Botox

BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable neuromodulator, or neurotoxin, that has been the most popular cosmetic treatment in the United States for over 25 years. It was approved by the FDA in 2002, and is the first and only treatment FDA-approved to smooth moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults for several months. It is also commonly used off-label in other areas, such as in the jawline to relax tightened masseter muscles and in the underarms to reduce excessive perspiration.

Expertise is essential to achieving natural results and to creating predictable and subtle outcomes that help to prevent wrinkles in the long term. Dr. Sherber is a board-certified dermatologist recognized as an expert in the art of BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, giving patients “plausibly deniable” results without ever looking “frozen” or “done.” For those who are frequently in the public eye, this popular injectable improves skin smoothness and can prevent the formation of deeper facial lines. As cited in the Washington Post: "Optimal treatments for those who are frequently on television focus on skin quality," says Washington dermatologist Noëlle Sherber... "She has several patients — elected officials, CEOs, and others in the public eye — who start 'prejuvenation' treatments in their 30s and 40s. So that by the time they reach their 70s," she says, "they look like they’re still in their 50s.’" Dr. Sherber was named Washington DC’s best for Botox in Allure magazine: “D.C. women who’ve tried doctor after doctor for Botox keep coming back to this one.” She also serves as an Advisory Board member to help develop best practices and innovation for Allergan Aesthetics (the manufacturer of Botox®). Dr. Sherber has published research on differential Botox dosing across patient ages, and on evidence-based approaches to microbotox for skin quality treatment. She is a Principle Investigator in the FDA Phase III clinical trial of Botox for masseter muscle prominence, also known as “jawline” Botox, to relax masseter muscles to achieve a slimmer facial structure. In clinical practice, this treatment can also treat various conditions such as teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and headaches. Although some people are concerned that Botox® will make them look frozen or permanently surprised, a very nuanced lifting of the brows or smoothing of the forehead or picking up the corners of the mouth is achievable with the correct approach.
