What is Botox® Cosmetic?

Botox® Cosmetic is a widely used neurotoxin derived from botulinum toxin type A. This injectable treatment is designed to smooth facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscle movements responsible for wrinkle formation. It is particularly effective in treating the upper third of the face, including forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines.

Botox works by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, reducing excessive facial expressions that contribute to wrinkles. As a result, the skin appears smoother, more youthful and refreshed.

Beyond its cosmetic benefits, Botox is also FDA-approved for treating medical conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.2

Who is a Candidate For BOTOX?

BOTOX treatments are for men or women who would like to achieve a more youthful appearance by smoothing or preventing wrinkles. Good candidates for Botox treatments should meet the following requirements:

  • Have no active skin outbreaks or rashes in the treatment area
  • Are 18 years old or older
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have no history of neuromuscular diseases

Preparing For Botox Treatment

Individuals should have about a 30-minute downtime after the procedure so that the bumps resulting from the treatment subside before resuming normal activities. Anti-inflammatory medications and aspirin should be avoided if possible. Avoiding these medications reduces the incidence of bruising following the treatment.

What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment

A Botox treatment with Dr. Esmailian takes just 10-15 minutes with minimal downtime. Using a fine needle, Dr. Esmailian carefully injects Botox into the targeted facial muscles to create a more youthful appearance.

  • Effects can last 3-6 months
  • Avoid rubbing the injection site for at least 8 hours

How long does Botox last?

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. In this way, we can maintain your results and prevent the formation of new fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial muscles.

Is BOTOX only for women?

BOTOX is an ideal treatment for both men and women. Men who want to prevent the onset of wrinkles or smooth wrinkles away can enjoy the same anti-aging and skin-smoothing benefits as women.

Will Botox look natural?

With Dr. Esmailian, you never look “frozen” or unnatural after BOTOX injections. He ensures your results appear natural by only injecting the precise muscles, which allows you to make natural expressions.

Is Botox painful?

BOTOX injections don't require anesthetic because the treatment is easily experienced. Dr. Esmailian uses an extremely fine needle to administer Botox, making the injection as minimally painful as possible.

Is Botox safe?

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.

Does Botox have any side effects?

The side effects are typically minimal, with the most common side effect being temporary bruising. Other possible side effects include:

  • Headaches (for the first 24 to 48 hours following treatment)
  • Eyelid drooping (typically subsides within three weeks)

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.

Can I combine Botox with other treatments?

Yes! Many patients combine Botox with dermal fillers like Juvéderm for enhanced results. Other anti-aging treatments like chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing can further improve skin texture and elasticity.

Where can I find Botox near me?
