Botox Before and After
Botox Overview
Botox is an FDA-approved injection that smooths the lines your expressions leave behind. We offer Botox in Paramus, NJ for forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet, as well as lower-face areas and the neck where appropriate.
Treatment starts with a medical assessment of your face at rest and in motion. Every dose is then matched to your anatomy, so the result stays in proportion and still looks like you.
Clinique La Roya is a physician-run practice led by Nawar Al-Obaidi, MD, an internal medicine physician.
Concerns Treated by Botox
We plan Botox around the areas you choose, from the frown lines often called the 11s to the lower face, the neck and the underarms.
-
Horizontal forehead lines
Creases across the forehead soften, while the brows keep their natural lift.
-
Frown lines between the brows
The creases that gather between the brows ease, and the face looks less strained at rest.
-
Crow's feet at the outer eyes
The lines that crinkle beside the eyes ease, and your smile keeps its warmth.
-
Lift at the outer brow
A small dose at the tail of the brow typically raises it a little and gives the eye a more open look.
-
Bunny lines at the sides of the nose
The small diagonal creases that form on either side of the nose with a scrunch fade.
-
Lip flip for the upper lip
The upper lip rolls slightly outward, so more of its border shows.
-
Gummy smile at the upper lip
The upper lip rises less when you smile, and less of the gum is on view.
-
Dimpling across the chin
An orange-peel texture across the chin smooths out to an even surface.
-
Downturned corners of the mouth
Mouth corners that turn downward relax, and your resting expression looks more neutral.
-
Masseter slimming at the jawline
Treatment in the jaw muscle used for chewing slims a square or wide lower face.
-
Vertical bands in the neck
Visible cords along the front of the neck relax and stand out less.
-
Underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Away from the face, Botox typically reduces underarm sweat.
Botox Process
- 01
Assessment and mapping
We go over what you want to change and how your lines form as you speak and smile. Then we chart each area and the units it needs.
- 02
Precise injections
A physician places each measured dose at the points mapped in your plan. Each point is chosen to keep the result even and natural.
- 03
Settling and follow-up
Results develop gradually and settle in over one to two weeks. At your follow-up we check the result, adjust any area that needs it and set your maintenance schedule.
Your Botox Consultation
Botox begins with a Consult Skin Care & Injectables appointment. A physician assesses your skin, your facial movement and what you hope to change, then decides where treatment should go.
You leave with a clear plan: how many units, and where each one goes. Where another treatment suits a concern better, we say so.
Common Questions About Botox
Will Botox make my face look frozen?
No. Treatment is limited to the lines you choose. Every other part of your face moves as it always has, so your expressions stay entirely yours.
How long does Botox last?
Results typically hold for three to four months and fade gradually. When the lines begin to return, a maintenance visit renews the result.
Who administers Botox at Clinique La Roya?
A physician. Every unit of Botox at our Paramus clinic is placed by a physician, as with all of our injectables.

Areas We Serve
Physician-led care across Bergen County
Clifton
The Clifton High School Mustang Band was organized in 1938, and a band brings many parts into one sound. A Botox plan can do the same for several areas, softening the forehead, the brows and the corners of the eyes as one result. Our clinic is in Paramus, north of Clifton.
Wayne
Wayne Day was created to bring township residents together. Our practice brings aesthetics and medical care together in one physician-run clinic, and Botox is part of that care. Paramus, where we see patients, is east of Wayne.
Hackensack
The Hackensack Performing Arts Center hosts performances from live music to theater productions year-round. A stage asks for expression, and we place Botox so yours stays: the lines soften, and the face still moves. Hackensack is south of Paramus, home to our clinic.
Teaneck
Each summer, the Teaneck Community Band plays outdoor concerts at the Votee Park Bandshell. Botox is something patients return to as well, since its effect fades gradually and a return visit restores it. We offer it in Paramus, west of Teaneck.
Fort Lee
The George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee is the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge and the only suspension bridge with 14 vehicular lanes. Precision matters at that scale, and it matters in Botox, where each unit goes to a point mapped at your assessment. Our clinic is in Paramus, north of Fort Lee.
Fair Lawn
Fair Lawn's free Summer Concert Series plays Sunday evenings at 8 p.m. on Memorial Park's Robert "Scooter" Young Special Events Stage. If a concert evening is on your calendar, plan Botox with time to spare, because the softening develops gradually after treatment. Our clinic is in Paramus.
Garfield
The Garfield Multicultural Food & Music Festival was held at 20th Century Field on June 14, 2026. A festival like that celebrates many faces, and no two of our Botox plans are alike, because the areas and doses follow the face in front of us. Paramus, home to our clinic, is north of Garfield.
Englewood
The Englewood Night Market is an outdoor block party with more than 60 food and drink vendors. Botox leaves an evening like that free: the appointment is short, and nothing about it keeps you home afterward. Englewood is east of Paramus, where we offer it.
Bergenfield
Bergenfield's Memorial Day Parade lines up at Cooper's Pond, where the procession takes its shape before it moves. Botox with us takes shape the same way, at a medical assessment before the first injection. Paramus is home to our clinic.
Paramus
The Bergen Mall, now Bergen Town Center, opened on November 14, 1957, with Today Show host Dave Garroway as master of ceremonies. Our clinic is in Paramus too, in Bergen County, and it is where each Botox treatment happens, from assessment through follow-up.
Mahwah
In 2026, Mahwah's Fourth of July activities coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. A milestone like that calls for considered choices, and Botox is one: FDA-approved, and placed only after a medical assessment. Paramus is south of Mahwah.
Ridgewood
Ridgewood celebrates the Fourth of July with a parade, live music and food trucks at Veterans Field, and fireworks by Grucci. Photographs from a day like that are kept for years, and Botox planned with restraint lets the face in them look rested and unmistakably yours. Paramus is south of Ridgewood.
