Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics
Premium Eye Care in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, & Redondo Beach
If you are seeking a non-surgical, no downtime treatment for softening facial expression lines and refreshing your appearance, BOTOX® Cosmetic may be the perfect solution. At Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics in El Segundo, we offer personalized BOTOX® treatments that deliver natural-looking results, so you can look like the best version of yourself.
What Is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the country and one of the most requested aesthetic services at our El Segundo practice. This FDA-approved neuromodulator temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines that form over time from repeated facial expressions, such as the “11s”, or frown lines, between your brows or the horizontal creases across your forehead.
Through a series of precise BOTOX® injections, our expert injectors can both help you reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and prevent them from becoming deeper and more prominent. This injectable treatment is highly sought-after as a quick, effective, no-downtime facial rejuvenation solution.
Common Treatment Areas
BOTOX® is commonly used to treat the following cosmetic concerns:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (between the brows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Lip lines or “smoker’s lines”
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
- Downturned corners of the mouth
Why Choose Us for BOTOX®?
Even though BOTOX® is not a surgical procedure, it is important to choose a highly qualified medical provider to perform your BOTOX® treatments to ensure your safety and optimal outcomes. At Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics, our doctors are extensively trained and experienced with BOTOX® Cosmetic, having successfully treated hundreds of patients at our office in El Segundo.
During your consultation, we carefully evaluate your facial anatomy and speak with you about your cosmetic goals, so we can create a customized treatment plan that delivers subtle, balanced, and natural-looking results.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
BOTOX® appointments usually take only 10–15 minutes. Our provider will first determine the optimal injection sites for your unique needs and aesthetic goals. Next, precise amounts of BOTOX® will be injected with an ultrafine needle.
What to Expect After BOTOX® Injectiont
BOTOX® does not require an extensive recovery period or downtime. You can return to most normal activities right away, though you should postpone high-intensity exercise and excessive heat and sun exposure for 24 hours.
Mild redness or swelling may occur at the injection sites. These symptoms typically subside within a few hours.
Initial results begin to show within three to five days, and the full effect of your BOTOX® injections can be expected within 14 days. BOTOX® results last three to four months, on average.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does BOTOX® cost?
The price of your BOTOX® procedure will reflect the number of treatment areas and units of product needed. Detailed cost information for your personalized treatment will be reviewed with you during your consultation.
How long does BOTOX® last?
On average, results last three to four months. With regularly scheduled follow-up treatments, you can maintain your refreshed look long-term.
Will I look unnatural or “frozen” after BOTOX®?
When BOTOX® injections are administered by qualified medical providers like those at Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics, your results will look natural. We are meticulous about determining the optimal dosage and injection sites to preserve natural facial movements.
When should I start BOTOX®?
There’s no “perfect” age to start BOTOX®. Some patients start in their late 20s or early 30s as a preventive measure, while others begin treatment later, after developing visible lines.
Can I combine BOTOX® with other treatments?
Yes. BOTOX® can be used in combination with complementary cosmetic treatments like dermal fillers, AquaGold®, or laser skin resurfacing for enhanced results. During your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic concerns, review your medical history, and create a targeted treatment plan for achieving your desired outcome.
Can BOTOX® be used for conditions other than wrinkles?
Yes. BOTOX® can also be used to treat migraine headaches, excessive sweating, jaw clenching/TMJ symptoms, and eye and neck muscle spasms. If you’re interested in BOTOX® for medical reasons, our qualified providers can assess whether it’s a good fit for your needs during your consultation.
What are dynamic wrinkles?
When you smile, laugh, frown, or look puzzled, you contract the muscles of your face. These contractions produce visible furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. These lines and creases can make you look sad, angry, tired, or older than you feel.
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments can not only prevent you from deepening these lines during natural facial movements, they can also smooth away these signs of aging, leaving you looking younger and more refreshed.
