Los Angeles Botox

Plastic Surgery Specialist

Botox has become one of the most popular minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures in the U.S. today. Some of the reasons why Botox is in demand are because it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and it requires no downtime. Many plastic surgeons and dermatologists here in the Los Angeles area offer Botox injections at their practice.

Botox is a form of botulinum toxin that has been approved by the FDA for safe and effective treatment of wrinkles and frown lines. Whenever we smile, laugh, or frown, muscles in our face contract, which eventually forms wrinkles. How Botox works, is small amounts of it are injected into several areas on the face, and once the Botox is injected, it blocks the impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that cause wrinkles.

The results of the Botox injection can last anywhere from three to four months. Afterwards the patient could choose to undergo another series of injections in order to maintain results. Many patients visit their practitioner two to three times a year for their Botox injections.
