Botox Cost - San Fernando Valley, Calabasas, Sherman Oaks or Encino

Investing in treatments like Botox, to obtain a wrinkle-free, healthier looking skin is a personal choice you make. One among the many questions that you may have before you decide to get Botox injections would be if the money you spend on it is really worth it. And that depends on the medical spa you choose and the experience it has in the field. Botox injections that transform your skin and give you a youthful look are worth the money only when they administered properly, in the right quantities, by an experienced medical professional like Dr. Bijan Farah.

Botox Charges

The amount of money you spend on Botox injections varies between $200 and $400 approximately, and usually depends upon the number of units of injections you need. The charges can also vary depending on the area or part of the body where the injections need to be administered. But how do you know if Botox is right for you? And how do you know if you are putting yourself in good hands and are not being cheated off your money? The answers to these questions is simple - you need to choose the services of a qualified medical professional who has the experience in offering Botox anti-aging treatments. If you live in San Fernando Valley, Calabasas, Sherman Oaks or Encino in CA, then consulting an experienced professional like Dr. Bijan Farah of Rejuvenate Medical Spa for proper evaluation is a good idea.

Keep Costs Reasonable with Professional Services

Skin care and cosmetic services are almost always in demand, which is why a number of people, posing as professionals tend to make money off unsuspecting customers. Make the wrong choice and you could end up losing a lot of money without any visible results. To make sure the price you pay for Botox injections is reasonable, it is essential to hire the services of a professional med spa. A genuine evaluation by a professional will let you know if Botox is the right solutions for treating your wrinkles. Also, a professional can correctly estimate the number of Botox injection units that you may need to remove the wrinkles on your skin. The effectiveness of Botox depends largely on the dosage and also on how the injections are administered. Proper dosage and proper administrations of the injections will ensure that you get the desired results within a reasonable amount of time, and at reasonable costs too.

Safe Treatment

It may be tempting to choose a medical spa that offers cheap Botox, juvederm, acne and hair loss solutions that suit you. While keeping the costs low may seem important, staying safe is more than important. Botox costs are more or less the same across California, including cities like San Fernando Valley, Calabasas and Encino. So if someone is offering Botox injections at prices so low that they seem too good to be true, then they are. The professionals at Rejuvenate Med Spa, headed by Dr. Bijan Farah, will guide you with regards to the treatment, and may even suggest affordable alternatives should you be allergic to Botox, or if Botox is not a good solution for you for some reason.

What is Botox?

Botox is an injectable treatment to reduce the appearance of facial fine lines and minor wrinkles to make a person look younger. This Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment is widely popular because of its inherent cosmetic benefits without the downsides of a surgery. The primary use of Botox is to reduce muscular function between the eyebrows to achieve a relaxed and rested look, and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is also effective for conditions such as crow’s feet around the eyes, eyebrow position, neck cords and even sweat reduction under the arms. It is important to receive Botox treatment from a qualified and experienced Botox expert. The treatment must be tailored to suit the unique needs of a patient in order to achieve the best outcome. Results with Botox may last for about three months or up to six months in some cases. The treatment is quick and can be performed usually in 15 to 30 minutes. It involves almost no downtime, and results start becoming visible within a day or two. Depending on a patient’s condition, the doctor may recommend Botox treatment to be combined with other procedures such as dermal fillers.

Procedure

Botox treatment may appear simple on the surface, but it requires specialized skills and training to achieve safe and successful results with Botox. The human face consists of 43 muscles, which makes it crucial for the operating Botox expert to be able to understand and target the right points in order to achieve optimal outcomes. The chemical botulinum toxin is injected directly into the targeted muscles using very thin needles. The chemical substance injected in the right quantity relaxes the wrinkle-producing muscle, which allows the return of the natural facial expression and disappearance of the wrinkle. The number of injections required may depend on the facial features and the extent of fine lines and wrinkles to be removed. For instance, a furrowed brow may require about five injections, while crow’s feet could be corrected with two or three injections. The treatment does not require anesthesia because the Botox chemical contains anesthetic to prevent pain. Full results usually become noticeable within a week. The patient can enjoy a more youthful facial appearance for at least three to four months. Botox treatment is not suitable for deep creases and folds on the face, and it is not a filler treatment to replenish skin volume or firm up sagging facial skin.

Recovery

Botox patients can go back to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. The operating doctor will instruct the patient to avoid rubbing or massaging the affected areas for a while after the treatment. This will avoid the risk of the chemical being pushed away to another area of the face. If this occurs, the patient may suffer from temporary facial sagginess or weakness.

Risks

Botox is one of the safest and minimally invasive cosmetic anti-aging treatments. The procedure should ideally be performed at a licensed med spa under the care and supervision of a qualified and experienced physician. Side effects of Botox treatment may include the following:

Pain, redness, swelling and bruising at the injection site
Nausea
Headache
Flu-like symptoms
Temporary facial drooping

Effectiveness

Botox treatment is not designed to treat all kinds of facial wrinkles, creases, and folds. People who need a reduction of wrinkles below the eye, or repair of sun damaged skin may have to opt for other procedures. The effectiveness of Botox treatment may vary from one patient to another depending on skin type, skin thickness, extent of wrinkles, and facial features.
