What Is Botox?
Botulinum toxin type A is the refined protein in “Botox,” which temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. Botox is a mild neuromodulator that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and prevents new wrinkles from forming, maintaining natural expressions. This is why Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world. At DermaGlow Lab, our licensed and trained aesthetic professionals deliver Botox in Calabasas such that changes are modest and highlight your natural beauty.
How Does Botox Actually Work?
Botox in Calabasas is much easier than you think. Repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and smiling lead to wrinkles. After the injection, Botox blocks the nerve signals to those muscles, making the skin above look smoother and more youthful. The best part? You will still look like you, just a more contemporary version.

Is Botox Right for You?
If you’re looking for a safe, discreet, and effective treatment for crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines (on the nose), gummy smile, TMJ for teeth grinding, Botox may be an ideal choice for you. It is further ideal for trapezius muscle for slimmer looking shoulders and neck, lip flip, chip smoothing, and also helps with excessive sweat with injections to the armpits, soles of the foot, and hands. Men and women, generally age 18 and older, in good health, who are hoping to look younger or improve their facial appearance, may all be good candidates for Botox in Calabasas. In addition to crow’s feet around the eyes or frown lines, we also treat areas such as the bunny lines by the nose, smoker’s lines, or lip lines. Along with that, we treat dimpling of the chin, the platysmal lines of the neck bands, and masseter slimming (for jawline shape).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Botox, and how does it work?
A purified botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes specific muscles by blocking acetylcholine (the signal that tells muscles to contract).
What does Botox do?
It softens “dynamic” wrinkles caused by movement (frown lines/11s, forehead lines, crow’s feet). It can also calm jaw clenching (masseter), lift brows slightly, and reduce underarm sweating (medical uses vary).
What are the benefits of Botox?
Smoother skin, a more rested, natural look, quick treatments, minimal downtime, and predictable results that you can fine-tune over time.
What does a Botox treatment session involve and how long does it take?
Brief consult, skin cleanse, tiny injections with a fine needle, post-care instructions. 5–10 minutes of injections (plan 15–30 minutes total visit).
Is Botox painful? What about side effects and downtime?
Most feel pinches or pressure; numbing or ice is optional. Common, mild effects: redness, tiny bumps, or small bruises for 1–2 days. No real downtime—avoid rubbing, heavy workouts, saunas, or facials for 24 hours.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Start to see change in 3–5 days, peak at 10–14 days. Results usually last 3–4 months (some 4–6 months, varies by dose and metabolism).
Will I look older when Botox wears off?
No. You simply return to your baseline movement. Lines slowly reappear as the effect fades; you don’t suddenly look older.
What happens if you stop Botox altogether?
Nothing harmful. Muscle activity returns, and lines gradually come back based on your natural aging and expressions.
How expensive is Botox in Calabasas?
Typically $12–$18 per unit. Common areas use ~10–25 units each, so most visits land around $200–$600+, depending on your plan. (We’ll quote precisely at consultation.)
What are the risks or downsides of Botox?
Temporary headache, bruising, asymmetry, or less commonly eyelid/brow droop if product migrates; rare allergy. Not for pregnancy, breastfeeding, or certain neuromuscular disorders. Choosing an experienced injector and following aftercare minimizes risks.
