Often described as the "fountain of youth," our Los Angeles
BOTOX treatment is the brand name for Botulinum Toxin Type
A. BOTOX® was developed originally to treat muscle
disorders such as uncontrolled blinking. After it was found to be effective in reducing wrinkles, it was later approved for this cosmetic use by the FDA in 2002. Read more about the History and Usage of Botox.
Our Los Angeles Botox
treatment is used primarily to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, crow's feet
and other wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead and around the lips that tend to accumulate over time, as a result of years of squinting and frowning. Our Los Angeles
BOTOX® works on these wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying
muscles and results are usually seen just a few days. For more information, please visit Am I A Candidate for Botox?
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, and patients
have reported a very high satisfaction rate. Special pricing for
this area applies, so please ask when you call for your appointment.
Los Angeles Botox Recovery Time:
Our Los Angeles BOTOX injections
and other fillers are done on an outpatient basis with complimentary 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.
Here are some of the questions we hear most. For additional FAQs about Botox, please visit our Botox Los Angeles FAQ page.
Is Botox safe?
When Botox is administered by a trained and experienced professional, it is safe. 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, which are 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 Botox product, which is very precisely produced in the laboratory.
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 helps reduce 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. Many patients are amazed by how effective these minor adjustments are to make them look less tired, old, stressed or angry. The effects of Botox promote a more relaxed, well-rested appearance.
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. The image below shows the most common injection sites for botox on the face.
Will I look frozen?
There is no reason to look frozen or unnatural with properly injected botox. The goal of our well-experienced Los Angels botox experts is to create a natural and refreshed look, with natural 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.
What are the side effects of Botox?
Botox is extremely safe with very few reported side effects. Some reported side effects have included swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, inflammation, pain, and infection at the site of injection. There are no known diseases or medical conditions caused by Botox. Some people experience a temporary mild headache after treatment. In our practice, we see about a 1-2% rate for minor small bruising at the injection site on the face, and a less than 1% rate of very minor and temporary eyelid drooping or heaviness. In very rare cases, some experience temporary and mild flu-like symptoms which 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, our botox Los Angeles experts 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.
