Botox Treatments in Cleveland, OH
Botox® is the world’s most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment for a reason: it works. Whether you are looking to soften deep forehead furrows, erase “crows feet” around the eyes, or prevent new wrinkles from forming, Botox® provides a fast, effective, and reliable solution.
Dr. Rodney Green brings a surgeon’s precision to every injection. By expertly targeting only the specific muscles responsible for frown lines, he ensures you maintain your natural facial expressions while achieving a smoother, more youthful appearance. The goal is never to look “frozen,” but rather to look well-rested and vibrant.
Primary Treatment Areas
Botox® is most effective for “dynamic wrinkles”—the lines that appear when you smile, laugh, or frown:
- Forehead Lines: Horizontal creases that appear when you raise your eyebrows.
- Glabellar Lines (The “11s”): Vertical furrows between the eyebrows that can make you look angry or stressed.
- Crows Feet: Fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes.
- Brow Lift: Strategically placed injections can slightly lift the tail of the brow for a more “open” eye appearance.
- Bunny Lines: Small wrinkles on the bridge of the nose.
- Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating): Botox® is also FDA-approved to treat excessive underarm sweating by blocking the chemical signals that stimulate sweat glands.
The Procedure: Quick, Comfortable, and Convenient
Often called a “lunchtime procedure,” a Botox® treatment typically takes only 10 to 15 minutes.
- Muscle Mapping: Dr. Green will ask you to make various facial expressions to identify the exact muscles causing your wrinkles.
- The Injections: Using a very fine, specialized needle, Dr. Green injects small amounts of Botox® into the targeted areas. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick “mosquito bite.”
- No Downtime: You can walk out of the office and return to your normal activities, including work and driving, immediately.
When Will I See Results?
- Initial Effect: You will begin to notice the muscles relaxing within 3 to 5 days.
- Full Result: The maximum smoothing effect is typically reached at the 10 to 14-day mark.
- Longevity: Results generally last between 3 and 4 months. With regular treatments, the targeted muscles can “learn” to relax, often leading to longer-lasting results over time.
Important Note on Your Recovery & Results
Every individual’s anatomy is unique, and as such, the dosage required and the duration of the results will vary from patient to patient. Factors such as muscle strength, metabolism, and lifestyle can influence how your body responds to the treatment.
While Botox® is extremely safe, your health is our priority.

Botox® FAQs
Will I lose my facial expressions?
No. When administered by an experienced professional like Dr. Green, Botox® only targets the specific muscles that cause wrinkles. You will still be able to smile, frown, and look surprised—you’ll just do so without the deep skin creasing.
Is it safe?
Yes. Botox® has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use for over 20 years and has one of the most established safety profiles in all of medicine.
At what age should I start?
There is no “right” age. Many patients in their 20s and 30s use Botox® as a preventative measure to stop wrinkles from etching permanently into the skin. Others start later to soften existing lines.
What is the recovery like?
There is no recovery period. We simply ask that you do not rub the injection sites or perform vigorous exercise for about 4 hours after treatment to ensure the Botox® stays exactly where it was placed.
