Botox® Huntington Beach.

At House of Aesthetics Med Spa, Botox is $14 per unit. Most cosmetic areas require 20–40 units — forehead lines typically require 10–30 units, crow’s feet use 10–15 units per side. We provide a transparent unit estimate before treatment. Masseter/TMJ treatments are quoted at consultation.

Botox typically lasts 3–4 months. Longevity varies based on muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment area. Your optimal maintenance schedule is discussed at your follow-up appointment.

Discomfort is minimal. We use ultra-fine needles and most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. Topical numbing cream is available on request.

There is no downtime. Return to work immediately. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and lying flat for 4 hours. Avoid rubbing treated areas for 24 hours.

Softening begins within 3–5 days, with full results at the 14-day mark. A complimentary 2-week follow-up is included with every appointment.

Never. Our advanced multi-layer mapping technique ensures you maintain full facial expression while smoothing away unwanted lines. The “frozen” look results from overdosing — something we carefully avoid.

For 24 hours: avoid rubbing injected areas, strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and lying flat. Avoid alcohol day-of. Skip facial massages and chemical peels for 2 weeks.

It is recommended not to consume alcohol for 24 hours. It can thin your blood and make it more likely to bruise.

Alcohol right after treatment can have adverse effects on your body including dehydration, dry skin and increase chances of bruising around your injection site.

It can also thin your blood and make it more likely to break down clots, which will slow down the healing process.

While everyone metabolizes Botox at slightly different rates, here’s a general timeline for when you can expect to see results:

• Initial Improvements: You might notice subtle changes within the first 2-3 days after treatment.
• Significant Results: Most people see noticeable wrinkle reduction within 7-10 days.
• Full Effect: Maximum results are usually achieved around the 2-week mark.

Important Factors:

• Treatment Area: Some areas may show results faster than others.
• Dosage: The amount of Botox used influences how quickly you notice effects.
• Individual Metabolism: How your body processes Botox plays a role in result speed.

Yes, you should still be able to move your eyebrows after Botox when administered by a skilled injector. Here’s what you can expect:

• Targeted Relaxation: Botox strategically weakens specific muscles that create frown lines and horizontal forehead wrinkles.
• Preserved Movement: The muscles responsible for raising your eyebrows are generally not the primary targets, allowing for natural movement.
• Subtle Results: Our injectors at House of Aesthetics aim for a refreshed look, not a completely frozen forehead.

Important Note: Overly aggressive injections in the forehead area or an inexperienced injector could unintentionally affect eyebrow movement.

Botox, when administered skillfully, should enhance your natural features without making you look overdone or artificial. Here’s why skilled injectors create natural-looking results:

• Understanding Facial Dynamics: Experienced injectors at House of Aesthetics have in-depth knowledge of facial muscles and how they influence expressions.
• Subtle Results: Our approach focuses on softening wrinkles while preserving your ability to make natural facial expressions.
• Conservative Dosage: We typically start with a lower dose, adding more if needed at a follow-up for a gradual, natural enhancement.
• Personalized Technique: Your treatment is customized to your facial structure and goals, avoiding a cookie-cutter appearance.
