Refresh Your Look, Preserve Your Expression

Fine lines and wrinkles are often the first visible signs of aging, but they don’t have to define your expression. Wrinkle-relaxing neuromodulators, like Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport, are trusted, FDA-approved treatments that smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements — like frowning, squinting, or smiling — while preserving your natural appearance.

At Bueno MD Facial Aesthetic Surgery in Folsom, CA, every Botox treatment is performed by a facial aesthetics expert. The practice’s boutique approach ensures each injection is customized to your features, leaving you refreshed, youthful, and authentically you.

What Is Botox?

The Gold Standard of Wrinkle Care

Botox, and alternatives like Dysport or Xeomin, are neuromodulators derived from botulinum toxin type A. When carefully injected into targeted muscles, they temporarily relax their activity, softening wrinkles and preventing new lines from forming.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows)
  • Forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
  • Bunny lines (across the nose)
  • Lip lines or gummy smile correction
  • Neck bands (platysmal bands)

Botox has been trusted worldwide for decades and is known for delivering subtle, natural results when administered by an experienced injector.

What Is a Botox Procedure Like?

A Quick, Comfortable Experience

Treatment is quick and straightforward. After a consultation to assess your goals and anatomy, our facial specialist strategically places a series of tiny injections in specific muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, and the entire appointment typically takes less than 30 minutes.

There is little to no downtime — many patients return to work or daily activities right away.

What Conditions Does Botox Address?

Versatile and Personalized

Botox is a highly versatile injectable, with each treatment tailored based on a careful assessment of your cosmetic concerns and patterns of muscle movement. Common uses of Botox include:

  • Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows)
  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Bunny lines across the nose
  • Lip lines or gummy smile correction
  • Neck bands (platysmal bands)
  • Non-surgical brow lift
  • Jawline slimming (when used in the masseter muscle)

Botox does more than treat existing signs of aging. Younger patients can benefit from preventative Botox treatments, which slow the formation of new lines in areas with repetitive muscle movement, helping preserve smooth, youthful skin.

Am I a Candidate for Botox?

Candidates and Considerations

You may be a good candidate for Botox if you:

  • Notice wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement
  • Want to prevent signs of aging before they deepen
  • Are in good health and not pregnant or breastfeeding

Botox Recovery

Healing in Hours, Not Weeks

Recovery after a Botox treatment is minimal. You may notice mild redness or swelling at the injection site, which typically fades within a few hours. To ensure the best results, avoid lying down, strenuous exercise, or rubbing the treated area for the first 4–6 hours.

Results begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effects visible in about 2 weeks.
