Botox San Diego | Best Botox Results La Jolla

BOTOX or botulinum toxin A has been in practical use for decades. It is one of the world’s most popular injectables for unsightly lines between the brows, on forehead, crow’s feet and other facial areas. BOTOX is injected into the facial muscle and attaches itself to nerve endings to block the nerve transmitters in that muscle. This may take from two to ten days and when it happens, the muscle cannot contract, which eliminates “dynamic wrinkles” – these are caused by constant muscle motion. The skin above this muscle then smooths, leading to a more rested, rejuvenated facial appearance.

How Long Does A BOTOX Treatment Last?

It can take up to 2 weeks to see the results of a BOTOX treatment and those results may last up to four months. The longevity of the treatment depends upon a few factors:

How much BOTOX was initially injected
Your metabolic activity and general physical activity
Lifestyle choices including diet and physical environment
Your skin type
Sun exposure

BOTOX has been clinically shown to be safe. BOTOX is a temporary treatment and when its effects are gone, they are gone completely with nothing residual remaining in your body. BOTOX has a well-earned reputation for being an effective, trusted, and reliable anti-wrinkle treatment.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

Most patients find the BOTOX injection tolerable, but you can have your skin numbed beforehand if you are extremely sensitive or if your treatment area is sensitive such as the soles of your feet or palms (for treatment of excessive sweating).

You will need to tell us if you have had BOTOX injections more recently than 4 months ago. The injection needle is very fine. The number of injections your treatment will require depends upon how broad an area is being treated and the depth of the wrinkles and creases you want to smooth.

You will be able to go home immediately after the procedure is done and resume your normal activities. We will advise you about any restrictions to avoid during the first week or so.

Generally, a BOTOX treatment is safe and relatively comfortable. Rarely, some patients may experience some post injection pain or swelling or bruising.

At what age can you start getting BOTOX treatments?

Generally, between the ages of 35 and 40. Specific needs may make earlier treatment appropriate.

How long does a treatment last?

A standard BOTOX treatment can take up to two weeks to take full effect. The maximum effect can occur at about the two-week mark. The effect often lasts for three months and sometimes longer.

How much BOTOX is used to treat facial wrinkles?
