Smooth, Refreshed and Still You
Many women start with areas such as forehead lines, frown lines or crow’s feet. Also, some choose Botox early to soften lines as they form.

Men often want to soften deep frown lines as well as forehead creases. Because men usually have stronger facial muscles, dosing is adjusted for you.

How It Works
How Botox Cosmetic Works
Specifically, Botox® Cosmetic is a purified protein made from botulinum toxin type A. When it is injected in very small amounts, it blocks the nerve signals that tell certain muscles to contract. As a result, the muscle relaxes, and the line above it softens.
In addition, Botox is not a filler, so it does not add volume. Instead, it works best on lines caused by movement.
- Day 0
Your Visit
First, your provider marks the areas, and tiny injections take about 10 to 20 minutes.
- Days 3–5
First Changes
Then, lines start to soften as the treated muscles relax.
- Day 14
Full Results
By about two weeks, you see the full effect, so this is a good time for a check-in.

Time to Refresh
Finally, results fade gradually, and most people return every 3 to 4 months.

Questions
Botox FAQs
How much does Botox cost in Riverside?
Cost depends on the number of units and areas treated. For current pricing and specials, call 951-374-0127 or ask during your consultation.
Does Botox hurt?
Most people feel only a quick pinch, since the needle is very small. In addition, the visit is usually over in about 10 to 20 minutes.
How long does Botox last?
Results usually last about 3 to 4 months. However, this varies from person to person, and some people find results last longer over time.
Is Botox good for men?
Yes. In fact, more men choose Botox every year, especially for frown lines and forehead creases. Also, men often need a different dose because of stronger muscles.
Will I look frozen?
Not when it is done carefully. Instead, your provider uses the right dose for each area, so you can still move your face naturally.
Is there downtime?
Usually there is little to no downtime, so most people go back to work the same day. Small bumps or redness often fade within an hour.
