Smooth Wrinkles And Refresh Your Look In Los Angeles
BOTOX® Cosmetic at The Med Spa at The Practice in the Los Angeles area is an injectable treatment that creates smoother, younger-looking skin by temporarily weakening the muscles that cause facial wrinkles when they contract. The treatment can be performed alone to address a single area of the face where signs of aging are especially visible, or it may be combined with other options for an overall rejuvenated look.

I have a few friends who see Aubrey for their filler and Botox and their results are always top tier. I was impressed by how refreshed my friends looked after seeing Aubrey and decided to give it another shot (pun intended). My experience with Aubrey was a night and day difference. I finally understand what people mean when they say getting their lips injected isn’t abject torture. It was virtually painless and I love how chill Aubrey is. She’s super knowledgeable but has the best vibe and makes getting injections done a breeze. 5/5 would recommend! - Molly Teter Via Google My Business
Benefits Of Botox Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic by Allergan is FDA-approved to reduce the appearance of wrinkles between the eyebrows, forehead lines, frown lines, and the fine lines next to the eyes, known as crow’s feet. Years of use by medical professionals have established that injections can also treat the lines on the sides of the nose (sometimes referred to as “bunny lines”) and soften pesky vertical upper lip lines (often called “smoker’s lines”) and frown lines. In addition to treating upper lip lines, the injectable can be used for a BOTOX “lip flip” that creates a subtle lift to a down-turned upper lip. It can also be injected above the brows to create a subtle brow lift, improving brow arch and shape and drawing attention to your eyes.
More recent applications have shown that BOTOX can be used as a “preventative” measure against certain visible signs of aging. If you start treatments as soon as you notice the formation of subtle expression lines on your face, the effects of BOTOX may be able to help you delay new wrinkles from forming.
BOTOX can also be used for non-cosmetic applications, including chronic migraines, teeth grinding, blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking or eyelid movements), strabismus (a condition where both eyes do not line up in the same direction), cervical dystonia (involuntary contractions of the neck muscles), overactive bladder or incontinence, and excessive sweating in the palms and underarms (hyperhidrosis).

How Does Botox Cosmetic Work?
The active ingredient in BOTOX is a protein derived from botulinum toxin type A, then purified. This neurotoxin blocks nerve signals responsible for the contraction of certain facial muscles that cause the appearance of wrinkles like crow’s feet and frown lines.
BOTOX injections are the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the United States.1 BOTOX has been studied, tested, and used for both medical and cosmetic procedures for decades, with FDA clinical trials and approvals for a range of applications and millions of treatments performed around the world each year.
Preparing For Botox Treatment
We advise patients to avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications, such as Ibuprofen and Advil, as these can increase the risk of swelling and bruising afterward.
Your Botox Procedure
BOTOX treatment is a quick, non-surgical procedure conducted in our comfortable Beverly Hills office. Each session involves precise injection of Botox into specific muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight “pinch” at the injection site.
Botox Recovery
The injection site may appear slightly swollen and red after a Botox treatment, with some tenderness, discomfort, or itching in the treated areas. These effects usually subside within hours to a few days. Visible results typically begin to appear within 5-7 days, revealing smoother skin that can last for 3-4 months.2
Who Is A Good Candidate For Botox Treatment?
If you are troubled by crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, wrinkles at the side of your nose, or vertical lines above your lips, you may benefit from treatment with BOTOX. The ideal candidate for BOTOX is in good overall health, is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and has no history of medical conditions that impact the neuromuscular system. Each client is different, so the best way to determine whether BOTOX would accomplish the changes you want is to arrange a consultation with one of our injectors.
Why Choose The Med Spa at The Practice For Botox?
Because BOTOX is so versatile and effective, it is important to work only with injectors who are thoroughly trained and experienced in its use. Many people in non-medical settings, from salons to house parties, may offer BOTOX®, but you can maximize your safety and get the best cosmetic results possible by choosing a professional medical setting for your injections.
Dr. Cassileth has carefully chosen our expert injectors, and they are each skilled in advanced applications, using precise micro-injections for results that can make you appear younger and rested, but never waxy or frozen. Our clients tell us they love the natural, subtle, and wrinkle-banishing results delivered by our trained providers.
Frequently Asked Questions About Botox
BOTOX injections are considered to be a safe procedure when administered by an experienced injector. Side effects of treatment with BOTOX are very rare, and may include:
- Pain, bruising, or swelling at the injection site
- Flu-like symptoms or headache
- Nausea
- Temporary facial drooping or muscle weakness
- Trouble swallowing
- Double vision
- Dry eyes
- Allergic reactions
Many of the signs of aging BOTOX is designed to treat are known as “dynamic wrinkles.” Dysport®, another injectable derived from botulinum toxin type A, is also excellent for treating dynamic wrinkles like frown lines. The word “dynamic” here refers to motion since the lines develop as muscles repeatedly contract over time. Other wrinkles, however, form primarily due to collagen loss and other changes in the skin. These are known as “static wrinkles.”
Static wrinkles are best addressed by applications of dermal fillers, such as JUVEDERM®, which add volume below the surface of the skin to smooth out lines. Fillers can also restore youthful contours in areas where volume loss has caused hollows to develop and facial tissues to sag.
BOTOX injections are often combined with other treatments, such as laser skin resurfacing or chemical peels that address fine lines and tone problems.
Women and men who want longer-lasting, more dramatic changes to facial contours and skin texture may consider surgery, such as a brow lift or blepharoplasty, instead.
Yes! Another benefit in choosing Cassileth Plastic Surgery and Skin Care for BOTOX injections is our team’s experience with treatments designed specifically for men. “Brotox” is a popular cosmetic procedure for guys who want to look refreshed in order to gain a competitive edge in the workplace, to put their best look forward on dating profiles, or simply to gain a little more youthful confidence.
