BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most trusted and widely used non-surgical treatments for reducing facial wrinkles and restoring a more youthful appearance. This FDA-approved injectable relaxes the underlying muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, those formed from repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. The result is smoother skin, a refreshed appearance, and renewed confidence, all without the need for surgery or downtime.
At Lūx MD in Livermore, CA, every BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is performed with medical precision and a personalized touch, helping clients smooth fine lines while embracing confidence. Under the leadership of Dr. Christine Rongey, a board-certified physician with over 15 years of experience, the med spa blends advanced aesthetics with a luxury experience to deliver natural, rejuvenating results.
How BOTOX Cosmetic Works
BOTOX Cosmetic contains a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which disrupts the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When injected into targeted areas, the treated muscles relax, softening existing lines and preventing new ones from forming. Treatment is quick, typically taking only 10-15 minutes, and most patients describe the injections as minor pinches. Results begin to appear within a few days and reach full effect within one to two weeks.
Common Treatment Areas
BOTOX Cosmetic is highly versatile and can be used to address:
- Frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Bunny lines across the bridge of the nose
- Lip lines or a gummy smile
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands for a smoother profile
Many patients also choose BOTOX as a preventive measure in their late 20s and 30s to slow the development of deeper wrinkles over time.
Benefits of BOTOX Cosmetic
Patients love BOTOX because it offers noticeable, natural-looking results with no surgery or recovery period. Key benefits include:
- Quick, in-office treatment sessions
- Minimal discomfort and virtually no downtime
- Results that last three to four months on average
- A refreshed, more youthful appearance
- Ability to combine with dermal fillers or other treatments for enhanced rejuvenation
When performed by an experienced provider, you will still maintain your natural facial expressions while simply softening unwanted lines.
What to Expect After Treatment
Following treatment, you may notice slight redness or swelling from the injections, which usually resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to work or social activities immediately after their appointment. To maximize results, your provider may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, or lying flat for several hours after injections.
Results generally last about three to four months, and with regular maintenance treatments, many patients find that their lines appear softer and less noticeable over time.
