BOTOX® in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is BOTOX?
Every time you look at your face in a mirror, are you concerned about wrinkles and creases on your brow and around your eyes? Known as dynamic wrinkles, these skin issues occur due to repeated facial movements, like frowning, smiling, and squinting. As people become more mature, these lines ultimately become more pronounced and can make them appear less youthful. Thanks to BOTOX Cosmetic, we can often temporarily minimize the development of moderate to severe frown lines, Crow's feet, and forehead creases. BOTOX is a specialized type A strain of botulinum toxin. It works to temporarily block the muscles that cause those contractions, letting the overlying skin recover on its own. At Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe and Dr. Pejman Aflaki are pleased to offer BOTOX injections as a minimally invasive solution to help patients attain a smoother, refreshed result. We invite you to call our office in Fredericksburg, VA for more information about BOTOX Cosmetic.
How Does BOTOX Work?
During your first treatment consultation at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, a cosmetic assessment will be performed to decide which areas require treatment. Since BOTOX is performed during a fast, outpatient service, your injections can commonly be administered in the same visit. The formula will be injected into the specified areas of your forehead or upper face using a fine-gauge needle. BOTOX treatment takes about ten minutes to carry out, and most people notice only minor discomfort (such as a pinprick or pinching feeling). Following your visit, you are welcome to leave our facility and go about your day.
What Are The Benefits Of BOTOX?
Fine lines and facial folds can distract from our better attributes and make us appear older than we are. BOTOX is a good choice for helping you attain a more youthful, polished aesthetic. Although the results are not permanent, you will reap the benefits for several months before needing a follow-up treatment. Patients may also get added benefits from BOTOX at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, such as:
- Minimal discomfort: BOTOX injections employ a very small needle, making treatments seem like a small pinch of the skin.
- Rapid treatment sessions: The BOTOX procedures may take as little as ten minutes.
- Very little rest or rehab: Due to the minimally invasive qualities, you can resume your everyday schedule following treatment.
- Easy maintenance: Patients who wish to maintain their results semi-permanently will notice that follow-up treatment appointments are brief and realistic for everyday schedules.
Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
Dr. Aflaki was my surgeon for my upper eyelid surgery and I can't say enough good things about the doctor and the staff (and my results!). Everyone was friendly and professional and all my questions were answered and my concerns addressed.
Best Experience! - Dr Aflaki is absolutely an amazing and talented surgeon. I have been to 3 others so I can honestly say he is one of the best. I trust him completely, he knows what he is doing. All of my incisions are healing so nicely. I am so impressed and just like WOW! He is non intimidating, he is calm, patient, he listens very carefully. His closures on the incisions are amazing, and that leads to minimal scarring. You do need to do your part and stay hydrated, eat lots of protein during recovery and listen to what they tell you. From day 1 I was like WOW! Little tiny lines, like thin lines, and now healing flat and getter lighter everyday. I am so happy. So relieved and will totally have surgery with him again in the future for sure. He is honest, he doesn’t push and he is very real. Everyone is the office is so nice, down to earth and they all care. Day of surgery was so easy. I didn’t wake up in pain at all. The pain was so very minimal, and I was very scared of that and I shouldn’t have been. He and his staff are there if you need him during recovery. I highly recommend him and his team.
Dr Aflaki is a truly amazing surgeon! His bedside manners are calm, genuine, real, very knowledgeable, patient, he listens very carefully and he is not intimidating at all. He redid my breasts after having to have a lumpectomy elsewhere. I now at 53 have the most beautiful breasts ever!! They are straight, full and I have feeling in them, not numb at all, I am so beyond happy and relieved. The whole process I was not nervous, I had 1000% faith in him and his team. It was sooooooooooo very easy and I wished I had not waited so long for this. The scaring is so minimal and I am just amazed. His closure and suturing are the best. He knows what he is doing and that is why I am healing so nicely because of how he performs his closures and following orders to be careful and not active during recovery!! I am so very thankful to him and to his team. They are all so very professional, non intimidating and real.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Aflaki. From the very first consultation, he was incredibly kind. Before my tummy tuck, 360 lipo, and lipo to my arms, he even gave me a reassuring hug — something so small, but it showed how deeply he cares about his patients as people, not just procedures.His technique is truly exceptional — my incision line healed smooth and even, a clear reflection of his skill and precision.I’ve never understood why people travel to Miami or overseas for these surgeries when so many end up disappointed — we have an incredible surgeon right here near D.C. who takes true pride in his work and genuinely values his patients.The level of detail, precision, and artistry he brings is amazing. He makes sure you feel fully supported every step of the way. You can tell he wants you to LOVE your results, and he goes above and beyond to make that happen.With Dr. Aflaki, you never feel like it’s about profit — his passion, pride, and genuine love for the art of plastic surgery shined through in my results.
I got my breast augmentation done 24 years ago and they're still fantastic. My nanny got hers done when she was 23, she 34 now, hers are amazing. He's the best!

Frequently Asked Questions
How many BOTOX injections will i need?
The number of BOTOX treatments provided will differ based on individual concerns and the extent of your wrinkles. Dr. Heppe can determine the appropriate number of BOTOX units according to your targeted treatment outcomes and whether you want to address the forehead, Crow's feet, or between the eyes. To keep up with your cosmetic results, our practitioners might recommend receiving BOTOX procedures every few months at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg.
Can BOTOX be paired with additional aesthetic procedures?
BOTOX treatment often pairs well with other aesthetic solutions at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg for individuals who prefer to address aging concerns. If you notice more extensive and pronounced facial wrinkles and lines, our team might suggest adding a filler for maximum outcomes. To further maximize your youthful, radiant appearance, Dr. Heppe might discuss additional complementary treatments, like skin resurfacing or dermal fillers.
Is there a difference between fillers and wrinkle relaxers?
Although wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, are used to diminish fine lines by temporarily freezing your muscle engagement, fillers are a distinct category of cosmetic injections that improve volume in the face. Dermal fillers are intended to volumize gaunt-looking features and fill in static wrinkles. Dr. Heppe can ascertain if you would benefit from a filler (such as JUVÉDERM® or Restylane®) to further enhance your BOTOX results.
