BOTOX
Benefits of BOTOX Over Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery can yield more dramatic results that can change the look and structure of a patient's face or body. This can be beneficial for those looking for a permanent option, but BOTOX injections can come its own list of benefits over plastic surgery.
Less Invasive
A small needle is used to inject the BOTOX serum into the skin. Since no surgical cuts are required, no scarring accompanies the procedure. You may have some bruising and swelling following treatment, but these symptoms will heal in a few days.
Quick Procedure
From your commute to the office to leaving, the process typically takes less than an hour. Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the injection site but does not impair your senses, allowing you to drive home following your procedure.
No Downtime
This skin care option is also known as the "lunchtime procedure." If you are an ideal candidate, you can undergo the treatment and walk out of our Orange County office pain-free, just in time to return to your busy day.
Fast Results
Patients who undergo this injectable skin treatment can see the rewards nearly instantly. BOTOX Cosmetic results appear within three to five days of your office visit.
Temporary
The youthful effects of BOTOX last approximately three to six months. This allows you to see how you like the results and debate if you'd like more of the treatment without fully committing to a dramatic cosmetic change.
Concerns BOTOX Can Treat
Botulinum toxin can help treat a variety of cosmetic concerns. If you're looking to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles, BOTOX injected into the skin can help target concerns in the following areas:
Do You Qualify? Candidacy Factors
Injectable treatments have far fewer candidacy factors than plastic surgery treatments, but still, Dr. Cohen will consider a few factors before recommending BOTOX treatment for you.
Age
The FDA requires patients that receive BOTOX for cosmetic purposes be over 18 years of age. Patients in their mid to late 20s and early 30s often start the BOTOX process to prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming as they age.
Non-Smoker
Nicotine breaks down collagen, making the effects of BOTOX last a shorter time for patients who smoke than for nonsmoking patients. To get the most out of your treatment, we recommend you quit smoking before undergoing BOTOX.
Realistic Expectations
BOTOX helps smooth your skin and reduce wrinkles in the future, but it doesn't dramatically change your appearance. If you want to change the structure of your facial features, we recommend you look into our plastic surgery options for more dramatic results.
Skin Health
It's important your skin is in good health before receiving BOTOX Cosmetic. No injuries or infections should be present at the time of your procedure, as these problems can increase the risk of side effects following your BOTOX procedure.

Revance RHA
The most popular dermal filler at our practice, Revance RHA® uses a specially formulated version of hyaluronic acid known as Resilient Hyaluronic Acid. Revance RHA adapts to facial movements for unparalleled results.
DAXXIFY
Also known as daxibotulinumtoxin, DAXXIFY® is an effective neuromodulator that uses a novel peptide to help enhance its active ingredients. Anti-aging results typically last around six months and as long as nine months.
JUVÉDERM
JUVÉDERM® is a dermal filler that uses concentrated hyaluronic acid to plump and smooth the skin. It can also be used to add volume to the cheeks and lips.
Restylane
Another dermal filler, Restylane®, uses hyaluronic acid to plump and add moisture to the skin. It has a thicker consistency than JUVÉDERM, making it great for building facial volume.
Dysport and Other Options
BOTOX Cosmetic isn't the only botulinum toxin our office offers. Depending on your concerns, a different kind of botulinum toxin, such as Dysport®, may be better suited for your needs.
