How Does BOTOX Work?
BOTOX is a therapeutic muscle relaxer and one of the world's most popular anti-aging treatments. It works by carefully targeting and limiting the continuous muscle motions in your face that cause "dynamic wrinkles" like frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. This fast and effective treatment creates an almost miraculous smoothing effect, leaving you with a refreshed and naturally younger-looking appearance that can last for months.
For the best results, it's crucial to have your BOTOX treatment performed by a professional injector who understands how to use the product conservatively to achieve a smoother look, not a frozen one. At Forever Ageless, you can trust our team to provide a meticulous treatment and help you look your best.
Is BOTOX Right for You?
Choosing a cosmetic treatment is a personal decision, and it’s natural to have concerns. You may worry about looking unnatural, "frozen," or losing the unique expressions that make you, you. It's smart to have these questions, and it’s important to find a provider who not only listens to them but also has the techniques and skill needed for natural-looking results.
At Forever Ageless, we believe in subtle, elegant results. Our patients trust our expert injectors to provide BOTOX treatments in Orange County that enhance your appearance without changing your unique look. You’ll still look like yourself, just more youthful and rested. We’re dedicated to helping you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results that make you feel your best.
Before and After Gallery
What Does BOTOX Treat?
BOTOX is widely used in aesthetic medicine to smooth facial lines and refresh your appearance. At Forever Ageless, it is commonly used for cosmetic purposes to treat:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Horizontal forehead creases
- Squint lines between the brows
- Neck lines and banding
Beyond cosmetic purposes, BOTOX injections can also be used to help manage issues such as chronic headaches, excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis), and other medically related concerns.
The BOTOX Treatment Process
Your BOTOX session at Forever Ageless begins with a thorough cleansing of the treatment areas. We apply ice or a topical numbing cream to ensure your complete comfort during the procedure. Using a very fine needle, your provider will carefully inject BOTOX into specific facial muscles based on your unique needs.
Most patients receive multiple small injections in one session and can return to their usual activities immediately afterward. To ensure the best results, we recommend avoiding lying down for at least four hours and postponing exercise for 12 hours following your treatment.
BOTOX for Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. If you are one of the millions of people who struggle with overactive underarm sweat glands, our Orange County BOTOX treatments can provide real relief. The FDA has approved BOTOX for treating hyperhidrosis since 2004. It works by blocking the secretion of the chemical that activates sweat glands in the underarms.
Dr. Joe Cerni offers BOTOX injections for this uncomfortable and embarrassing condition and will advise you if this treatment is right for you. Lasting treatment requires several injections into the underarm area. Although this condition requires a higher number of BOTOX units, Dr. Cerni offers value-based pricing to ensure treatment remains accessible and positive for his patients.
How Long Does BOTOX Last?
Every person has a unique metabolism, but for most patients the facial skin will appear smooth, with creases and wrinkles fading away in about one week. While every person reacts slightly differently to BOTOX, the effect lasts several months before the lines and wrinkles begin to return.
The beauty of the BOTOX treatments is that facial lines and creases will not become deeply-etched into your skin, and simply visiting us at Forever Ageless every three to four months for a fast, non-invasive treatment will keep you looking young, refreshed, and well-rested for far longer.
What is Recovery Like?
The recovery period after a BOTOX treatment is very minimal. There is virtually no downtime, and our Orange County patients can return to work or their usual routine immediately after their session is complete. You may notice some small, red bumps or mild redness around the injection sites, but these typically disappear within about one hour.
To ensure the best results, we recommend avoiding massaging the treated areas, drinking alcohol, or engaging in strenuous exercise for the rest of the day after your appointment.
