Looking for BOTOX® treatment in San Diego? Every time you laugh, smile or frown you create dynamic wrinkles. They are caused by contraction of delicate underlying facial muscles and after many years become permanent. Now thanks to BOTOX® injections, these dynamic wrinkles can be dramatically softened. Worry lines, frown lines, “crow’s feet” and other dynamic wrinkles are all improved by the use of BOTOX® Cosmetic injections |

How does the procedure work? |
|
BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks the nerve impulses to the tiny facial muscles that cause these facial expression lines. This treatment relaxes the muscles and prevents or lessens their contraction. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles retain their ability to contract in a normal fashion. Normal facial expression is unaffected, while “unhappy” muscle contractions are minimized or eliminated. |

Everybody gets lines and wrinkles as they grow older, and if they want them removed or reduced they will need some form of anti-wrinkle treatment. Lines and wrinkles are caused by the body’s natural ageing process and the breakdown of natural collagen and support layers lying just under your skin, this natural ageing, teamed with other factors such as over-exposure to UV rays, smoking and pollution means that our skin gets increasingly lined and saggy as we age. Anti-wrinkle treatments help to combat the signs of ageing and the other factors by plumping up the skin and so creating a smoother look. (From: transforminglives.co.uk) |

Will this injection cause me discomfort? |
|
The Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Center has developed a more comfortable injection procedure. Our procedure is now performed with a dramatic decrease in patient discomfort. Our patients who have received treatment elsewhere always comment on how easy our injections are tolerated. |
|
Is it safe? |
|
BOTOX® is very safe and has been used effectively since 1970. Dr. Splinter began using this treatment in 1979 to treat many ophthalmologic and neurological disorders. Many thousands of patients receive treatments each year for a multitude of conditions. It is quickly becoming the most popular non-surgical treatment for reversing some visible signs of aging. |
|
How long does it last? |
|
The duration of the treatment varies from patient to patient, but the initial treatment usually lasts 1 to 3 months; each subsequent treatment lasts longer, and it is not unusual for our regular patients to go nine months or more between treatments. |
