Botox & Neuromodulator Injections in Tampa
Botox and other neuromodulators remain the most popular cosmetic procedure in the country — and for good reason. A skilled injection with the right dose gives natural, refreshed results without the frozen look. Dr. Sergay offers precise, artful Botox treatments tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Natural, Refreshed Results
How Botox Works
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and other neuromodulators — Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify — temporarily relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles: the lines that form from repeated facial expressions like squinting, frowning, and raising the brows. The treatment takes minutes, requires no downtime, and results last 3–5 months.
The key to great Botox is precise placement and appropriate dosing. Too little leaves results unnoticeable. Too much creates the “frozen” appearance most patients want to avoid. Dr. Sergay evaluates your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and goals to determine exactly where and how much to inject.
Botox is also used medically for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and has emerging applications in treating rosacea flushing and some types of chronic pain — reflecting the broad versatility of this FDA-approved treatment.

What We Treat
Botox Treatment Areas
Botox can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns. Dr. Sergay will assess your anatomy and recommend the areas most likely to benefit from treatment.
Forehead Lines
Most RequestedHorizontal lines across the forehead caused by frontalis muscle movement. Best treated with conservative dosing to preserve natural brow movement and avoid heaviness.
Glabella ("11s")
High ImpactThe vertical lines between the brows that form from frowning. One of the highest-satisfaction treatment areas — eliminating these lines creates a more relaxed, approachable appearance without looking done.
Crow's Feet
Very PopularFine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes from squinting and smiling. Small doses create a significant improvement in eye area appearance and are one of the most natural-looking Botox results.
Brow Lift
Subtle LiftStrategic relaxation of the brow depressors allows the frontalis to lift the outer brow, creating a subtle lift without surgery. Ideal for patients with mild brow ptosis or a tired-looking appearance.
Bunny Lines
Detail WorkDiagonal wrinkles on the sides of the nose that appear when scrunching. Often appear after other areas are treated. Small doses address these lines while maintaining natural nose movement.
Jawline / Masseter
Slimming + TMJBotox injected into the masseter muscle can slim a wide or square jawline and provide significant relief for jaw clenching and TMJ pain. Results develop over 4–6 weeks as the muscle gradually softens.
Neck Bands (Platysma)
Neck RejuvenationNefertiti lift — Botox along the platysmal bands of the neck softens vertical neck cords and provides a subtle lift to the lower face and jawline without surgery.
Hyperhidrosis (Underarms)
Medical UseFDA-approved use of Botox to block the nerves that trigger sweat glands in the underarms, palms, or feet. Dramatically reduces excessive sweating for 6–12 months per treatment.
The Process
What to Expect
From first consultation through maintenance, here's how the Botox experience works at Sergay Dermatology.
Consultation
Dr. Sergay evaluates your facial anatomy, reviews your goals, and discusses which areas and products will give you the best outcome. First-time patients receive a thorough orientation to what realistic results look like.
Treatment
Tiny injections are administered with a fine needle. Most patients describe it as a quick pinch. The full treatment takes 15–30 minutes. No anesthesia is needed, though a topical numbing cream can be applied if preferred.
Immediate Aftercare
Avoid lying flat and vigorous exercise for 4 hours post-treatment. Minor redness or pinpoint bruising may occur at injection sites. No rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours.
Results Develop
Botox doesn't work instantly. Results begin appearing within 3–5 days and reach full effect at 2 weeks. A follow-up appointment can be scheduled to evaluate results and address any asymmetry.
Maintenance
Results typically last 3–5 months. Regular treatment helps train muscles and may extend the interval between sessions over time. Many patients find results improve with consistent treatment.
