BOTOX® in Beverly Hills, CA

Aesthetic Body Solutions in Beverly Hills, CA offers BOTOX injections to area men and women in quick 15-minute appointments. Yes, men love BOTOX, or BROTOX, just as much as women when it comes to easing their age lines in their mid and upper face. BOTOX lends outstanding results and can make great improvements to lines and wrinkles on your face, which are the result of expressions and contracting muscles on the forehead and around the eyes. These lines may or may not go away as the face relaxes. BOTOX is a filtered strain of botulinum toxin (type A) that temporarily blocks the movements of the facial muscle. To soften these lines, BOTOX is carefully injected to relax and soften the skin. BOTOX is administered by board-certified internist Dr. Dale Prokupek between the brows, on the Crow's feet, and across the forehead. Discover more reasons to love BOTOX after your consultation at Aesthetic Body Solutions today.

A personalized BOTOX treatment plan at Aesthetic Body Solutions has a number of great benefits for both women and men, including:

• Smoothing wrinkles, lines, and creases
• Rejuvenating and refreshing the appearance
• Slowing the formation of new wrinkles and lines
• Pairing well with other treatments for enhanced results
• Providing fast results
• Treatments are quick and easy
• No downtime or recovery period
• More affordable than plastic surgery

Many men and women begin BOTOX in their early 30s as a preventive treatment to stop wrinkles before they even happen or to reduce wrinkles and the signs of aging. When you start to develop the earliest signs of expression lines or resting wrinkles, this is the best time to start treating with BOTOX before wrinkles stay put.

BOTOX is mostly used as an anti-aging treatment for wrinkles that have formed – keep in mind how often you find yourself making facial expressions. It is a great noninvasive approach if you have obvious forehead lines, parallel lines between the brows, and/or lines that form around the eyes. 

BOTOX injections at Aesthetic Body Solutions take no more than 15 minutes of your time every three or four months. We will prepare your skin by cleaning the areas to be injected. Dr. Prokupek will apply ice to numb the area being treated. If you’re concerned about discomfort, ask Dr. Prokupek about applying a topical numbing cream before starting the treatment. Once the injections are complete, you can go about your day as normal because there is no downtime or recovery. You may notice visible results within 3 – 5 days and usually last from 3 – 6 months.

After the procedure, you may get back to your typical routine, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for a minimum of 24 hours. You will be advised to sleep with your head elevated for at least one night and to avoid touching your face, which can accidentally spread the treatment to other areas. The treated sections of the face may appear bruised, red, or swollen for 2 – 3 days, but you will not develop any serious or long-lasting side effects. In most cases, it usually takes about one week before the full results of BOTOX become visible. The results typically last 3 – 4 months. You should speak to your injector about how often to schedule your next appointment at Aesthetic Body Solutions to maintain your results.

How long will my BOTOX injections last?
Your BOTOX results may be visible for as long as four months. Most patients schedule an appointment every quarter to refresh their results; however, you may come back earlier. If you're getting BOTOX while you are younger as a preventive treatment, you can schedule visits further apart. After hearing your concerns and creating your treatment plan, Dr. Prokupek will be able to tell you when you should schedule your next visit.

What's the difference between wrinkle relaxers and fillers?
Wrinkle relaxers (like BOTOX) and injectable wrinkle fillers (including Restylane and Juvéderm) are both treatments that decrease wrinkles and correct fine lines. BOTOX works by relaxing overused muscles in your face that cause wrinkles, including frown lines (which appear between your eyebrows), Crow's feet (which appear in the outer edges of your eyes), smile lines, and forehead wrinkles. Dermal fillers add volume under the skin to correct depressions and improve wrinkles. Depending on your goals, Dr. Prokupek may suggest BOTOX and dermal fillers in combination for inspiring results.

Is BOTOX safe?
As long as it is applied properly, BOTOX should not cause any complications. However, it's important to choose someone who has experience in handling BOTOX, like Dr. Prokupek. Over injecting BOTOX can give you bad results. An experienced, board-certified internist will use just enough of the medication to effectively relax the muscles causing the unwanted wrinkles without affecting nearby muscles. Quickly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic treatments, it is safe and has earned approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Along with its cosmetic uses, BOTOX can also be used as a treatment for medical problems, such as excessive sweating, facial spasms, uncontrollable blinking, and migraines.

How many BOTOX injection units will I likely need?
The number of BOTOX units administered will differ based on personal goals and the extent of your facial wrinkles and lines. Dr. Prokupek will suggest the appropriate quantity of BOTOX injection units according to your aesthetic goals and whether you wish to treat the forehead, Crow's feet, or between the eyes. To keep up with your aesthetic results, our experts might suggest receiving BOTOX treatments every few months at Aesthetic Body Solutions.

Can BOTOX be paired with other aesthetic treatments?
BOTOX often pairs well with other cosmetic services at Aesthetic Body Solutions for men and women who would like to address aging concerns. If you have more pronounced and extensive lines and wrinkles, we may recommend administering a filler to help you achieve your smoothest results. To further maximize your younger-looking radiant appearance, Dr. Prokupek can discuss other complementary procedures, such as microneedling with PRP or facials.

With BOTOX, you can laugh, smile, frown, and make any other facial expression you want without causing wrinkles and lines with BOTOX wrinkle treatments. To prevent and smooth lines on the face, we invite you to schedule a consultation with board-certified internist Dr. Prokupek in Beverly Hills, CA to discover more about this revolutionary nonsurgical injectable.
