To gracefully address facial wrinkles and lines in the upper face, Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, CA, provides BOTOX®. This popular injectable treatment offers exceptional results for both men and women. BOTOX significantly improves dynamic lines, caused by facial muscle contractions from expressions, affecting the forehead and eye area. While these lines fade with relaxation, BOTOX can effectively reduce their appearance.
Botox, a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, is used to temporarily limit facial muscle movements, thereby reducing dynamic wrinkles. Plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schoemann typically administers these injections to smooth the skin by targeting areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (Crow's feet).
Botox is an FDA-approved neurotoxin injection designed to temporarily relax overactive facial muscles. By blocking nerve signals in key expression areas—such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet—it softens dynamic wrinkles and can also subtly lift the brows.
Procedure Technique
Botox treatments in Encinitas, CA, often occur during the initial consultation for first-time clients. Patients make facial expressions for precise injection placement. The skin is cleansed, and Botox is applied with a fine needle. A cold compress minimizes bruising, swelling, and discomfort. A numbing cream is available upon request. The process lasts 10-15 minutes, allowing patients to immediately resume normal activities.
Botox smooths wrinkles caused by muscle movement, including:
It’s also commonly used for medical purposes like mild migraines, hyperhidrosis, or jaw muscle relaxation.
Botox is FDA-approved for the face, neck, and upper chest—but is also used off-label for neck spasms, jaw tension, and underarm sweating.
Botox softens wrinkles without eliminating expression—helping you look rested and refreshed, not “done.”
With consistent use, Botox may help slow the development of new wrinkles.
BOTOX provides a nonsurgical approach to diminishing dynamic facial lines and wrinkles.
It's suitable for reducing existing signs of aging and can even serve as a preventive measure based on your facial expression habits. If forehead lines, lines between the brows, or eye wrinkles bother you, BOTOX is a great option. For deeper lines, fillers might be more effective. Individuals with sagging skin and widespread wrinkles might consider a facelift for more substantial and lasting results. Surgical alternatives like eyelid surgery, facelifts, and brow lifts are also offered at Schoemann Plastic Surgery.
After the procedure, you can return to your usual routine, but avoid strenuous activity for at least one day. You will be asked to sleep with your head elevated for the first night and avoid touching your face, as this may inadvertently spread the treatment to other areas. The treated areas of the face may appear red, bruised, or swollen for 2 – 3 days, but you will not develop any long-lasting or serious side effects. In many cases, it typically takes 5–7 days for the full effects of BOTOX to be visible. The results typically last 3–4 months. You should speak with your injector about scheduling your next appointment at Schoemann Plastic Surgery to extend your results.
You’ll notice wrinkle softening within 3–5 days, with maximum effect at 10–14 days. Results generally last 3–4 months, varying by treatment area and metabolism.
