BOTOX® Cosmetic & Facial Rejuvenation
Serving La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego, California
Every time you smile, laugh, or frown, tiny underlying facial muscles contract. This, in turn, causes wrinkles. The more those muscles are used, the deeper lines and wrinkles are likely to be. Available at our La Jolla, San Diego Facial Plastic Surgery Practice, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the remarkable solution for deep wrinkles and creases.
The active ingredient in BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified form of the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected into the muscle, this substance causes the surrounding muscle tissue to relax, eliminating wrinkles and creating a softer, more relaxed appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic is most commonly injected into the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows) and "crow's feet". Once injected, BOTOX® Cosmetic takes three to seven days to take effect and generally lasts three to six months.
Many patients who are interested in BOTOX® Cosmetic have concerns about possible side effects, such as not being able to make facial expressions. Fortunately, there is nothing to worry about. After your BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, you'll still be free to look surprised and frown – you'll just be doing it without deep brow creases.
If you live in San Diego and are considering our La Jolla office for BOTOX® Cosmetic, you can rest assured that our Facial Plastic Surgeons are fully experienced in the application of this amazing treatment and that your safety and comfort are their top priorities.
