San Diego's BOTOX Cosmetic Revolution
BOTOX Cosmetic has revolutionized non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatments. BOTOX Cosmetic can effectively diminish crow's feet, laugh and frown lines, and other dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle contractions. With continued use, BOTOX Cosmetic can even completely eliminate some fine lines and wrinkles.
BOTOX Cosmetic is injected into facial muscles around the eyes, across the forehead, around the mouth and along the neck. When these facial muscles contract, the skin wrinkles. Over time, these wrinkles become deeper and more permanent. BOTOX Cosmetic paralyzes these muscles allowing the skin to lay flat for an extended period of time which effectively reduces lines and wrinkles.
BOTOX Cosmetic is made from a purified form of protein made from botulism bacteria called, botulinum A toxin. BOTOX Cosmetic injections are safe, reliable and repeatable. Since the FDA approved BOTOX® Cosmetic injections in 2002, millions of treatments have been safely administered across the country.
BOTOX Cosmetic at La Jolla Dermatology
Not all BOTOX Cosmetic treatments are the same. Your results from BOTOX Cosmetic are absolutely dependent on the skill of the doctor administering your injections. So why would you consider going to a plastic surgeon who specializes in surgeries like breast augmentation, instead of going to a Dermatologist who specializes in facial skin care?
At our state-of-the-art facilities in La Jolla, BOTOX Cosmetic injections are administered by award winning, board certified Dermatologist, Susan M. Stuart, M.D. Dr. Stuart is considered one San Diego's leading experts in Dermatology and has been selected as one of America's Top Physicians in Dermatology. Dr. Stuart served for two-terms as the Chief of Dermatology at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla and was one of the youngest past presidents of the San Diego Dermatological Society. Dr. Stuart has been voted one of the best doctors by the La Jolla Light readers' poll.
Your treatment will begin with a gentle cleansing of the skin followed by the application of a topical anesthetic for your comfort during the procedure. Dr. Stuart uses very fine needles and most patients feel a minor sting from the injection, which feels like an insect bite.
When you choose BOTOX in San Diego, your treatment will take as little as 10 minutes so you can schedule a lunch time appointment, include an appointment while you're out running errands, or stop by for an appointment on your way home from work.
Because Dr. Stuart is a Dermatologist, she can also help you with all of your skin care needs and may suggest additional treatments to address your current skin care issues or to help prevent skin damage. BOTOX Cosmetic is also an excellent treatment to combine with Microdermabrasion, DermaPeel, or Fraxel® in San Diego for an overall non-surgical facial rejuvenation that will leave you looking and feeling younger than ever before.
BOTOX Cosmetic Recovery
Because BOTOX Cosmetic injections are so simple and easy, returning to work or normal social activities is no problem immediately following treatment. You should keep your head elevated for at least 4 hours after the treatment and avoid rubbing or touching the treatment area. Rarely, slight bruising or swelling may appear at the injection site and ice will reduce this affect.
Your BOTOX Cosmetic results will usually be visible within 3 to 5 days of treatment and results can last up to 3 months. If regular treatments are continued, your results may tend to last longer between treatments.
You won't believe the results of La Jolla Dermatology's BOTOX Cosmetic injections until you see them for yourself. There's no excuse not to request a consultation today. Or, you can call Dr. Stuart now at (858) 623-6333 for all of your skin care needs.
