Micro Botox

Consultations offered at our two convenient locations in Las Vegas, NV and Beverly Hills, CA

A Botox facial utilizes the micro-channels created during a micro-infusion treatment to deliver skin-refining serums deep into the skin without affecting muscle movement. This is a great option for individuals who seek a non-invasive option to help smooth fine lines but are concerned about looking frozen. After the skin has been cleansed and numbing anesthetic applied, the micro-infusion system of choice is then gently moved across the treatment area, creating many tiny micro-injuries. The micro-infusion devices may vary, but the size of the needle is typically 0.1-0.25mm in diameter. The goal of this facial is to give patients tighter, younger-looking skin and a more rejuvenated appearance while simultaneously delivering nutrients to the skin.

About Micro Botox

The Micro Botox Facial at Beverly Hills MedSpa offers a non-invasive solution to smooth fine lines and refine skin texture. This treatment involves microdoses of Botox to relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles while promoting a refreshed, youthful glow. Ideal for those looking for a subtle lift and smoother complexion, the Micro Botox Facial requires minimal downtime and delivers natural-looking results that last.

This treatment combines a Micro-Infusion with skin-refining topical serums and with Botox that delivers customized skin solutions deep into the epidermis but not to the underlying muscle. This allows Botox to tighten the skin and not freeze the face.

Botulinum toxin, or botulinum neurotoxin (commonly called botox), is a highly potent neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species. It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction, thus causing flaccid paralysis. The toxin causes the disease botulism. The toxin is also used commercially for medical and cosmetic purposes.

In cosmetic applications, botulinum toxin is considered relatively safe and effective for reduction of facial wrinkles, especially in the uppermost third of the face.

Conditions treated

  • In cosmetic applications, botulinum toxin is considered relatively safe and effective
  • Injection of botulinum toxin into the muscles under facial wrinkles causes relaxation of those muscles, resulting in the smoothing of the overlying skin.
  • Smoothing of wrinkles is usually visible three to five days after injection, with maximum effect typically a week following injection.
  • Muscles can be treated repeatedly to maintain the smoothed appearance.

Standard areas for aesthetic Botox injections include facial and other areas that can form fine lines and wrinkles due to everyday muscle contractions and/or facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, squinting, and raising eyebrows. These areas include the glabellar region between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead, crow’s feet around the eyes, and even circular bands that form around the neck secondary to platysmal hyperactivity.
