they can extend the interval between appointments as the treated muscles gradually weaken from consistent Botox use.
Day 1-3: Treatment administered. Minor redness or swelling may occur and resolves quickly.
Day 3-7: Wrinkle smoothing becomes visible. Frown lines and forehead creases start to soften.
Day 10-14: Peak results. Fine wrinkles and crow's feet are fully smoothed. Follow-up appointment scheduled.
Month 3-4: Effects gradually wear off. Schedule your next appointment to maintain results.
How often should I get Botox?
Most patients at Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville schedule Botox treatments every 3 to 4 months to maintain smooth results. Dr. Godko recommends scheduling your next appointment before the effects fully wear off. With consistent treatments, many patients find they need fewer units over time as the targeted muscles gradually weaken.
What happens if I stop getting Botox?
If you stop Botox treatments, muscle movement gradually returns and dynamic wrinkles will reappear over time. However, your wrinkles will not become worse than they were before treatment. Many patients who used Botox consistently actually see lasting improvement because the muscles have been trained to contract less forcefully.
Comprehensive Approach
Beyond Botox: Neurotoxin Brands & Combination Treatments
As a Care Esthetics certified practice, Deluxe Esthetics offers all four FDA-approved neurotoxin brands — giving Lawrenceville patients options that medspas limited to a single brand cannot provide.
Botox
Allergan / AbbVie
Dysport
Galderma
Xeomin
Merz
Jeuveau
Evolus
Combination Treatments
Many Lawrenceville patients achieve their best results by combining Botox with complementary treatments. Dr. Godko may recommend pairing Botox with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapy using the exclusive Bio-LIFT and Bio-CARE protocols for natural skin rejuvenation, microneedling for texture improvement, or dermal fillers for volume restoration. This comprehensive approach addresses both dynamic wrinkles and underlying skin quality.
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are both botulinum toxin type A injectables that work by the same mechanism. Dysport tends to spread slightly more, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead, and may produce visible results 1 to 2 days faster. Botox is more concentrated and precise for smaller areas like crow's feet. Dr. Godko at Deluxe Esthetics recommends the best brand based on each patient's treatment areas and goals.
Can I combine Botox with dermal fillers?
Yes, combining Botox with dermal fillers is one of the most effective approaches for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Botox relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, while fillers restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and lips. This "liquid facelift" approach is popular among patients at Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville who want full-face refreshment without surgery.
Brotox in Lawrenceville
Botox for Men: Discreet, Professional, Effective
Botox for men — often called "Brotox" — is one of the fastest-growing segments in aesthetic medicine. Male patients from Lawrenceville, Princeton, and across Mercer County choose Deluxe Esthetics because treatments happen in a medical office, not a spa, and results are completely undetectable.
Dr. Godko adjusts injection techniques and dosing for male facial anatomy, which typically features stronger muscles, thicker skin, and different wrinkle patterns than female patients. The most popular treatment areas for men include forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet — helping maintain a competitive, youthful edge in professional settings.
Is Botox popular with men?
Yes. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 500,000 men received Botox injections in 2023, making it the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for men. At Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville, male patients appreciate the medical office setting, discretion, and the fact that a doctor — not a spa technician — administers their treatment.
Patient Safety
Botox Side Effects & Safety
Botox has an exceptional safety profile when administered by a qualified provider. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, resolving within 24 to 48 hours.
- Minor redness or swelling at injection sites (resolves within hours)
- Slight bruising (uncommon, fades within a few days)
- Mild headache (rare, typically resolves within 24 hours)
- Temporary tenderness at the treatment area
Serious side effects like eyelid drooping (ptosis) are extremely rare and almost always the result of improper injection technique. Dr. Godko's 4+ years of facial anatomy training and daily injection experience at Deluxe Esthetics significantly reduces this risk.
Who should not get Botox?
Botox is not recommended for patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a known allergy to botulinum toxin, or have a neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis. Patients taking blood thinners or certain antibiotics should inform Dr. Godko during their consultation at Deluxe Esthetics in Lawrenceville so he can determine the best timing for treatment.
What age should you start Botox?
There is no single ideal age to start Botox. Many patients begin preventive Botox in their late 20s or early 30s to slow the formation of dynamic wrinkles, while others start later to soften existing frown lines, fine wrinkles, or crow's feet. Dr. Godko evaluates each Lawrenceville patient individually and recommends treatment only when it will provide meaningful benefit.
