What to Know Before a Botox Treatment

Botox is a safe and effective way to eliminate wrinkles. It typically lasts 3-4 months. When injected properly, there are no side effects or bad outcomes that you may come across when researching someone who has had "bad botox" performed by a non-expert injector. Early on, a small mount of botox a few times a year will be preventive to stop wrinkles from ever forming. In people who already have wrinkles, Botox can be used to soften and often remove them. Skin is like cardboard, the more it creases over time, the more etched in the creases get. Look at your parent and grandparents. If you don't want those creases then start Botox now.

Botox can be used for many other things as well such as a non-surgical brow lift, facial slimming, to sharpen the jawline, to relax a "gummy smile" and much more. Watch this video and learn all about it. It will tell you all you need to know before having a Botox treatment.

I earned my Medical Degree from UC Irvine and completed my residency in Dermatology at UCLA. Upon completing my residency, I joined the full-time faculty at UCLA as a Clinical Instructor and Professor in Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. I then went on to complete advanced fellowship training in Dermatologic Surgery at UC Davis and Cosmetic Dermatology at the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of Northern California with world-renowned expert, Dr. Suzanne Kilmer. After fellowship, I was appointed the Director of Dermatologic Surgery at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California where I remained active in clinical trials and have been on the forefront of the latest advances in aesthetics and dermatology. As an Orange County native, I love the SoCal community and currently enjoy being a Dermatologist in Newport Beach, CA.

My areas of expertise include cosmetic dermatology with a focus on injectable neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), as well as dermal fillers (Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, Sculptra, Restylane, Belotero, and Radiesse). In addition, I travel nationally and internationally where I teach other physicians injection techniques and about the latest advances in dermatology. I am highly-trained in the use of lasers and energy-based devices to treat all aspects of photoaging, including fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, brown spots and facial vessels. I offer a comprehensive approach to body contouring with the use of minimally-invasive procedures. In addition, I specialize in Dermatologic Surgery including Mohs micrographic surgery, blepharoplasty, skin cancer excisions, sclerotherapy, surgical earlobe repair and cosmetic tattoo excisions.
