About

BOTOX is a Botulinum Toxin Type A treatment that targets the cause of fine lines and wrinkles. It is administered by injection preventing the communication between your nerves and your muscles. BOTOX causes specific facial muscles to relax, knocking out those stubborn wrinkles, including frown lines, furrows between the brows, and crow’s feet.

Laughter, sadness, anger and surprise – your face shows all of your emotions to the world. And a lifetime of emotions means your facial muscles have been put to the test, leading to wrinkles, crow’s feet, and laugh lines. This natural aging process can make you look older than your actual years. Fortunately, BOTOX visibly improves facial wrinkles and provides smoother, more youthful skin for up to four months.

I always have such a great experience with the team members of esthetica san diego, especially with Dr. Kouli. I see Dr. Kouli for all of my botox and injectable needs. I would highly recommend him, and there is no one better! I appreciate how honest he is, never trying to over-sell his patients (which a lot of doctors tend to do in my experience) and does just enough for you to look natural.

Botox Areas

BOTOX injections can revitalize the face and take years off your appearance. Here’s a closer look at how we use BOTOX to combat aging on your most important facial features:

THE EYES

Dynamic wrinkles around the eyes are very common. Fortunately, artfully placed BOTOX injections are highly effective in smoothing away crow’s feet in this delicate area.

THE FOREHEAD

Creases and wrinkles on the forehead can be easily smoothed away with BOTOX injections at our San Diego area medical spa. The medicine temporarily relaxes the underlying muscles that are causing the lines, thus softening them on the skin’s surface.

THE BROWS

After years of laughing, frowning and moving your face, wrinkles inevitably appear in between the eyebrows. These stubborn furrows are a telltale sign of aging that can make you look years older than you feel. Fortunately, a quick BOTOX treatment can dramatically minimize these wrinkles and restore your youthful expression.

THE JAW

Jaw contouring is a recently discovered benefit of Del Mar BOTOX injections. If you have oversized jaw muscles, BOTOX can subtly sculpt the area and create the soft, oval face shape you desire.

Procedure

When you arrive at our San Diego area medical spa for your BOTOX injections, a member of our staff will greet you and guide you to your private treatment room. You will then sit comfortably in a reclining chair while we assess your face and determine the appropriate locations for the injections.

No anesthesia is necessary during your BOTOX treatment. However, if you have a particularly low threshold for pain, we can numb the target area to ensure your comfort. If you experience any pain during the injection process, it will be temporary and very mild. The entire process takes about ten minutes, and at that point you will be free to return to work and your normal daily routine right away.
