BOTOX
New Jersey
Botox is a safe, FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles (the lines that appear when you frown, smile, or squint). Countless patients choose Botox in New Jersey to smooth forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. The goal is to create a refreshed, youthful appearance. This treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime. Dr. Joanna Partridge customizes every injection to your facial anatomy and goals so as to ensure natural results that enhance expression without looking “frozen.”

Non-Surgical Wrinkle Reduction with Botox in NJ
A Subtle Touch
Facial expressions reveal a lot about how we feel - and can also show signs of aging. Repeated muscle movements, sun exposure, and natural aging may create lines and wrinkles that make your face look tired, stressed, or older than you feel. While skincare and lifestyle changes maintain healthy skin, they cannot erase dynamic wrinkles. Botox in New Jersey offers a non-surgical, effective solution to smooth lines and refresh your appearance.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joanna Partridge provides personalized Botox treatments tailored to each patient’s facial structure and goals. Patients across Princeton, North Brunswick, Lawrence Township, Lawrenceville, Pennington, East Brunswick, South Brunswick, Highland Park, and surrounding New Jersey communities trust Dr. Partridge to soften frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles for a naturally youthful, refreshed look.
Other Neuromodulator Injections
In addition to Botox, Dr. Partridge may use several other FDA-approved neuromodulators to help relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles:
Dysport - works similarly to Botox, with a slightly faster onset and a wider spread. Ideal for larger treatment zones.
Xeomin - a purified formulation without accessory proteins, reducing the risk of resistance in some patients.
Daxxify - the newest on the market and can last several months longer than other toxins.
Dr. Partridge will help select the best neuromodulator based on your facial anatomy, treatment area, and desired results.

How Long Do BOTOX results last?


Results from a Botox treatment typically last 3-4 months, though this can vary depending on factors like muscle strength, age, and metabolism. Over time, the treated muscles gradually regain movement, and lines may slowly reappear.
To maintain a smooth, youthful appearance, most patients schedule follow-up treatments every 3-4 months. Dr. Partridge will help create a personalized plan to keep your results consistent and natural-looking.

- Bunny lines on the sides of the nose
- Neck bands or platysmal lines
