Dr. Anju Pabby is a board-certified dermatologist at DC Derm Docs who has injected Botox for 15 years and trained other injectors for the cosmetic companies. For natural-looking Botox injections in Washington, DC, she starts each new patient at a lower dose, treats only the muscles pulling the lines you point to, and checks the result at two weeks.
Do Natural-Looking Botox Injections in Washington, DC Mean Fewer Units?
Typically, yes, at least at the first visit. At the start of your consultation, you’ll have a chance to show Dr. Pabby the photos from your last treatment and describe what went wrong, whether your forehead went flat or your brows felt stuck. Then, she’ll ask you to raise your brows and frown to see which muscles are pulling.
Can Dr. Pabby Adjust My Botox Based on My Last Treatment?
Yes. Bring a photo from the week your last treatment peaked, and you and Dr. Pabby will compare it with your face in the mirror. Subsequently, she’ll typically keep the lower forehead lighter than your last injector did, so your brows can still lift. Northern Virginia Magazine has included her in its Top Doctors list.
How Do I Avoid Looking Frozen and Still See My Botox Work?
By treating the lines you see and leaving the rest. According to the American Academy of Dermatology’s botulinum toxin overview, the first results show up in three to seven days. Rest assured, you’ll be back in Dr. Pabby’s chair at two weeks, once the full effect is in. Keep in mind that a little movement at rest is what keeps you looking like you.

In the event a line still shows at your two-week check, she’ll add a few units in about five minutes.
How Long Do Natural Results Last?
Up to four to five months, and slightly less at a lighter dose.
Is Dysport an Option for a Softer Look?
Yes. Dr. Pabby offers Dysport as well, which lasts three to five months.
