Botox

Botox is a widely recognized and popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that targets dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial muscle movements. Dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet around the eyes, can contribute to an aged or tired appearance.

At the California Dermatology Institute, our highly skilled dermatology providers specialize in administering Botox injections to help patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed look. Botox is derived from botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles.

During the procedure, a small amount of Botox is injected into specific facial muscles, causing them to relax. This results in a smoother, more relaxed appearance of the skin and a reduction in the visibility of wrinkles. The treatment is quick, virtually painless, and requires minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

It’s important to note that Botox injections should only be performed by qualified healthcare professionals, such as our dermatology providers at the California Dermatology Institute, to ensure safe and effective results.
