Botox®

Botox has become increasingly popular for cosmetic purposes over the past few years. Botox is an extensively studied medical aesthetic treatment that works very well. The results are astonishing, and they can change the way you see yourself. At West Hills Dermatology, we offer the best Botox treatments and have years of experience and injection treatments that temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, wrinkles, and creases in adults. Botox focuses on one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over a generous amount of time. Your specialist will inject these muscles with Botox Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will start to notice a visible smoothing of your skin within 7–14 days from the day you had your treatment.

Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can't contract. That makes wrinkles relax and soften. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults.

Botox is meant to last between 4 months to 6 months, although if this will be your first Botox treatment, it may wear off sooner than the average lasting months, and this may vary from one patient to another.
