What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment option to reduce frustrating signs of aging. This treatment choice is non-surgical and minimally invasive, and it is effective at treating dynamic wrinkles.
Dynamic wrinkles are formed when you move your face and make facial expressions. BOTOX relaxes lines and prevents wrinkles from forming by acting as a neuromodulator, meaning it influences muscles and nerve signals. The nerve signals in the treatment area are prevented from reaching the muscles to enable them to contract and form wrinkles.
What Could I Expect from a Treatment Session?
BOTOX is an injectable treatment for effectively treating concerns and dynamic lines like:
- Crow’s feet
- Eyebrow lines
- Forehead lines
- Marionette lines
- Smile and frown lines
BOTOX injections are administered in the comfort of our California offices. There is little to no pain associated with the process, but you may experience a slight pinching at the injection site. These outpatient treatment sessions are generally short, but will vary based on treatment area. There is no set downtime associated with the procedure, and results are typically seen within a week.
It is important to have realistic expectations for this non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment option. While the results of BOTOX are beautiful and natural-looking, additional treatments may be necessary to maintain the best results. Results vary but can last up to four months, and a consultation with our professionals can help you develop the treatment plan best for you and your goals.
Am I a Good Candidate?
BOTOX is an excellent choice if you are looking to refresh your appearance without undergoing a surgical procedure. Botox is FDA-approved treatment is safe and effective for a variety of concerns, but a consultation with us in Roseville or San Diego will help determine if this injectable treatment is the right non-surgical choice for your goals and lifestyle.
It is important to keep in mind this is a neuromodulator, meaning it is only effective for treating specific types of lines. BOTOX can only be used on dynamic lines, meaning it only treats the results of natural facial movements and expressions. It cannot be used to treat other types of lines, such as smoker lines or lines from sun damage.
