BOTOX® in Newport Beach, CA

Neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport are versatile treatments that can address various areas of the face and neck. Common treatment areas include horizontal forehead lines, vertical lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), crow's feet around the eyes, bunny lines on the nose, lip lines, chin dimpling, neck bands, and jawline contouring. Additionally, neuromodulators can be used for non-cosmetic purposes such as treating excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet. Dr. Ghazizadeh evaluates each patient's unique concerns and goals to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to their individual needs.

Discomfort during Botox or Dysport injections is typically minimal and well-tolerated by most patients. The needles used for injection are very fine, and the procedure is relatively quick, often lasting just a few minutes. While some patients may experience mild discomfort or a slight pinching sensation at the injection sites, any discomfort is usually brief and resolves quickly. Dr. Ghazizadeh may apply a topical numbing cream or ice pack to the treatment area before injections to further minimize discomfort and enhance patient comfort during the procedure.

Age alone does not determine eligibility for Botox or Dysport treatment. Both men and women of various ages can benefit from neuromodulator injections to address dynamic wrinkles and lines caused by muscle movement. While older individuals may have more pronounced facial aging concerns, including deeper wrinkles and volume loss, neuromodulators can still be effective in reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and providing a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Ghazizadeh assesses each patient's unique anatomy, concerns, and goals to determine the appropriateness of Botox or Dysport treatment, ensuring safe and effective outcomes.

Patients typically begin to notice the effects of Botox or Dysport within a few days to a week after treatment. However, the onset and duration of results may vary among individuals based on factors such as the type and amount of neuromodulator used, the treatment area, and individual metabolic rates. While some patients may see noticeable improvement within a few days, optimal results typically develop gradually over the course of 1 to 2 weeks. Dr. Ghazizadeh advises patients to wait at least 1 to 2 weeks before assessing the full effects of their wrinkle injections and to schedule a follow-up appointment if additional touch-ups or adjustments are desired.

Yes, Botox and Dysport are increasingly popular among men seeking to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Common treatment areas for men include forehead lines, glabellar lines (between the eyebrows), crow's feet, and neck bands. Neuromodulator injections can effectively soften wrinkles and lines caused by muscle movement, providing natural-looking results without downtime. Dr. Ghazizadeh understands the unique aesthetic goals and concerns of male patients and tailors treatment plans to address their specific needs, ensuring discreet and natural-looking outcomes.

The cost of Botox and Dysport treatments in Newport Beach varies depending on factors such as the type and amount of neuromodulator used, the treatment area, the expertise of the injector, and geographic location. Dr. Ghazizadeh's office can provide detailed pricing information during the consultation, tailored to the individual's specific needs and goals. While cost is an important consideration, patients should prioritize the experience and qualifications of the injector, as well as the quality of care and results achieved.
