Neurotoxin Before & Afters
Neuromodulators For You
What is Botox?
Botox and Dysport are types of injectable neuromodulators that temporarily reduce the activity and contraction of muscles, resulting in a noticeable smoothing of wrinkles. Neuromodulators are used for both cosmetic and non-cosmetic use. Cosmetic use of Botox began in 2002 for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, fine wrinkles around the eyes (also known as “crow’s feet,”) and horizontal forehead lines. The use of neuromodulators helps soften the appearance of wrinkles and can also be used as preventive care against developing wrinkles.
The amount of Botox injected can range from inhibiting expression to milder softening expressions. The treatment involves minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. Treatment results last approximately 3 - 4 months. Moreover, consistent Botox treatments can have a preventative effect, slowing the development of new lines and wrinkles. With its versatile applications and proven results, Botox remains a favored choice for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.
A Botox Refresh
What are the benefits of Botox?
Botox, a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, offers many benefits for those seeking a more youthful appearance. Primarily known for its ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating these lines. This results in a smoother, more refreshed facial appearance. When it comes to wrinkles, Botox is an excellent choice if you have moderate to severe lines. Although Botox was initially developed for therapeutic applications, it is now used for aesthetic purposes to improve the look of the following:
- Lines on Forehead
- Smoker’s Lines- perioral vertical lines
- Frown Lines between the eyebrows–aka “11s”
- A gummy smile
- Crow’s Feet
- Neck Bands- helps with Tech Neck
- Upper Lip that is too thin while smiling
- A mouth that constantly frowns
- Lines on the side of the nose–aka “Bunny Lines”
When it comes to Botox Woodland Hills patients sometimes choose to wait until they get older or until fine lines and wrinkles have already emerged, while some of our patients prefer to use it as a preventative therapy to fight the signs of aging.
Beyond aesthetic enhancements, Botox can also provide relief for:
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Chronic migraines
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Botox is not approved for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

A Radiant Appearance with Botox
Your Botox Procedure
After you consult with our skilled physician, the targeted areas of your skin will be cleansed. The Botox procedure is quick and straightforward, requiring only a few minutes to perform a series of injections. Each muscle in your face is responsible for a particular facial movement. With precision and care, small amounts of Botox will be injected using a fine needle into specific muscles to ensure a natural-looking result. The number of injections depends on your desired results and the areas being treated.
The procedure typically takes 10-20 minutes, making it a convenient 'lunchtime' treatment. With Botox Woodland Hills patients report only a slight pinprick during the injections, but the discomfort is minimal and brief. There's no downtime required, so you can return to your daily activities immediately after the session. Some individuals may have a headache or stiffness in their muscles before Botox takes action. The simplicity and effectiveness of the Botox procedure make it a popular choice for those looking to diminish the signs of aging quickly and effectively.

Botox Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from Botox at Luminous Medical Aesthetics is straightforward, with minimal downtime. Immediately after the treatment, you may experience mild redness or slight swelling at the injection sites, but these symptoms typically subside quickly. To ensure the best possible results and minimize the risk of complications, there are a few aftercare instructions to follow: avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours, as this can cause the Botox to spread to unwanted areas.
It's also advisable to stay upright for several hours post-treatment and avoid strenuous activities or heavy exercise for the rest of the day. Additionally, refraining from alcohol consumption and avoiding excessive heat exposure, like saunas or hot tubs, for the first 24 hours is recommended. Adhering to these simple guidelines can help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results from your Botox treatment.

Botox Results
After receiving Botox Woodland Hills patients can return to their normal activities. Initial improvements may be noticeable within a few days, with the full gratifying effects typically within seven to 14 days. Botox effectively softens wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows, giving a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
The results are temporary, generally lasting three to four months, after which the muscles gradually regain activity, and lines and wrinkles begin to reappear. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain a smooth, refreshed look. Many clients appreciate the aesthetic improvements and the subtle, natural-looking results that Botox provides, allowing them to look and feel their best.

Botox has been used to safely diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting patients' confidence. Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles and inhibits muscular contraction. Some individuals have reported symptoms such as an allergic reaction, bruising and swelling at the injection site, and headaches. Additional risks include Botox spreading to unintended muscles.
Because each patient requires a different number of Botox units to get their desired outcome, the price varies. The dosage used is primarily impacted by the intensity of your wrinkles and the number of areas treated during your Botox treatment.
