The effects of BOTOX are temporary and will wear off after four to six months. For this reason, it is recommended that patients receiving BOTOX in Orange County come in for touch-up treatments.

BOTOX is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive, safe, and effective treatment for facial lines and wrinkles.3 When injected by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Esmailian, BOTOX is particularly low risk for adverse events.
The side effects are typically minimal, with the most common side effect being temporary bruising. Other possible side effects include:
Eyelid drooping is usually caused by the Botox moving into other areas. For this reason, individuals are advised to avoid rubbing the areas treated for at least 8 hours following their procedure; in addition, patients need to avoid lying down for approximately four hours after their treatment with Dr. Esmailian in Orange County. Eyelid drooping, although rare, can easily be treated with eye drops until the botox effects subside.
