Botox is a prescription injectable that relaxes the specific muscles whose repeated contractions etch lines into the skin. The frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead creases, and crow's feet around the eyes are the classic targets. Treated conservatively, the lines soften while your natural expressions stay intact.
Botox suits people who notice:
Botox treats lines caused by muscle movement. Lines caused by volume loss or sun damage need different tools, like filler or laser resurfacing, and you will be told which category your lines fall into.
Every face moves differently, so Dr. Goel maps your muscle activity before injecting anything. Dosing is conservative and placed precisely, which is what preserves expression. The appointment takes about 15 to 20 minutes with no downtime. You can return to your day immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise until tomorrow.
Smoothing begins within a few days and settles fully at about two weeks. Results typically last three to four months. Many patients find that consistent treatment trains the muscles, gradually extending the time between visits.
Plenty of places offer injections. Few offer a plastic surgeon trained at USC's Keck School of Medicine who was Chief Resident at UC Irvine. Anatomy knowledge is the whole difference between frozen and refreshed.
Not with conservative, precise dosing. The goal is softened lines with full natural expression, and that is exactly what is planned.
Injections use a very fine needle and take seconds per site. Most patients describe a brief pinch.
Whenever lines begin bothering you. Some patients start preventively in their late 20s and 30s, others begin later. There is no wrong age, only wrong dosing.
Softer lines, same you. Book a Botox appointment with Dr. Goel in Beverly Hills.
