Serving Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and surrounding areas
Signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, can become more apparent as time passes. These visual markers often prompt individuals to explore cosmetic solutions aimed at rejuvenation. At AM Facial Plastics in Beverly Hills, CA, Dr. Moradzadeh offers a range of treatments to address these concerns, with a specialized focus on minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures.
Among the treatments we offer, Botox stands as a minimally invasive option for those looking to smooth out wrinkles and achieve a more youthful appearance. Dr. Moradzadeh has extensive experience in facial plastic surgery and non-invasive treatments and is committed to providing advanced options that are tailored to each patient’s unique needs. So, whether you’re a seasoned veteran of cosmetic treatments or exploring your options for the first time, we are here to guide you through the process.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a neuromodulator that has gained significant recognition in the field of cosmetic procedures. Unlike fillers that add volume to skin depressions, a neuromodulator temporarily blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles, inhibiting muscle contraction. Dr. Moradzadeh specializes in applying this treatment in a way that considers each patient’s unique anatomical structure and skin condition.
How Does Botox Work?
When you opt for a Botox treatment with us, small doses of the neuromodulator are precisely injected into targeted muscles. Botox then blocks nerve signals in the muscles where it has been injected, causing a reduction in muscle activity. This decrease in activity lessens the appearance of wrinkles and results in a smoother skin surface.
What Are the Treatment Areas for Botox?
Botox isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s adaptable to various treatment areas. The three FDA-approved areas for Botox injections are the crow’s feet (lines around the eyes), forehead lines, and glabellar lines (lines between the eyebrows). In addition to these, we frequently offer Botox treatments for brow lifts. While brow lifts are not an FDA-approved use, they are a commonly requested service at our practice. With it, we can elevate and shape the eyebrows for a fresher look. Botox can also be used to help alleviate migraine headaches through injection in key areas of the neck and face.
What Are the Benefits of Choosing Botox?
Botox Is Non-Invasive
One significant benefit of opting for a Botox treatment is that it’s non-invasive. Unlike surgical procedures that may require extended recovery periods, Botox can be administered in a quick office visit. Injections are as comfortable as possible, letting you get back to your day without any prolonged interruption.
Botox Injections Are Customizable and Versatile
Botulinum toxin treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each injection plan is tailored to your specific needs and problem areas. The versatility of Botox makes it a suitable option for a variety of treatment areas and many different aesthetic tastes and goals. We take the time to discuss what you want for your treatment to make sure it aligns with the treatment strategy.
Injections Are Long-Lasting, But Not Permanent
After receiving your Botox injections, you can expect the Botox results to last for several months, usually between three and four. However, the effects are not permanent, allowing you the flexibility to change your treatment plans as your needs and goals evolve over time.
Injections Do Not Require Downtime
When you opt for Botox injections with us, there is typically no need for downtime post-treatment. Most patients can resume their usual activities almost immediately. This benefit makes Botox an increasingly convenient choice for those who don’t have a lot of time to devote to themselves, without compromising on achieving a refreshed appearance.
