Botox®& Neuromodulators at DeRosa Dermatology, Bucks County PA
Look refreshed, not different.
Dr. Ivy DeRosa delivers expert results to smooth fine lines while preserving your natural expressions.
Small Change, Big Confidence
Neuromodulators (commonly known by the brand name Botox®) are the #1 cosmetic treatment in the US and are often the first cosmetic treatment our patients select because they deliver quick, natural results, with no downtime.
When expertly applied, neuromodulators can rejuvenate the face, neck and décolletage, pairing beautifully with other aesthetic treatments for enhanced, balanced, natural-looking results.
At DeRosa Dermatology we offer a complete range of neuromodulator formulations, each selected for its unique onset time, strength, and duration, allowing Dr. DeRosa to tailor treatments precisely to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Our most popular treatments include:
Forehead lines and frown lines (“11s”) – Soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expression.
Crow’s feet – Smooth fine lines around the eyes for a brighter, more rested appearance.
Brow lift – Gently elevates the outer brow for a refreshed look.
Lip flip – Subtly relaxes the upper lip muscle so more of the pink lip shows when you smile—enhancing shape without filler.
Chin dimpling and jawline tension – Smooths uneven texture and refines jawline definition.
Neck bands and décolletage lines – Improves vertical neck bands and smooths crepey skin on the chest for a more youthful profile.
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) - Applied to the underarms targeting overactive sweat glands.

Botox is a medical procedure, one that requires detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, dosing precision, and artistry in balance. Each treatment is personalized to your unique features, ensuring your results are refined, natural, and beautifully you.

A Board-certified injector is trained to:
Customize dosing to your unique facial anatomy
Maintain natural balance and expression

Subtle, Natural Results

More Applications Than Wrinkles
Neuromodulators also treat additional medical concerns such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and jaw clenching (TMJ).
Timing is Everything
At DeRosa Dermatology, we also offer preventative neuromodulators (also known as “Baby Botox”), for patients who want to soften fine lines before they become permanent.
Unlike traditional full-dose neuromodulator treatments, preventative treatments use micro-doses strategically placed to relax facial muscles just enough to smooth skin while keeping your expressions completely natural.
This gentle approach results in an “airbrushed” effect that is ideal for those wanting to smooth faint lines on the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes.
By addressing these early signs of aging, preventative treatments helps you age gracefully, delaying the need for more corrective treatments later.
If you’re new to Botox or looking to maintain smooth, youthful skin with a lighter touch, our preventative Botox treatments deliver fresh, balanced results that look completely effortless.

Botox FAQ’s
How much does Botox cost?
Pricing depends on the number of areas treated and how many units are needed, which will vary patient-to-patient. We’ll provide a transparent estimate before we begin. Most first-time patients spend between $300–$600 covering multiple treatment areas.
How does Botox reduce wrinkles?
Botox works by temporarily relaxing overactive facial muscles. When those muscles stop contracting as strongly, the skin above them smooths out—softening frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles.
Does Botox hurt?
Botox treatments are very well tolerated. The injections are done with an ultra-fine needle, so discomfort is minimal—most patients describe it as a quick pinch. Treatments are quick and require no downtime.
How many Botox units will I need?
The number of units depends on the treatment area and your unique facial anatomy. For example, crow’s feet usually require fewer units than a full forehead. At your consultation, we’ll create a customized plan based on your goals with clear pricing estimates.
Are there any side effects of Botox?
Side effects are minimal and temporary. The most common are slight redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising at the injection site, which typically resolve within 24–48 hours.
How soon can I return to normal activities after Botox?
You can return to work or daily activities immediately after treatment. The only restrictions are to avoid strenuous exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated area for about 4 hours.
What’s the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by expressions. Dermal fillers restore lost volume or enhance features like lips and cheeks. Many patients choose both for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Can Botox prevent wrinkles from forming?
Yes! Botox is popular with both men and women who want to soften existing lines or prevent new ones from forming. Many patients start in their 20s or 30s as a preventative measure, while others begin later in life to refresh their appearance. If you’re noticing forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet—even when your face is at rest—Botox may be the right choice.
How often should I get Botox?
Results start to appear in 3–5 days, with full effect in about 2 weeks. Most patients schedule Botox every 3–4 months to maintain results. Over time, some people may find they need less frequent treatments as their muscles adapt.
Can men get Botox?
Absolutely. Botox is one of the fastest-growing cosmetic treatments for men. Many choose it to maintain a refreshed, professional appearance while still looking natural.
What makes Botox at DeRosa Dermatology different?
At DeRosa Dermatology, treatments are performed by Dr. Ivy DeRosa, a Board-Certified Dermatologist and Expert Injector who specializes in natural-looking results. Our approach ensures you look refreshed, never frozen or overdone.
