BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections: How Do They Work?

BOTOX Cosmetic injections

Wrinkles are a common physical trait for many millions of people. Unfortunately, they often tend to make people look older than they are; this can cause a downturn in self-esteem and an unpleasant uptick in self-consciousness. Fortunately, San Diego BOTOX® Cosmetic injections offer an FDA-approved solution to those who wish to regain a fresher, more youthful appearance. At Restore SD Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer this celebrated solution that has helped countless individuals reprise their younger looks.

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein solution used to diminish the appearance of wrinkles in various areas of the face. This substance is used to inhibit nerve signals that prompt certain facial muscles to move. When a person smiles, frowns, or squints, the muscles involved contract and move the skin above them; over time, natural elasticity loss can create creases in the skin. Typical wrinkles include glabellar (frown) lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.

The BOTOX® Cosmetic injection treatment is a safe, simple, and minimally-invasive process. The protein solution works by temporarily calming the local muscles so they don’t contract and form wrinkles in the skin. There is little to no downtime associated with this treatment, and effects can last for multiple months.

Am I a Candidate for BOTOX?

A consultation is required in order to determine your candidacy for the treatment. At our office, we can help structure a personalized treatment plan that fits exactly with your needs and goals.

If you think you’re looking a bit older than you feel, feel free to reach out to Restore SD Plastic Surgery and make an appointment with us! Led by female board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Katerina Gallus, our  caring and highly experienced staff will answer any questions you may have about BOTOX® Cosmetic injections and provide all the information you need to make an informed decision. Contact us online or call our office at 858-224-2281 to schedule your consultation! We are conveniently located in San Diego, CA.
