For years, physicians have used Botox as a means to treat facial creases and wrinkles. Botox consists of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is a toxin that is capable of blocking the signals sent from the nerves to the muscles.
This ability to block these signals causes the muscles that are responsible for the creation of certain wrinkles and creases to become paralyzed.
At Dr. Esmailian’s office in Orange County, a Botox treatment takes just a few minutes.
Placing ice on the area helps decrease the discomfort during the injection.
Although some results are evident immediately following treatment, the full results are usually achieved within 2-7 days of the Botox treatment. Because muscle reaction will gradually return, the results attained from a Botox treatment last approximately 4 months; however, individuals who continue receiving Botox treatments for some time will notice that when their wrinkles and lines do begin to reappear, they are less severe.
This happens because the muscles causing these wrinkles and lines actually begin to shrink and eventually become ‘trained’ to stay in the positions achieved with treatment.
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. The side effects are minimal, with the most common side effect being temporary bruising.
Dr. Farbod Esmailian is a double board-certified plastic surgeon whose precise technique and finesse make him an ideal choice for BOTOX treatments in Orange County. To get ideal, natural-looking results, BOTOX must be applied only to the specific muscles that are causing the wrinkles to appear.
Dr. Esmailian is highly experienced in helping patients achieve youthful rejuvenation with carefully-applied injectable treatments. His focus is on achieving natural results that never make it appear that any “work” was done.
Is BOTOX only for women?
Will it look natural?
Is it painful?
Is it safe?
BOTOX is an ideal treatment for both men and women. Men who would like to prevent the onset of wrinkles or smooth wrinkles away can enjoy the same benefits as women do.
With Dr. Esmailian, you never look “frozen” or unnatural after BOTOX injections. He ensures your results appear natural by only injecting precisely muscles, which allows you to make natural expressions.
BOTOX injections don’t require anesthetic because the treatment is easily experienced. The needle Dr. Esmailian uses is extremely fine, making the injection as minimally painful as possible.
BOTOX is an FDA-approved, minimally-invasive, safe treatment. BOTOX is particularly low risk when injected by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Esmailian.
