Los Angeles BOTOX® Cosmetic
Wrinkles are one of those things that are never in style - especially in Los Angeles. BOTOX® Cosmetic helps Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Burbank, and other area men and women who want to improve the appearance of "dynamic wrinkles" - those wrinkles caused over time by repeated facial expressions like squinting, laughing or frowning.
So many patients at the Lisa Benest Dermatology & Laser Center choose BOTOX Cosmetic because it is highly effective and safe for treating wrinkles around the eye, in between the eyebrows, on the forehead, and around the mouth. BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein that relaxes facial muscles and holds them in place in this relaxed state for several months to achieve wrinkle reduction.

BOTOX for Studio City, Burbank and Sherman Oaks
BOTOX Cosmetic injections have become a popular method to reverse visible signs of aging and provide a more youthful appearance. Treatments take only minutes and are performed right in our office setting. Using a very small needle, several injections are placed directly into the facial muscles that are causing the dynamic wrinkles. You may feel a slight pinch as the injections occur, and a local anesthetic can be applied if you are experiencing any significant discomfort.
The protein in BOTOX Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses to the facial muscles, relaxing tightened muscles in the treatment area. The amount of BOTOX Cosmetic our patients from Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley communities such as Studio City, Burbank, and Sherman Oaks require will depend on such factors as the level of wrinkling and the muscle characteristics in the area to be treated.
Many people who are considering their wrinkle treatment options may want to consider injectable fillers like collagen, Restylane® and Juvéderm® in addition to or instead of BOTOX. Not sure which treatment is best for you? Our skin care professionals are happy to evaluate your skin needs and recommend an effective option.
Fast Facts on BOTOX Cosmetic
Here are some of the most important things you need to know if you are considering BOTOX Cosmetic at our Burbank treatment center.
Number of treatments required: A single treatment can keep your skin looking smooth and youthful for about 4 months. After this time, the facial muscles which originally caused the wrinkles will begin to contract once again unless a follow-up treatment is administered.
Treatment Time: BOTOX Cosmetic takes just 10-15 minutes to perform, making it ideal for "lunchtime" procedures. You will be in and out of our office quickly.
Recovery Time: Another advantage of BOTOX is that there's no recovery time. Makeup may be applied immediately.
Results: Smoother skin around the eyes and on the forehead, with softened wrinkles. You will still retain the ability to make a full range of facial expressions.
Real Patient Story
"I saw Perry [Smith] two weeks ago for my first BOTOX injections and I am thrilled with the results. I told her that I wanted a natural look and what she did is just perfect. My deep lines and creases are fading day by day. Meanwhile, my friends have been commenting that I look calmer, happier, and well-rested. And I haven't had a headache since I got the injections. Wow! I was so nervous beforehand, and now I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BOTOX (and Dr. Benest's office) to any of my friends. Thanks!" - K.R.
