What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a leading neuromodulator that addresses vertical frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet, or fine lines that form around the eyes. It also has many other medical uses, including the treatment of excessive sweating, spasms, and migraines. 

While fillers typically address static lines, BOTOX focuses on dynamic wrinkles resulting from repetitive facial movements like frowning, smiling, squinting, and laughing. The neurotoxin in BOTOX temporarily disables contractions in the facial muscles, preventing wrinkles from forming.


What concerns can be addressed with BOTOX?

  • Glabellar lines
  • Frown lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Bunny lines
  • Creases in the chin
  • Mouth corners

Am I a candidate for BOTOX?

Most patients are good candidates for BOTOX in Orange County due to its non-invasiveness and lack of downtime. Individuals who wish to achieve a more youthful aesthetic by erasing dynamic wrinkles will likely qualify to receive BOTOX, provided that they are:

  • Over 18
  • Physically and mentally healthy
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Free from neuromuscular diseases

What can I expect from my results?

Patients usually see positive changes emerge within about four days after their BOTOX injections. Full results will be visible within around two weeks, and improvements with BOTOX tend to last 3-5 months on average. 

Patients who wish to maintain a naturally youthful and rejuvenated appearance over time can schedule recurring BOTOX appointments with our team in Orange County. If a patient discontinues using BOTOX, the facial appearance returns to how it was before treatment, with lines and creases reemerging.

What will my BOTOX treatment entail?

Prior to your treatment, you will undergo a private consultation with our team to determine your goals and discuss whether BOTOX is a good fit. On the day of your appointment, BOTOX will be carefully injected into the strategic points selected as part of your individualized treatment plan. Only the wrinkle-producing muscles are targeted, preserving the spontaneity of your facial expressions. Treatment time is typically 15-20 minutes.
