Everyday facial expressions such as squinting, laughing, or frowning, are caused by the movement of underlying facial muscles.  When repeated over many years, this motion can lead to permanent lines around the eyes and on the forehead.  Unfortunately, this can lead to an angry, stressed or tired appearance, irrespective of the way you’re feeling.  And the more emotion you show, the deeper these wrinkles are likely to be.

What is Botox?

Botox is an FDA- approved purified protein that temporarily relaxes the treated muscles and decreases their ability to move, leading to a softer, more refreshed appearance.  Compared to other cosmetic options, Botox cosmetic injections are the only one that addresses the actual cause of your lines: the movement of the underlying muscles.

What results can I expect from Botox injections?

Don’t be fooled: there are no creams that provide results similar to or better than Botox injections.  Within a few days of being treated, your skin will soften giving you a relaxed, more youthful appearance that can last up to 3 to 4 months. 

What is the Botox injection treatment like?

In a simple, 10-minute office procedure, at Dr. Pierre's Skin Care Institute in Thousand Oaks, California, small amounts of Botox are injected, into the muscles around the eyes, on the forehead or in between the eyebrows, to give you a relaxed look.  There is no downtime and, therefore no interruption to your daily schedule.  Side effects are minimal and can include a temporary eyebrow or eyelid droop that resolves within a few weeks.

Who is a good candidate for Botox injections?

If you want to look as great as you feel and you think your expression lines make you look older than you'd like to, Botox may be the ideal treatment for you.

Botox cosmetic injections will not address texture changes or wrinkles due to aging or sun damage, and neither will it help sagging skin.  However, it is an important part of a facial rejuvenation program that can include fillers, chemical peels, as well as FotoFacials and laser treatments.
