Botox in Santa Barbara, CA

Botox is made from a botulinum toxin in a safe and refined form, and administered with a small needle by your dermatologist. The toxin paralyzes the facial muscles so they are forced to relax. When the muscles are relaxed, the skin over them appears smoother. Botox is commonly recommended to improve the appearance of:

• Crows feet
• Forehead lines
• Lines between the eyebrows
• Lines around the mouth and chin

These common wrinkle concerns can all be addressed with Botox. There are other tiers of plastic surgery meant to drastically change your appearance. Botox helps you achieve a more youthful appearance that still looks like you.

Getting Botox

When you get Botox in Santa Barbara, CA, you'll first consult with your dermatologist about the areas you want to target and the likely results of the injections. Botox injections shouldn't be very painful, you should only feel the prick of a small needle. We can also use a numbing agent if necessary.

Depending on the area you are targeting your treatment may include multiple injections, but it only takes a few minutes total. Immediately after the injections, you may notice redness or swelling at the injection site. You won't see the full effects of the injection for several days.

The effects of Botox are not permanent and it is recommended that you follow up with more injections after 12 to 16 weeks. The longer you do Botox, the less often you will have to come back because over time the muscles become less strained.

The dermatologists of Kind Dermatology and Medical Spa offer Botox to help you look your best and boost your confidence. If you're ready for Botox in Santa Barbara, CA, contact us for an appointment at (805) 250-9891.
