Botox is the #1 cosmetic treatment worldwide -- and for good reason. It’s safe, quick, minimally invasive, and delivers amazing results. One 15 minute session can take years off your face. The best part? You’ll still look like yourself, but better. Botox treatment works by relaxing the muscles that tend to furrow or tighten when you make certain facial expressions. Those expressions repeatedly fold your skin over time. Eventually, they turn into full-blown creases. Tiny injections of Botox can temporarily smooth away unwanted lines and wrinkles. You’ll still be able to make facial expressions, but Botox helps minimize extreme movements that age your skin. Afterward, your face will look younger, happier, and more rested.

Wear and tear is unavoidable in life. No matter how well you take care of your body, you’ll see the natural effects of age, worry, and stress on your skin. There’s nothing wrong with that -- after all, your experiences make you the person you are today. Still, most people find that a little extra self- care goes a long way.

Getting Botox treatments is a lot like wearing a beautifully tailored dress or custom-made suit: you’re bringing out the best in your appearance. You’re taking control of how you face the world. Beauty may come from the inside, but it’s a two-way street.

When you look great, you’ll feel more confidently you.

Botox for wrinkles is the gold standard worldwide. In experienced hands, however, it can be so much more. My Botox LA Med Spa’s specialists use precision applications of Botox to shape, smooth, sculpt, and rejuvenate your face. No invasive surgical procedures necessary.

You get real results, fast. Botox treatment does what good skincare just can’t. You’ll see noticeable improvements within a week or two.

People will notice, but they won’t know. After getting Botox, you’ll receive compliments from friends and coworkers about how happy and rested you look. Our professionals at My Botox LA Med Spa know how to achieve a subtle, natural effect that remains discreet.

It’s universal. Because it’s such a safe, simple procedure. In Los Angeles Botox is a great choice for almost anybody.

It’s versatile. Botox isn’t just for fixing frown lines. It can lift, shape, and contour for amazing results.

You can customize the effect. Whether you’re looking for a subtle change or a transformation, your treatment plan can be adjusted to fit the bill.

It’s convenient. Botox is so quick that some people call it the “lunchtime facelift”. Afterward, you can immediately go back to your typical daily routine with very few restrictions.

It’s low commitment. If you aren’t sure whether Botox is right for you, don’t worry -- it isn’t permanent. If you don’t like it, the effects will wear off in a few months.

You can use it preventatively. Botox can be used to stop aging in its tracks. Started early enough, it can help prevent lines and wrinkles before they begin forming.

It’s easy. The procedure is mostly pain-free with barely any recovery time. No complex pre- or post-care instructions.

It’s a safer option. Botox is a lot less risky than more invasive procedures and surgeries, while still delivering fantastic results.

It has a proven track record. Botox has successfully treated millions of patients around the world for over 16 years.

You should consider Botox if:

• People think you look angry, sad, or tired, even when you’re not.
• You look older on the outside than you feel on the inside.
• Visible signs of aging are slowing down your career.
• You’re unhappy about your severe crow’s feet, frown lines, or forehead lines.
• You’re just starting to show signs of age and you want to slow it down.
• There aren’t any lines or wrinkles at all yet, but you’d like to prevent them.
• You want to fix a “gummy” or downturned smile.
• You want to refine your brow shape or position.
• You’ve considered liposuction around your jawline, but would prefer something less invasive.
• You have drooping or hooded skin around your eyes.
• You’re embarrassed about excessive body sweat.
• You want a fast, simple “pick-me-up” to refresh your appearance.

A unit of Botox refers to the amount of Botox injection that is administered into the specific target area. How many units of Botox per area will depend on what results you wish to achieve. How many Botox units for forehead will depend on what you want to be addressed, whether it’s your frown lines and/or the creases on your forehead. The manufacturer of Botox suggests 20 units. Many experts, however, recommend 10-30 units. Experts recommend that Botox injection for the forehead should be combined with treating the glabella. This will help prevent flattening of the eyebrow which is usually what happens when Botox is only applied to the forehead.

When Botox is injected into specific muscles in your body, it blocks the release of acetylcholine resulting in local muscle paralysis. How long does it take for Botox to work will vary. But the effect usually occurs 24 hours to 2 weeks after Botox injection. It will be followed by 1-4 weeks of maximum effect, which will resolve after 3-4 months. To prolong the effects of Botox from six months to one year, the treatment should be repeated for one year or more. The number of injections needed depends on many factors, including the extent of the area being treated. For the first 24 hours, avoid rubbing or massaging the areas where Botox has been administered. This may help prevent the toxin from spreading to a different area. You can return to your normal activities right after the procedure.

