Most patients are familiar with BOTOX® and its uses in relaxing frown lines and crow's feet. Our Los Angeles BOTOX is readily available for our clients who seek a younger appearance without a surgical procedure. Side effects are normally minimal. Los Angeles BOTOX treatment is an outpatient procedure that is done in a matter of minutes at our office.

Regular prices for Botox injections are listed below. Occasionally we run specials on injectables and send them out to our e-newsletter subscribers. Please note that while some offices require you to purchase it separately, Sunset provides numbing cream and/or numbing injections free of charge for all injectable treatments.

About BOTOX

top of page

Often described as the "fountain of youth," our Los Angeles BOTOX® treatment is the brand name for Botulinum Toxin Type A. BOTOX® was developed by dermatologists in 1980 to treat muscle disorders such as uncontrolled blinking and was later put to cosmetic uses for the first time in 1987. Currently, our Los Angeles BOTOX® treatment is being used primarily to treat frown lines, crow's feet and other wrinkles and fine lines that tend to accumulate over time and are the result of years of squinting and frowning. Our Los Angeles BOTOX® works on these wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles and results are seen just a few days following the Beverly Hills botox procedure.

BOTOX can also be very beneficial to people with excessive sweating (underarms, palms). On the hands, this condition is called hyperhidrosis, can be very bothersome for people, especially in professions where they are regularly required to shake hands. The treatment is simple and involves tiny injections of Botox on the palms. Results last for months at a time, and patients have reported a very high satisfaction rate. Special pricing for this area applies, so please ask when you call for your appointment.

 

Typical Recovery Time After BOTOX

top of page

Los Angeles Botox/Beverly Hills Restylane Typical Recovery Time: Our Beverly Hills Restylane treatment, Los Angeles BOTOX® injections and other fillers are done on an out patient basis with numbing cream as needed. Many patients come in on their lunch hour as these procedures only take 15-20 minutes (add 20-30 extra if you want numbing cream since it takes about that long to work). After your Los Angeles Botox treatment, you might have some redness or swelling. This will normally last for only a few hours-- a day or two at most, although everyone is different. Sun exposure should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappears.

 

BOTOX Pricing

BOTOX is regularly $250 per area or $12/unit. Glabella (where nose and forehead meet) is considered one area, crow's feet are one area, etc. 1st time patients to Sunset can request the Introductory Price of $200 per area. For non-facial areas, such as underarms or palms, special pricing applies, so please inquire when you call.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About BOTOX

top of page

IS BOTOX SAFE?
Absolutely!  Botox has been used for nearly 23 years on millions of patients in over 70 countries.  It is one of the safest, most researched and carefully monitored medications used worldwide.  It is actually safer than many common medications such as aspirin, insulin, or Tylenol used by millions of people daily.  Botox is only made by one manufacturer, Allergan Corporation, headquartered right here in Irvine, California.  We only use the authentic product which is very precisely produced in the laboratory.

WHERE DOES BOTOX COME FROM?
Like many medications, botox is created by nature, not invented by man.  Specifically, it is derived by a microorganism called clostridium botulinum, much like penicillin was discovered through a mold microorganism called penicillium notatum.  

WHAT DOES BOTOX DO?
Botox is a protein that blocks the microscopic signals from nerves to small muscles, allowing the muscle to relax and reduce spasm or over-activity.  Less hyperactivity of the muscle then reduces the lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin.  Also, by reducing the negative movements of facial muscles, botox can enhance the positive expressions in our face. Better facial expressions will make you look less tired, stressed, and angry. You will appear more relaxed, well-rested and energized.

WHERE DO YOU INJECT BOTOX?
Most cosmetic uses of botox are to minimize the lines and wrinkles in our forehead, the frown lines between the eyebrow, and the “crows feet” lines around the eyes.

IS BOTOX USED FOR NON-COSMETIC REASONS?
YES.  In fact, the vast majority of botox is used for treating serious medical conditions such as:

  • Hyperhydrosis [excessive sweating in arm pits or hands]
  • Migraine and tension headaches
  • Blepharospasm [eyelid spasm]
  • Strabismus [crossed eye problems]
  • Bladder incontinence
  • Back pain and spasm
  • Cervical dystonia [neck spasms]
  • Spacticity after strokes
  • Equinus foot deformity in cerebral palsy children

WILL I LOOK FROZEN?  
ABSOLUTELY NOT!  There is NO reason to look frozen or unnatural with properly injected botox.  Our goal is to always create a natural and refreshed look, with normal facial movement and expression. 

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED BOTOX? 
Like all medications, the duration of the effects depends on the dosage, the area of face injected, and each individual’s metabolism.  With proper dosage and injection technique, the cosmetic results should last 3 to 6 months. 

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS? 
Botox is extremely safe with very few, if any side effects. There are no known diseases or medical conditions caused by botox.  There are no permanent changes to your body with properly used botox.  In our expert hands, you have about a 1-2% chance of a small bruise at the injection site on the face.  There is a less than 1% chance of very minor and temporary eyelid drooping or heaviness.  In very rare cases, some experience temporary and mild flu-like symptoms or mild headaches that resolve by themselves.

I'VE HEARD SOME HORROR STORIES ABOUT BOTOX, ARE THEY TRUE? 
There was an unethical doctor a few years back who tried to save money using a fake imitation botox which lead to headline news and unfortunate consequences. Here at Sunset, we ONLY use real, certified botox. To ease your mind, we are happy to show you the vial, which always has an Allergan hologram on it that looks like the photo below. That way, you can ensure you are getting real botox.
