Botox^® is changing the face of San Diego

Each time you frown or squint, facial muscles pull skin into folds. As you repeat these expressions many times, creases become etched into skin – elevens between the eyebrows, horizontal furrows on the forehead and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.

Botox® treats the source of these dynamic wrinkles. This purified protein is called a neuromodulator. It is injected into precise points on the face with a very fine needle, to interrupt signals from nerves that trigger muscle contractions.

As muscles relax, you see noticeable change within 48 hours and improvement continues for about two weeks. Results typically last up to four months. The satisfaction rate is high. Most patients schedule periodic touch-ups to maintain their refreshed, youthful appearance.

BENEFITS OF BOTOX®

• Well tolerated – Most patients say they feel a little pinch. Ice packs or topical numbing cream can be used for patients with very sensitive skin.
• Fast – An injection session typically takes about 15 minutes.
• Safe – Botox® is approved by the FDA, and 6.7 million procedures were performed in 2015.
• No downtime – You may return to work or other activities right after treatment.