Depending on your problem, the effect of Botox may last for three months or longer.1 You will be advised to return for regular follow-up injections to maintain the effect. If it’s your first Botox injection, the effect may not be as long. However, the effect may last longer after the second treatment. Take note that it’s a unique experience for everyone and Botox results may vary. With long-term Botox treatment, the development of imprinted facial lines that are distinctly visible at rest can be prevented. 3 A study on the long-term effects of Botox on facial lines showed that treatment was well tolerated, with no adverse events reported during 13 years of regular treatment.4

How long Botox lasts will depend on several factors including:

• Age
• Gender
• Muscle mass
• Injection technique
• Toxin dilution
• Volume of the solution
• Positioning of the injection

What better way to altogether prevent fine lines and wrinkles than to start early with preventative Botox! Indeed, many people and experts believe that administering Botox to the muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and eyebrows before they develop, could actually prevent them from happening. Slowing down the use of these muscles can prevent lines from developing or at least delay their onset. Preventative Botox is commonly used in the forehead and glabellar area (the space between the brows). When the development of deep lines is prevented, it can make you look younger and stress-free.

Botox treatments are fast and relatively painless with very little recovery time. Prior to getting started, your provider will consult with you about your cosmetic goals and any questions you might have. Because no two faces are the same, we’ll analyze your unique facial features to decide which areas to treat.

The procedure itself typically takes about 10-15 minutes. The specialist will inject the Botox with a very small needle. Afterwards, you’ll be able to go back to most of your daily routine. You might experience some minor temporary bruising, swelling, or tenderness.

Recovery is pretty simple, but for best botox results, our provider will give you some guidelines for what to do and what not to do after a Botox treatment.

Right after the procedure (0-4 hours):

• Avoid exercise of any kind.
• Stay upright. Bending over or laying down after Botox can cause it to move into an unwanted area. If the Botox migrates, it can cause your face to look crooked, droopy, or lopsided.
• Keep your head elevated.
• No touching, rubbing, pressing, or massaging your face.
• Avoid wearing makeup on or near the injection site.
• Steer clear of alcohol.
• Avoid blood thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen, if possible. If your medication is medically necessary, make sure to discuss with your provider prior to treatment.
• Do not apply heat to the area. This includes taking hot baths, getting into hot showers, and using saunas or hot tubs.
• Normal daily activity is okay, as long as it follows the guidelines above.

Shortly after the procedure (4-24 hours):

• No strenuous exercise.
• Light exercise is okay.
• Gentle touching of your face is okay, including applying makeup and skincare products.
• To reduce any swelling, you can gently apply an ice pack.
• Continue to avoid applying heat to the area.
• Laying down is okay, but it’s recommended to avoid sleeping face-down the first night.

The next day and beyond (24+ hours):

• You can go back doing everything normally, including strenuous exercise.
• Call your provider if you see or experience anything unusual. This might include drooping eyelids or eyebrows, crooked expressions, or swelling that doesn’t go down.
• Call 911 if you experience anything potentially life-threatening, like trouble breathing or swallowing.

Botox is an injectable solution that comes from botulinum toxin type A. Even though botulinum toxin type A is toxic in normal doses, the tiny amount used in cosmetic treatments won’t hurt you.

Botox is injected into muscles under the skin. Wherever it’s used, Botox will essentially interrupt the communication between your nerves and your muscle. This keeps the muscle relaxed. Because it’s not contracting, the skin on top isn’t getting wrinkled.

While Botox has its benefits, the cost and potential side effects are common downsides. The good news is there are Botox alternative procedures and products that you can use to minimize or delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox alternatives that are highly recommended by experts include the following:

Sunscreen - It’s the most important anti-aging product that you can use to protect yourself from sun damage that causes lines and wrinkles. Daily application is a must regardless of whether it’s a sunny or rainy day.

Retinoids - These are vitamin A derivatives known to increase collagen production. Collagen is a type of protein that is an important building block of your skin.

Laser treatment - This is a needle-free way to make your skin look younger and more supple. There are many types of laser treatment options and our experts can advise you on which one is the best for your skin.

Microneedling - Microneedling is one of the popular skincare trends today. This is a less invasive procedure that can ‘erase’ scars and smooth wrinkles. It’s a popular alternative to Botox Since it’s less likely to cause hyperpigmentation compared to laster-based procedures, microneedling can be ideal for people with dark skin.

Dietary Supplements - Regular intake of supplements that contain antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, essential fatty acids, and amino acids have been shown in studies to cause a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
