Turn back the clock with Botox Injections.

Botox is the #1 cosmetic treatment worldwide -- and for good reason. It’s safe, quick, minimally invasive, and delivers amazing results. One 15 minute session can take years off your face. The best part? You’ll still look like yourself, but better. Botox treatment works by relaxing the muscles that tend to furrow or tighten when you make certain facial expressions. Those expressions repeatedly fold your skin over time. Eventually, they turn into full-blown creases. Tiny injections of Botox can temporarily smooth away unwanted lines and wrinkles. You’ll still be able to make facial expressions, but Botox helps minimize extreme movements that age your skin. Afterward, your face will look younger, happier, and more rested.

Wear and tear is unavoidable in life. No matter how well you take care of your body, you’ll see the natural effects of age, worry, and stress on your skin. There’s nothing wrong with that -- after all, your experiences make you the person you are today. Still, most people find that a little extra self- care goes a long way.

Getting Botox treatments is a lot like wearing a beautifully tailored dress or custom-made suit: you’re bringing out the best in your appearance. You’re taking control of how you face the world. Beauty may come from the inside, but it’s a two-way street.

When you look great, you’ll feel more confidently you.

It’s universal. Because it’s such a safe, simple procedure. In Los Angeles Botox is a great choice for almost anybody.

It’s versatile. Botox isn’t just for fixing frown lines. It can lift, shape, and contour for amazing results.

You can customize the effect. Whether you’re looking for a subtle change or a transformation, your treatment plan can be adjusted to fit the bill.

It’s convenient. Botox is so quick that some people call it the “lunchtime facelift”. Afterward, you can immediately go back to your typical daily routine with very few restrictions.

It’s low commitment. If you aren’t sure whether Botox is right for you, don’t worry -- it isn’t permanent. If you don’t like it, the effects will wear off in a few months.

You can use it preventatively. Botox can be used to stop aging in its tracks. Started early enough, it can help prevent lines and wrinkles before they begin forming.

It’s easy. The procedure is mostly pain-free with barely any recovery time. No complex pre- or post-care instructions.

It’s a safer option. Botox is a lot less risky than more invasive procedures and surgeries, while still delivering fantastic results.

You should consider Botox if:

• People think you look angry, sad, or tired, even when you’re not.
• You look older on the outside than you feel on the inside.
• Visible signs of aging are slowing down your career.
• You’re unhappy about your severe crow’s feet, frown lines, or forehead lines.
• You’re just starting to show signs of age and you want to slow it down.
• There aren’t any lines or wrinkles at all yet, but you’d like to prevent them.
• You want to fix a “gummy” or downturned smile.
• You want to refine your brow shape or position.
• You’ve considered liposuction around your jawline, but would prefer something less invasive.
• You have drooping or hooded skin around your eyes.
• You’re embarrassed about excessive body sweat.
• You want a fast, simple “pick-me-up” to refresh your appearance.

How Many Units of Botox for Forehead?

 A  unit of Botox refers to the amount of Botox injection that is administered into the specific target area. How many units of Botox per area will depend on what results you wish to achieve.  How many Botox units for forehead will depend on what you want to be addressed, whether it’s your frown lines and/or the creases on your forehead. The manufacturer of Botox suggests 20 units. Many experts, however, recommend 10-30 units.  Experts recommend that Botox injection for the forehead should be combined with treating the glabella. This will help prevent flattening of the eyebrow which is usually what happens when Botox is only applied to the forehead.

How Long Does It Take Botox To Work?

 When Botox is injected into specific muscles in your body, it blocks the release of acetylcholine resulting in local muscle paralysis. How long does it take for Botox to work will vary. But the effect usually occurs 24 hours to 2 weeks after Botox injection.   It will be followed by 1-4 weeks of maximum effect, which will resolve after 3-4 months. To prolong the effects of Botox from six months to one year, the treatment should be repeated for one year or more.  The number of injections needed depends on many factors, including the extent of the area being treated.  For the first 24 hours, avoid rubbing or massaging the areas where Botox has been administered. This may help prevent the toxin from spreading to a different area. You can return to your normal activities right after the procedure.

 How Long Does Botox Last?

