Do you have forehead lines and Crow's feet?

Common wrinkles like forehead lines and Crow's feet happen over years of making facial expressions like frowning or squinting. Why? Because our bodies naturally produce less collagen (a protein that improves skin elasticity) over time. Add factors like UV exposure or smoking, and those creases can deepen, leaving us looking older or more tired than we feel. But here's the good news: treatments like BOTOX can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles so you look as vibrant as you feel.

How does BOTOX work?

BOTOX is a neurotoxin that relaxes the muscles that lead to wrinkles. Unlike creams and serums that only treat the surface, BOTOX tackles the root cause of aging in the skin. During an appointment at Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine, we begin treatment by discussing your goals and creating a custom BOTOX plan. Then, we use a very fine needle to inject the cosmetic injectable into specific points on the face. The process is quick, easy, and generally considered painless.

What are the benefits of using BOTOX?

BOTOX is a go-to treatment for almost anyone looking to turn back the clock on aging. Why is it so popular in San Diego, CA? Here's why:

• Noninvasive option: BOTOX is nonsurgical, which means no incisions, stitches, or scars. This also translates to minimal downtime and recovery.
• Quick results: You can see BOTOX results about a week after treatment. Say goodbye to waiting weeks or months for changes to take effect.
• Customizable: Every face is unique, and our experienced team takes an individualized approach to your treatment plan.
• Natural outcomes: When done by an experienced professional, BOTOX can enhance your features while still allowing you to make natural-looking facial expressions.

How long does BOTOX last?

So, how long does BOTOX last for forehead lines and Crow's feet? Dr. Fontaine recommends booking a follow-up session 3 – 4 months after your initial appointment to maintain your results. However, the duration varies based on the areas treated and the amount of BOTOX used. Patients should follow all aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. Additionally, a consistent skin care routine and sun protection can go a long way in prolonging the effects of BOTOX.
