BOTOX® Cosmetic
Years of showing emotion on our faces can to leave wrinkles and lines throughout the skin—particularly between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose, across the forehead, and at the corners of the eyes. On many people, frown lines produce an angry or sad look that detracts from a pleasant facial appearance. Minimally invasive BOTOX® Cosmetic in San Luis Obispo at The Aesthetic Center can soften features and take the years off.

What Is BOTOX Cosmetic?
BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes muscles. During treatment, very small amounts of the product are injected into facial muscles, causing targeted and temporary relaxation. The lines and wrinkles gradually smooth out and new creases are prevented from forming. Other facial muscles, like those needed to raise the eyebrows, are not affected. This helps maintain a natural-looking expression.

At The Aesthetic Center, our team of aestheticians are extremely skilled and experienced in using BOTOX both to prevent early signs of aging and to treat a variety of immediate concerns. BOTOX is especially useful for treating the following symptoms:
- Vertical lines between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose
- Squint lines or crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Platysmal muscle bands (vertical lines) often visible on the neck
- Lower facial muscles such as the masseter muscle (to lessen the squareness and fullness of the lateral jawline), wrinkles around the mouth, and turning down at the corners of the mouth
Depending on your specific concerns, your aesthetician may make a recommendation that’s different than BOTOX. For example, microneedling can be a great alternative, using your skin’s natural ability to heal itself to reduce the appearance of scars, dullness, and certain lines.
What Happens During Treatment?
In San Luis Obispo, BOTOX treatment involves injection of very small amounts the product into the underlying muscles using an ultra-fine needle. Because the injections may sting slightly, we offer topical anesthetic cream to keep you comfortable. The length of your appointment will depend on the areas being treated, but you can expect to be in our office for between 10 and 30 minutes.
It’s likely that no one will notice that you have had the treatment right afterwards because the improvements appear gradually. BOTOX and Dysport take effect in as little as 1 to 2 days. Improvements generally last 3 to 6 months, and are maintained with touch-up treatments every 3 to 6 months. Often results last longer with touch-ups than after the initial treatment.
Let’s start working together to bring out the best in your face. Request your consultation online or call us at (866) 374-3762 to book your appointment over the phone.
