TREATMENT AREAS

CROW’S FEET

Neurotoxins can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines or deep wrinkles on the sides of your eyes, more commonly known as ‘Crow’s Feet’. They help relax the muscles around the eyes, minimizing the severity of these lines for men and women.

FOREHEAD

Most people tend to show their age in their forehead, especially if they’re very expressive when they talk. Botox® and Dysport® work to relax or ‘freeze’ the muscles in the forehead used when showing emotion or facial expressions that may cause deep creases over time.

JAWLINE

Jawline feminization has become extremely popular in recent years. Female patients with a strong masseter can slim their jawline or minimize the projection of the masseter resulting in a more feminine or heart-shaped facial structure.

ARMPITS

Do you suffer from excessive sweating in the armpits, palms or feet? You may be a good candidate for neurotoxin injections to these areas. Many patients see a significant decrease in sweating after receiving neurotoxin injections.

FAQ

Neurotoxins, or muscle relaxants such as Botox® and Dysport® are used strategically to relax certain muscles that convey a negative connotation, and to ‘wake up’ other muscles that convey a positive expression.

Botox® is the number one aesthetic procedure in Los Angeles and even the world. Patients decide to get a muscle relaxant such as Botox® or Dysport® for a number of reasons. The results appear gradually and disappear gradually, making the results subtle, yet wildly effective.

Every patient is different depending on his or her metabolism of neurotoxins (Botox®). Most patients find their Botox injections last around 3-4 months. Some patients metabolize Botox faster than others, leaving them with Botox’s effects for 2-3 months, while others have the amazing benefit for up to 6 months. Over time Botox can fatigue the muscle allowing for less movement after the Botox wears off, allowing more time between injections.

It takes about 7-14 days to see the best results from Botox.

Post-injection, you should expect a little bit of swelling and slight redness, which usually goes away in a matter of hours. Avoiding heavy exercise, salty foods, and alcohol will help to avoid excessive swelling.

Most patients love the way they look after Neurotoxin injections, but it is not necessary to continue the treatment forever if you wish to stop.
