Are fine lines around the eyes and deep forehead creases starting to dull your confidence? If you're searching for an effective, nonsurgical way to fight signs of aging, you're not alone. BOTOX has become a trusted facial rejuvenation treatment among patients at Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine. 

Dr. James D. Fontaine specializes in procedures that deliver natural, beautiful results. Below, we explore the top reasons to choose BOTOX in San Diego, CA. 

What is BOTOX, and how does it work? 

BOTOX is a neuromodulator that reduces muscle activity in targeted areas of the face. This prevents repetitive facial expressions, such as squinting and frowning, from causing wrinkles. Common BOTOX injection sites include:  

  • Crow's feet (wrinkles around the eyes) 
  • Forehead lines and creases 
  • Frown lines (sometimes called "11 lines")

Why choose BOTOX as a facial rejuvenation treatment? 

BOTOX is a quick, relatively painless procedure with minimal downtime. Some benefits of BOTOX include:  

  • Say goodbye to wrinkles: Whether it's fine lines around the eyes or deep forehead creases, BOTOX is a simple way to help achieve a smoother-looking complexion. 
  • Prevent signs of aging: Younger patients in their 20s and 30s use BOTOX to delay the appearance of wrinkles and keep their skin looking youthful for longer. 
  • Quick treatment and results: BOTOX treatments are fast and convenient, lasting no more than 15 – 20 minutes. Within a few days, you can expect visible results. 
  • A trustworthy facelift alternative: Unlike traditional facelift surgery, BOTOX is a noninvasive option that doesn't require scarring or extensive downtime. 
  • Minimal side effects: BOTOX is considered a safe and effective treatment with few side effects. Some patients experience mild bruising or redness that usually subsides quickly. 

What to expect during and after BOTOX treatment 

As we mentioned, the treatment is fairly quick and straightforward. Dr. Fontaine will assess your facial muscles to determine the most effective BOTOX injection sites possible. We then administer the treatment that has minimal discomfort. You can resume normal activities almost immediately. However, Dr. Fontaine recommends avoiding strenuous exercise and refraining from touching your face for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
