Turn back the hands of time. With Dr. Ringler’s subtle BOTOX injections, men and women of all ages can smooth away facial wrinkles – restoring a naturally relaxed expression.
What is Botox®?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most common cosmetic treatment undergone by both women and men in Grand Rapids. BOTOX is a protein administered in the muscles of the forehead or crow’s feet around the eyes. Once in place, it selectively decreases muscle function and prevents the formation of wrinkling and deep lines.
In this way, BOTOX Cosmetic improves the appearance and decreases the prominence of existing frown lines, forehead furrows and crow’s feet. Injections are usually repeated every three to four months to maintain results.

The procedure
What to expect
Our Michigan BOTOX injections are performed during a comfortable, in-office appointment. To begin, one of our expert injectors will ask you to make a series of facial expressions so they know where to place the injections. From there, they will administer the BOTOX directly into the areas of your fine lines and wrinkles. No anesthesia is required, and you will be able to return to work and your normal daily routine right away. The entire experience will take about ten minutes.
What do I need to know about BOTOX®?
- Results are not permanent. The treatment area will need to be reinjected every 3 to 6 months to maintain your youthful new look.
- Common side effects include mild bruising and numbness. These effects are minimal and short in duration.
- You should understand that all cosmetic procedures carry the potential for risks, which will be fully discussed with you during your private consultation at our Michigan office.
Am I a candidate?
If you want to look younger and improve your appearance, BOTOX may be right for you. By minimizing animation and frown lines, the treatment can correct a tired and angry expression – restoring a youthful look. In addition, Michigan men and women who suffer from migraine headaches or hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) may also consider BOTOX as a treatment option.
Patient Testimonials
“Had some Botox, some coolsculpting and of course ultherapy here. Great staff and Dr. Ringler is very personable. Considering having a blepharoplasty done here. Staff always takes their time with me and answers all my questions.”
“I am so happy with my experience here! Sarah is so knowledgeable and friendly. She always listens to my desired appearance and knows exactly what I need to get there. I would definitely recommend her and this office!”
“I cannot say enough good about both Dr. Ringler and his staff. I have been a patient for several years and everyone is always professional and welcoming. I get Botox and fillers, and have recommended several friends to this office for a variety of procedures because I know they will be well taken care of!”
“I had just recently moved back to the Grand Rapids area 2 years ago and contacted Dr. Ringlers office to set up appointments for Botox and Dermaplane treatments. I already had a sense of loyalty to the office as Dr. Ringler performed a face lift on my mother over 20 years ago and she had received excellent care and wonderful results. I am a regular patient of Lisa’s for skin care treatments. I have recently experienced a huge change in my skin due to hormones and she was a true savior! Her facials, treatments and recommended products from the office have turned my skin back around. Her knowledge and expertise on skin care is amazing. She is also extremely personable and compassionate and truly cares about how you feel and want to feel after leaving the office. I highly recommended her and the whole office.”
“Dr.Ringler and his entire staff are very professional, honest and knowledgeable! Dr.Ringler truly looks out for the best interest of his patients. I was pleasantly surprised by his genuine care, I have gone to other plastic surgeons and I didn't feel like they were looking out for my best interests. It was more about the money, but Dr. Ringler honestly cared about what was best for me and is honest and that's why I will continue to go to him if I need anything, not to mention he's the best at what he does!!”

Alternative BOTOX treatments
BOTOX has received FDA approval as a treatment for migraine headaches. If you suffer from migraine headaches, BOTOX may be of help to you. As it is not a permanent cure for migraines, the injections typically need to be repeated every three or four months. There may be a lessening or absence of symptoms while the muscles remain relaxed while the BOTOX is active.
BOTOX has also been approved as a treatment for hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. If you are one of many Michigan men and women who are embarrassed by excessive underarm sweating, BOTOX can safely and effectively treat the problem. Typically, the injections need to be repeated about twice a year to maintain your results. For many patients, not worrying about overactive sweating does a great deal to boost their self-confidence and avoid embarrassment.
