Botox Injections in Salinas and Monterey, CA

botox-injectionIf you are looking for a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment for dynamic facial lines, the best answer is likely Botox®. At Salinas Valley Plastic Surgery Associates™, our incredibly skilled Revitalessence™ injectors perform Botox® therapy for qualifying patients at our Salinas location.

What is Botox® Used to Treat?

When used cosmetically, Botox® treatments can help with the following concerns:

  • Vertical glabellar lines between the brows, also called frown lines
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Horizontal forehead wrinkles
  • Perioral lip lines
  • Chin wrinkles
  • Vertical neck bands

Botox® was also approved by the FDA for treatment of various other medical issues, such as:

  • An oversensitive bladder
  • Excess sweating in the underarms (hyperhidrosis)
  • Chronic and prolonged migraine headaches

How Does Botox® Work?

Botox® is a neuromodulator comprised of botulinum toxin type A, or more precisely, OnabotulinumtoxinA. By suppressing nerve impulses to the muscles, Botox® injections temporarily paralyze contracted facial muscles. This allows the muscles to relax and lie flat, smoothing out the overlying skin. The treatment can also delay the development of new lines.

Is Botox® Right for You?

Patients with one or more of the symptoms described above are typically excellent candidates for Botox® therapy. Botox® injections may often be performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as Juvederm® or eyelid lift surgery.

Most cosmetic Botox® patients are in their early 30s to late 40s and have mild to moderate dynamic lines. They also cannot have any allergy contraindications to the formula or be pregnant or breastfeeding.

The Botox® Procedure

Botox® takes just minutes to administer, has minimal side effects, and comes with results that last three to four months. Incisions or general anesthesia are not required. At the start of the treatment session, a topical anesthetic or icing will be used to numb the area, helping to avoid pain and discomfort. A thin needle will then be used to strategically deliver three to five doses of Botox®.

What Happens After a Botox® Session?

No special recovery time or healing is necessary after a treatment session, and patients can return to their daily schedules right away. Slight bruising and swelling may be present for a short time. To keep experiencing the amazing effects of Botox®, you’ll need to schedule routine follow-up appointments as desired.

Botox® Cost and Financing

The price of your Botox® skin rejuvenation treatment will depend on the number of symptoms being addressed, their severity, and the number of appointments scheduled. Future sessions are usually billed separately. If you would like to finance the cost of your Botox® treatment plan, we offer financing through CareCredit® for qualifying applicants.
