Botox injectables are an effective med spa solution for patients seeking to reduce facial aging signs in a non-surgical way. Botox was approved by the FDA in 2002 for the cosmetic reduction of frown lines on the forehead. Subsequently, in 2013, Botox was FDA-approved for cosmetically reducing crow’s feet. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides Botox injections to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

Ideal Candidates

Botox has received FDA approval for cosmetic reduction of facial aging lines for candidates in the age group of 18 to 65 years. The person should be in good overall health, have reasonable expectations, and understand the potential risks associated with Botox. Patients who are unhappy about the appearance of minor signs of aging on the face due to muscular activity, but do not want to undergo surgery, may make ideal candidates for Botox med spa injectable treatment. Working professionals and busy mothers usually choose Botox over other options as they prefer to avoid undergoing procedures that will involve an extended healing period. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and individuals with known neuromuscular conditions should avoid Botox treatment.  

Reduction of Crow’s Feet with Botox

Crow’s feet (lateral canthal lines) refer to the fine lines and wrinkles that radiate outwards from the outside corners of the eyes. These wrinkles can make the eyes appear tired making an individual appear older than their age. Botox medical spa treatment received official approval from the FDA for the reduction of crow’s feet around the eyes. Botox can soften the appearance of lateral canthal lines to offer the upper face a rested, rejuvenated, and more youthful appearance.  

Botox for the Treatment of Frown Lines

Frown lines can make an individual look angry or stressed. Botox helps mitigate the appearance of these lines effectively. The elimination of these lines between the brows can make a person look more youthful and approachable at work and social settings. Botox injectable treatment relaxes the targeted muscles that cause the development of fine lines and wrinkles and prevents these lines from deepening. The procedure takes only around ten minutes to complete. It involves injecting a few fine gauge injections into the muscles that need treatment. Injecting Botox is an art where the best and most natural looking results require placing the injections in the right muscles and correct dose by a trained medical professional. Botox is commonly used to treat the ‘crow’s feet’ in the outer eye corners, frown lines (grumpy lines), and the horizontal ‘worry’ lines.  

Jaw Contouring

One of the latest uses of Botox is the enhancement of jaw contours for individuals with a square-shaped face. Botox can reduce the size of the masseter muscles, which creates a gently curved jaw and cheek.  

How does Botox Work?

The neurotoxin called Botulinum has a unique property that causes an impediment in the communication between the nerve and muscle when administered directly into the muscle in the correct dose. This is a non-invasive procedure. The treatment provider uses fine needles to inject it directly into the hyperactive muscle that is causing the formation of the wrinkle. The chemical stops the communication between muscle and the nervous system and paralyzes it temporarily upon reaching the muscle.
