Botox Injections
Time can be reflected in our faces in ways that make us look and feel older and less vibrant than we desire. Botox injection therapy has proved to be a safe, affordable, and effective way to arrest and reverse bothersome lines and wrinkles.
Under the leadership of board-certified aesthetic medicine specialist Dr. Ted Y. Fisher, The Aesthetic Plan is Fullerton’s top-of-the-line luxury cosmetic procedure center. Dr. Fisher warmly invites you to schedule a consultation to determine if Botox treatments are right for you.
Botox is an FDA-approved drug derived from a safe form of the bacterial toxin C. botulinum neurotoxin type A. Most age-related facial lines and wrinkles are caused by repeated facial movements over the years. Botox injections work by temporarily blocking nerve signals that enable facial muscles to move. Given a chance to rest from this constant pulling and tugging, facial skin relaxes and smooths, often reducing or erasing those aggravating lines.
Botox treatments are safe, convenient, and require no downtime. They are also much more affordable than invasive surgery.
Botox is especially effective in treating horizontal forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
At The Aesthetic Plan, we’ll take the time to fully explain your procedure and answer all of your questions. We will ask about your goals for treatment and your medical history to ensure that Botox will be a safe and effective treatment for you. Schedule your Fullerton Botox consultation with one of our specialists today.
Your provider will administer your Botox injections in one of our modern and comfortable treatment rooms. They will apply a numbing agent to your skin before injecting carefully measured amounts of Botox into your selected treatment areas. Most treatments take only a few minutes, after which you will be ready to return to your day.
The benefits from your Botox procedure should begin to be apparent between one and three days following your injections.
You will see a reduction or elimination of wrinkles as your facial skin relaxes and recovers. The full benefits of Botox treatment usually last for up to four months, and patients report a high rate of satisfaction.
Don’t rub or scratch your treatment areas, and take it easy while you determine how the treatment affects you. Besides that, there are no restrictions on your activity. Going forward, adopt a good and consistent skin-care program and diligently use high-quality sunscreen daily.
Yes, to maintain your results, we recommend regular follow-up injection sessions, separated by at least three months.
Not if your injections are administered by a highly skilled and trained medical provider such as our staff at The Aesthetic Plan. The only difference you or anyone else will notice is how great and how much younger you look! Know this, too. While regular Botox treatments are necessary to maintain results, you will not look any older than you naturally would if you cease Botox therapy.
It’s true that Botox treatments were initially regarded as a treatment for women. But now millions of people are discovering the benefits of Botox—benefits that can improve and enhance both their personal and professional lives.
Not at all. While there are no rigid age standards or restrictions for Botox treatment, a majority of people who initiate Botox therapy are in their late 20s to early 30s.
Since it has not been established whether Botox can affect an unborn baby or a mother’s breast milk, it is best to postpone Botox treatment if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant in the near future.
Botox is especially effective in treating lines created by facial movements and expressions. Dermal fillers are typically used to volumize deflated and depressed areas of the face.
