Botox in Pasadena
If you’re looking for a way to refresh your face and erase the evidence of aging and stress, Botox may be the solution for you. Different from facial fillers, Botox relaxes tense muscles that cause wrinkles and defined expression lines. When performed by an experienced injector, Botox safely and effectively diminishes wrinkles and lines without leaving you “frozen-faced.”
Patients typically seek Botox to eliminate the appearance of forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, neck bands, lines around the corners of the mouth, and under-eye wrinkles.
How Does Botox Work?
Botulinum toxin A, the scientific name for Botox, provides a buffer to neurotransmitters within the injected muscles, lessening the signal to contract. This releases wrinkles and folds around the injection sites.
The full effects of Botox can take two to 14 days to fully develop and can last up to six months. Patients may resume all normal activities immediately after treatment. Common side effects, as with all injectable products, include swelling, bruising, bleeding, and itching at the injection site. Most side effects resolve on their own within 24 hours.
If you’d also like to address volume loss or static wrinkles, consider pairing Botox with dermal fillers, or explore PRP therapy for additional skin and hair rejuvenation. You can also return to our Injectables in Pasadena page to review our full menu of treatments.
