BOTOX
Botox is one of the most trusted and effective treatments for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.
Approved by the FDA, Botox is a neuromodulator made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. At Aesthetics MD in Newport Beach, we offer personalized Botox treatments to help you achieve a naturally youthful appearance, with subtle results that keep you looking refreshed, not frozen.

CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
When selecting a Botox injector, skill and expertise make the difference between a natural result and looking frozen. Our certified Botox injectors apply a special technique created by Dr. Mark Anton that offers more effective and more natural results.

The primary ingredient in Botox, botulinum toxin, temporarily freezes the muscles, relaxing the area and helping the wrinkles smoothen over time.
Botox is an extremely versatile procedure! It is FDA-approved to treat a myriad of cosmetic and medical issues. Most popularly, it is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles in adults.

BOTOX RECOVERY
There may be redness at the injection site for a few hours. Bruising is uncommon but can occur and is resolved within 3-5 days.
To minimize bruising, patients can apply pressure to the injection site for ten minutes following treatment. As a true lunch break procedure, injections are quick with no recovery time, and you may continue normal activity aside from strenuous exercise.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Results from Botox treatments can start to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible within 7-14 days. The treatment temporarily reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and results generally last between 3-4 months, depending on your individual experience and treatment area.
For best results, it’s recommended to maintain regular Botox treatments as the effects gradually wear off over time. Consistent treatments will ensure long-lasting wrinkle reduction and a youthful appearance.
frequently asked questions
Are Botox injections painful?
Most patients feel only a slight pinch or prick. If you’d like, your injector can also apply ice or a numbing agent to your face before and after your procedure.
Are there risks and side effects associated with Botox?
All procedures come with risks such as infection, bleeding, and allergic reactions.
Very rarely, serious complications have resulted from Botox leaking and spreading to unintended body areas.
Possible side effects of Botox include:
- Weakness
- Throat swelling
- Facial swelling
- Flu-like symptoms
- Changes in vision
Is Botox safe?
It is when performed by a trained and experienced injector who uses only FDA-approved Botox and materials.
Botox has been approved for use in 95 countries, and results of safety and efficacy research have appeared in more than 500 peer-reviewed articles and journals.
Injections of Botox and similar neuromodulators are annually the most-performed nonsurgical cosmetic procedure performed in the United States.
How often can I get Botox injections?
We recommend regular follow-up injections to optimize and prolong results, separated by at least three months.
Will I look "fake" after Botox treatment?
Not if your injections are administered by a trained, licensed, and skilled provider. At Aesthetics MD, we create natural and balanced results. The only “difference” others will notice about you is how much better you look!
What's better? Botox or fillers?
Both are very effective in reducing or eliminating wrinkles. Fillers last longer, but Botox costs less, however, they work in very different ways.
Botox is ideal for relaxing dynamic lines caused by facial expression and preventing static, deeper lines from forming. Filler is used to restore lost volume and fill in deeper lines such as using Belotero for smile lines.
Will my insurance pay for Botox treatment?
If your Botox injections are given for purely cosmetic reasons, your insurance will not pay.
But if there are legitimate and documented medical reasons for your treatment, your insurance may cover all or part of the costs. Determine your eligibility for insurance benefits prior to your treatment.
How much does Botox cost?
The cost of Botox in Newport Beach will depend on how many units of Botox you need and the size and locations of your treatment areas.
