Botox: Westwood - Los Angeles

We’re located at 11620 Wilshire Blvd Suite 700 Los Angeles, CA 90025, where our treatment center provides top-tier Botox services in a professional and accessible medical office environment.

Though Botox is often sought after for aesthetic wrinkle reduction, it also has FDA-approved therapeutic uses. These include relief from excessive sweating, treatment for recurring migraines, management of neck muscle tightness, and help with bladder control issues. Botox is also effective in reducing muscle stiffness in both the arms and legs.

Many clients turn to Botox to ease wrinkles caused by frequent facial movement—but certain individuals may not be candidates. Those with neuromuscular disorders like myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, as well as those on anticoagulants, may face increased risks. Botox is also contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for pediatric use.

If you're considering Botox and live in or near Westwood, we recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our specialists. It’s vital to be honest about your medical conditions so we can make informed decisions about your care.

Yes, Botox has been cleared by the FDA for both cosmetic and medical uses, and it’s considered highly safe when performed by professionals. Complications are rare, especially in trained hands, and most patients experience no issues at all.

One of the main advantages of Botox is the lack of recovery time. You can go about your day as usual after the procedure, though we do recommend avoiding high heat, intense movement, or lying flat for the next few hours.

To lower your risk of post-treatment bruising, steer clear of alcohol, aspirin, and other anti-inflammatories for at least 24 hours. We suggest arriving with a bare face, but cleansing will be provided if necessary before the injection process.

The feeling of Botox injections is often described as a tiny pinch—very brief and tolerable for most people. We prioritize your comfort by using ultra-fine needles that minimize discomfort during the procedure. Clients traveling from Westwood may also request a topical numbing cream ahead of treatment to further ensure a calm and comfortable experience.

Patients in Westwood who receive Botox typically notice mild side effects such as slight swelling, redness, or bruising near the treated areas. These symptoms usually go away within a few hours to a couple of days. Rarely, some individuals may experience drooping of the eyelid or brow, but this risk is greatly reduced with an experienced injector.

If you develop serious symptoms such as vision problems, difficulty swallowing, or trouble speaking, please seek medical help immediately, as these could indicate an allergic reaction.

Avoid touching your face, intense activity, or lying down during the first four hours after your appointment. In addition, hold off on spa treatments, saunas, or facials for the first 24 hours to allow the Botox to settle properly.

The amount varies from person to person and depends on factors like your facial anatomy and the target area. Your provider will suggest the ideal dosage during your consultation to ensure balanced, natural-looking outcomes.

Yes, it’s common to enhance Botox results by combining it with dermal fillers or skin-focused treatments. A personalized plan from your provider will maximize the benefits and create a more refined overall result.

Botox typically lasts about 3 to 4 months. Scheduling your sessions on a regular basis helps maintain smooth results and can even improve longevity with repeated treatments.

This subtle lip enhancement uses a few units of Botox to relax the muscle above your top lip, creating a gentle curl outward. It’s a great option if you want a fuller look without adding volume through filler.

When placed carefully by a trained provider, Botox does not give you a frozen look. It’s designed to soften deep wrinkles while allowing your face to move naturally. You’ll still be able to express yourself fully—just without the pronounced lines and furrows.

It’s generally recommended to wait. Although Botox hasn't been shown to cause harm during pregnancy or breastfeeding, there's not enough data to guarantee safety. For this reason, most providers advise delaying any cosmetic procedures until you're no longer pregnant or nursing.

Wrinkle relaxers such as Botox and Dysport work similarly by interrupting nerve signals to muscles, resulting in fewer wrinkles. They vary slightly in how fast they act or how they diffuse in the skin. Your provider will help select the most effective option for your treatment plan.