Depending on your problem, the effect of Botox may last for three months or longer.¹  You will be advised to return for regular follow-up injections to maintain the effect. If it’s your first Botox injection, the effect may not be as long. However, the effect may last longer after the second treatment. Take note that it’s a unique experience for everyone and Botox results may vary.  With long-term Botox treatment, the development of imprinted facial lines that are distinctly visible at rest can be prevented. ³ A study on the long-term effects of Botox on facial lines showed that treatment was well tolerated, with no adverse events reported during 13 years of regular treatment.⁴

 How long Botox lasts will depend on several factors including:

• Age
• Gender
• Muscle mass
• Injection technique
• Toxin dilution
• Volume of the solution
• Positioning of the injection

Preventative Botox

What better way to altogether prevent fine lines and wrinkles than to start early with preventative Botox! Indeed, many people and experts believe that administering Botox to the muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and eyebrows before they develop, could actually prevent them from happening. Slowing down the use of these muscles can prevent lines from developing or at least delay their onset. Preventative Botox is commonly used in the forehead and glabellar area (the space between the brows). When the development of deep lines is prevented, it can make you look younger and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does Botox hurt?

  Patients generally say that the injection feels slightly uncomfortable, like a quick prick. If you’re concerned about pain, let our provider know -- the area can be temporarily numbed with a topical cream to minimize any discomfort.

• How long until Botox works?

  You’ll see the results begin to show within about 24-48 hours after the procedure. By 3-5 days afterwards, most of the Botox effects will have developed, although it can take up to two weeks for the treatment to take full effect. 

• How do I know it’s safe?

  It has an excellent track record of being safe and effective. The FDA approved Botox for medical and therapeutic use in 1989. In 2002, it was approved by the FDA for cosmetic uses. Since it went on the market, Botox has been backed by over 15 years of clinical study and 495 peer-reviewed scientific articles.

• After the procedure, how long does it take for Botox to work?

  Your results will start to show up 24-48 hours after treatment and continue to take effect over the next two weeks.

• How long does Botox last before it wears off?

  Everyone’s body is different -- how often to get Botox will depend on what area was treated and your own unique biology. You’ll probably see the treated area start going back to its pre-Botox condition after 3-4 months.

• Are there any risks with getting Botox shots?

  Botox has been shown to be relatively safe. Like any procedure, however, there’s some amount of risk. Though they’re rare, there have been complications reported in a small percentage of cases. Most side effects are temporary and go away on their own.

  The most common reported side effects are:

  • Headache
  • Eyelid ptosis (drooping eyelid)
  • Eyelid edema (swollen eyelid)
  • Brow ptosis (drooping brow)

  Make sure you tell your provider about any health conditions and medications during your pre procedure consultation.

• Botox Lips - Can you inject Botox in lips to make them plumper?

  Because Botox affects the actions of muscles in the face, Botox around the mouth can be used to correct “gummy” and downturned smiles. Botox does not add volume to the lips, however. For plumping lips and other areas of the face, our My Botox LA Med Spa specialists prefer to use dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restalyn. Speak with one of our specialists to learn more about which treatment options are best for you.

• I have eyebags -- can you use Botox under eyes?

  Even though it’s used to treat muscles around the brow area, Botox is not recommended (or effective) for the delicate area beneath the eyes. To lift the undereyes, My Botox LA Med Spa specialists prefer to use PRP or Belotero. Speak with one of our specialists to learn more about which treatment options are best for you.

• Dysport vs Botox -- which is better? How about Botox vs Xeomin?

  All three are derived from botulinum toxin type A, and they all work pretty much the same way. There are some small differences in their formulas, however. Xeomin is made without any additives, while Dysport has smaller molecules. Botox has been on the market longest and is the most widely studied. My Botox LA Med Spa offers all three. Ask us which one is best for you

  Since everyone’s body is different, some patients find that one formula may work better for them than the others. Most patients do not experience a difference. For more information, speak with your provider during your treatment consultation.

• Who makes Botox?

  Botox is made by Allergan, a large multinational pharmaceutical company. Allergan distributes Botox to 96 countries around the world.

• I only want to come in for Botox, is there a minimum?

  If you are only coming in for Botox injections we have a 20 unit minimum. If you are getting other treatments there is no minimum.
