How Does BOTOX Work?

BOTOX, a widely recognized cosmetic treatment, is a purified protein derived from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When strategically injected into targeted facial muscles, BOTOX temporarily blocks nerve signals, inhibiting muscle contractions. This process smooths wrinkles and fine lines by reducing muscle activity, resulting in a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. BOTOX in La Jolla is particularly effective in treating dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions, and its precise application by skilled professionals like Dr. Bolitho ensures natural-looking results.

BOTOX FAQ

How does BOTOX® prevent wrinkles from getting worse?

BOTOX® works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines or crow’s feet. By reducing the repetitive movements that cause wrinkles to deepen, BOTOX® helps prevent new lines from forming and existing ones from worsening, keeping your skin smoother over time.

Can I still have facial expressions after getting BOTOX®?

Yes! When administered by an experienced professional, BOTOX® targets specific muscles to soften lines while preserving your natural facial expressions. The goal is to refresh your appearance without the 'frozen' look, allowing you to smile, frown, or express emotions as usual.

How long will it take to see the full results of my BOTOX® treatment?

You may start noticing the effects of BOTOX® within 3-5 days, but full results typically become visible around 10-14 days after the injection. The treatment gradually relaxes the muscles over this time, giving you a smoother, more youthful appearance.
