Botulinum Tox Injections
Refined. Relaxed. Effortlessly You.
Botulinum toxin injections are among the most widely recognized and extensively studied medical treatments in use today. Commonly referred to as “Botox,” these injections work by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, allowing for both cosmetic enhancement and meaningful therapeutic benefit. While many people associate botulinum toxin with wrinkle reduction, its medical applications extend far beyond aesthetics.
At Denali East Group, botulinum toxin injections are physician-administered and performed exclusively by a board-certified physician who is also certified by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) in botulinum toxin administration. Dr. Patel is one of very few — if not, the only — physician injector providing this level of unsurpassed medical expertise and experience locally. We utilize FDA-approved, high-quality botulinum toxin formulations to deliver effective, predictable results with a focus on safety, precision, and natural-looking outcomes.
Cosmetic Applications
Cosmetically, botulinum toxin is used to soften dynamic facial lines caused by repetitive muscle movement while preserving natural expression. Common treatment areas include:
Forehead lines
Frown lines between the eyebrows (“11s”)
Crow’s feet
Brow asymmetry or tension
Facial muscle overactivity contributing to a fatigued or stressed appearance
Softening and slimming square jaw line
Our approach emphasizes subtle, natural-looking results, conservative dosing, and thoughtful placement. The goal is refinement — not overcorrection.
Therapeutic & Medical Applications
As a physician, Dr. Patel is able to use botulinum toxin not only for cosmetic purposes but also as a therapeutic medical treatment for a variety of conditions. Depending on the patient and clinical indication, botulinum toxin may be used to help manage:
Chronic tension or migraine-type headaches
Bruxism (teeth grinding) and jaw clenching
Jaw tension or TMJ-related symptoms
Sinus-related facial pressure and muscle-driven pain
Focal muscle overactivity or spasticity
Therapeutic treatment plans are highly individualized and based on careful clinical assessment, anatomy, and symptom patterns. In many cases, patients experience meaningful symptom relief in addition to cosmetic improvement.
Physician-Led Precision
All botulinum toxin injections at Denali East Group are performed by Dr. Patel, a board-certified physician with specialized facial aesthetics training through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. This physician-led approach brings a level of medical judgment and precision that extends well beyond aesthetics alone.
Over the course of his medical career, Dr. Patel has performed many thousands of injections across the body in a wide range of clinical settings—refining technique, touch, and an advanced understanding of tissue planes, anatomy, and dosing nuance. That procedural experience directly informs a meticulous, deliberate approach to facial and therapeutic injections, where millimeters and units matter.
This model allows for:
Advanced anatomical understanding
Safer, more thoughtful dosing decisions
Expanded therapeutic applications when appropriate
Seamless integration of cosmetic and medical goals
We do not rely on preset dosing packages or cookie-cutter treatment plans. Every treatment begins with a thoughtful consultation and a clear discussion of goals, expectations, and options—ensuring results that are intentional, refined, and individualized.
What to Expect
All new patients will undergo an initial consultation with Dr. Patel. If the patient decides to move forward with a tox treatment, the $25 consultation fee is completely waived. Treatments are quick and typically take only a few minutes, with minimal downtime. Results generally begin to appear within several days and continue to improve over one to two weeks. Depending on the indication and individual metabolism, results commonly last three to four months.
Will Insurance Cover My Tox Treatment?
While cosmetic Botox is typically not covered by insurance, treatment may qualify for reimbursement when it is medically necessary. If you experience symptoms such as chronic headaches, migraines, jaw pain, TMJ discomfort, clenching, or teeth grinding (bruxism), your treatment may fall into a therapeutic category rather than purely aesthetic. What sets our practice apart from a traditional medspa is that we are a physician-led medical clinic. As a licensed physician, I am able to properly evaluate your symptoms, establish a medical diagnosis when appropriate, and thoroughly document the encounter in a way that supports insurance reimbursement. While coverage is never guaranteed and varies by plan, many patients appreciate the opportunity to submit their treatment for possible reimbursement — something most nurse-injector medspas are not able to offer. In many cases, patients are able to address their medical concerns while also enjoying the aesthetic benefits of botulinum toxin treatment, potentially with insurance covering all or part of the cost.

Concierge Botulinum Tox Gatherings
For select patients seeking a refined, private experience, Denali East Group offers exclusive botulinum tox treatment gatherings hosted in an intimate and discreet setting. Designed for small groups, these events provide the opportunity to enjoy personalized, physician-led treatments in a relaxed, social atmosphere—without compromising medical standards or privacy.

Private gatherings are offered on a limited basis to maintain an elevated experience and appropriate medical oversight. Hosts interested in arranging a gathering are invited to contact our office directly to discuss availability, bespoke event details, and pricing.
Why Choose Dr. Patel
Patients choose Dr. Patel for more than technical skill — they choose him for clinical judgment shaped by real-world experience. Over the course of his career, he has cared for more than 52,000 patients spanning the full spectrum of life, from extremely premature infants to adults over 100 years old. In addition to his background in pediatrics and adult medicine, Dr. Patel has personally treated and meticulously repaired thousands of traumatic lacerations, where precision, tissue handling, and attention to cosmetic outcome were critical. This experience has given him a refined appreciation for facial anatomy, balance, and results that must heal well and age gracefully.
Equally important, Dr. Patel believes that physician-led care does not end once the injection is complete. Should a patient experience a concern or complication related to treatment, they are not left navigating the system alone. Drawing on his extensive clinical experience, Dr. Patel provides direct access, continuity of care, and hands-on medical support, personally guiding patients through evaluation and management rather than defaulting to impersonal referrals to the ER. This commitment to accountability, availability, and follow-through is a key reason patients trust his care — and return.
