Botox
In BEVERLY HILLS
What is Botox?
Botox, also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a purified form of the botulinum toxin into specific muscles to temporarily paralyze or relax them. It is commonly used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines, particularly in the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet)
Botox works by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles smooths out the overlying skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines. The effects of Botox typically last for three to six months, after which the treatment can be repeated if desired.
Botox is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed in a healthcare professional’s office. It is a quick procedure that usually takes only a few minutes to complete, and there is minimal downtime associated with it. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
What is the process?
The Botox process involves a consultation with Dr. Chahin or our highly experienced nurse injector with 90210 Aesthetics to discuss cosmetic concerns. After assessing the facial muscles, Botox is injected using a fine needle without the need for anesthesia. The Botox solution is targeted to specific areas to temporarily relax the muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Post-treatment, there may be slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these effects usually resolve quickly. Results become noticeable within a few days to a week, and follow-up sessions are recommended every 90 days for maintenance. It is crucial to seek treatment from skilled professionals, like those at our practice, to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
