Looking to reduce signs of aging on the skin? At Aesthetically Pleasing Medical Spa in Encinitas, we use BOTOX to help our patients look younger and more refreshed without altering their ability to show any natural emotion in their faces.
What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Due to the many advantages it provides patients, BOTOX is regarded as the gold standard in the cosmetic industry. BOTOX is often used to help stop the onset and progression of forehead and periocular wrinkles when used over an extended period of time. That said, patients are able to maintain their normal facial expressions since the neurotoxins don’t generate widespread cutaneous numbness throughout the face.
BOTOX in Encinitas is excellent at not only reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines but also preventing them from growing worse in the future, leaving patients with skin that is smooth and youthful.
What Areas Can Be Treated With BOTOX?
BOTOX is often used to treat the following areas:
- Between the brows
- Furrow lines
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead furrows
- Wrinkles on the sides of the eyes
- Neck bands or platysmal bands
- Eyebrow lifts
- Armpits
What Results Should I Expect From BOTOX?
After your BOTOX treatment with us you’ll normally start to see results right after your treatment and they will continue to progress after 3–7 days. The effects often continue for about four to six months. That said, the muscles will atrophy after 3 or 4 sessions of BOTOX therapy, resulting in fewer obvious wrinkles while moving the face.
We will thoroughly assess your face, skin quality, brow posture, and facial muscle activity during your consultation at our office. From there, we will suggest a treatment strategy based on your objectives and anatomy to make sure you get the best and most natural results possible.
Is BOTOX Permanent?
BOTOX in Encinitas injections provide long-lasting effects for patients but unfortunately they are not permanent. The average patient outcomes last three to six months, while some people may have longer or shorter periods. Patients who are wanting to extend the length of their results can book follow-up treatments at our clinic.

BOTOX Aftercare
The aftercare for BOTOX is relatively easy. First, following the treatment, remain upright for three hours. You should give the BOTOX time to settle, and laying down within the first three hours will prevent that from happening. During this period, refrain from touching or scratching the areas of your face that received BOTOX in Encinitas injections.
Any possible bruising after BOTOX injections often takes a few days to go away on its own. To safeguard your results and promote recovery, we recommend following the post-treatment guidelines given to you by your medical expert.
How Does BOTOX Work?
As part of the natural aging process, the skin develops wrinkles as a result of muscular contractions during face motions. These constant muscular spasms cause wrinkles and creases to appear permanently over time. The BOTOX molecules limit the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which prevents the muscles’ ability to communicate with their neurons and over contract. When the face movements are repeated, neuromodulators could be utilized in order to prevent the skin from creasing in those particular ways again.
BOTOX Candidates
Healthy individuals who have wrinkles or fine lines brought on by muscular spasms are suitable candidates for BOTOX. Our medical experts can assist if you’re unclear if BOTOX can be used to correct your facial wrinkles. If BOTOX in Encinitas is unable to address your wrinkles, we will happily provide alternate suggestions such as Dysport or Xeomin, that are more suited to your particular anatomy and concerns.
