Botox should only be administered by a Cosmetic Physician who has familiarity with the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles to form, and that has experience with the exact placement of Botox to yield a natural appearance, without asymmetry or an overdone appearance.

The proper time to start Botox depends on the genetic makeup of a person’s facial muscles. Typically, many of our patients start in the upper 20’s, and it is the most popular cosmetic procedure for both sexes amongst all age groups.

Botox can be used to release wrinkles across the forehead and between the eyes (glabella), banish crow’s feet (the lines around our eyes),  lift eyebrows, and to relax vertical bands in the neck.

The cost of botox varies by the provider. We price our Botox by area injected, with significant discounts given when multiple areas are injected in the same session. This allows us to generate a price that reflects Dr. Arash Akhavan’s skill and expertise. Botox is a powerful drug, and can have some very serious side effects. For this reason, we suggest you always have your Botox injections from a board certified Dermatologist, well-trained in facial anatomy.

We generally inject Botox into 1 or more of the following 3 areas:
– Horizontal forehead “worry” lines
– 11’s, or vertical frown lines between the eyes, also called the glabella
– Crow’s feet, or horizontal and diagonal lines around the outer corners of the eyes

Botox can be injected into other locations, such as the neck to relax vertical bands. Dr. Akhavan can discuss which locations are suitable for Botox injection during your consultation.
