BOTOX Cosmetic is one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the U.S. for those looking to treat specific facial signs of aging. Over time, lines, wrinkles, and folds develop on our face from years of smiling, laughing, and frowning. Eventually, the lines and wrinkles become more permanent and can make you look older. While our San Diego BOTOX treatments deliver temporary results, the outcome is excellent, and with routine maintenance and care, it has been proven to deliver great aesthetic results. This treatment has been shown to safely smooth facial wrinkles for a more youthful complexion. At Avalon Laser, Dr. Reza Tirgari has decades of experience treating patients using BOTOX Cosmetic injections.

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin type A, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a purified form of the toxin into specific muscles to temporarily paralyze them.

Is It Important To Get BOTOX Done By A Licensed Practitioner?
Unlike other facial fillers, BOTOX Cosmetic is made up of a toxin and is, therefore, considered more complex than alternative treatments. However, it has been FDA-approved for the use of facial anti-aging as well as some medical conditions such as migraines and excessive underarm sweating.

Benefits Of BOTOX
Cosmetic in San Diego
Our San Diego BOTOX is generally reserved for patients who are unhappy with specific facial signs of aging, as well as those who wish to slow down the process of aging. Shortly after treatment, targeted lines and wrinkles disappear almost completely, giving the patient a more youthful and smooth facial appearance.
Once BOTOX is injected under the skin, it freezes certain muscles that normally contract and cause facial wrinkling. As a result, patients not only experience excellent, immediate aesthetic results but also prevention from further wrinkling of facial skin due to the muscle’s inability to contract and cause additional wrinkles and lines.
BOTOX Can Help Smooth Areas Of The Face Including:
- Smile lines
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Glabella lines (between the eyebrows)
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Brow lines
- Deep neckbands and neck lines
Same Day Appointment
Our BOTOX treatments can be done in our office by appointment, and you may be able to come in on the same day you call! please contact us by filling out the form on this page or by calling us at (619) 831-8964 today. We reserve time in our schedules for all filler and BOTOX appointments.
We ask clients that they provide at least a 24-hour notice before any changes or cancellations to scheduled appointments in order to avoid incurring a cancellation fee or forfeiture of service.
Cost Of BOTOX In San Diego
The cost of treatments can vary based on how many units are needed and which areas of the face are being treated. The average price is between $11 and $13 per unit, with needing potentially 20-60 units per treatment.
Candidates For BOTOX In San Diego
As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to know if you’re a candidate for a procedure before undergoing treatment. At Avalon Laser, all patients are thoroughly examined prior to treatment and their medical history is carefully reviewed. Those who are determined not to be good candidates are advised alternative treatments that are safe yet deliver similar aesthetic results.
BOTOX Cosmetic has been FDA-approved since 2002 and is one of the safest injectables available. While it’s safe, there are exceptions for those who have certain medical conditions. Those who are pregnant, have a neuromuscular disorder, or suffer from ALS shouldn’t undergo this treatment. BOTOX Cosmetic should only be administered to those between the ages of 18 to 65.
Side effects with this treatment are extremely rare but are possible. Side effects may include:
- Nausea
- Allergic reactions
- Headaches
- Undesirable swelling
- Muscle weakness
At Avalon Laser in San Diego, we have never treated a patient with BOTOX Cosmetic who has experienced any adverse side effects. This is because we make sure that each patient considering the treatment is a good candidate based on strict medical criteria.
BOTOX Recommended Dosages
BOTOX For Excessive
Underarm Sweating In San Diego
Both men and women are affected by hyperhidrosis, a condition in which an individual experiences excessive sweating. The condition affects nearly 2-3 percent of Americans and can be a very uncomfortable situation because no matter what you do, you can’t seem to control the sweating. And the foul smell can appear even just minutes after you get out of the shower. You may not be able to wear certain types of clothing because of the excess sweat seeping through the underarm area.
Preparation And Aftercare
Once you’ve completed your consultation and decided that BOTOX is the right treatment for you Dr. Tirgari will go over what you can expect in terms of preparation and aftercare. When treatment instructions are properly followed, your procedure can be optimally safe and effective.
Before Treatment
Before your BOTOX in San Diego, please avoid any medications that can increase the risk of bruising, including aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. It can be helpful to avoid fish oil supplements and herbal remedies that may have the same effect. Make sure you consult with your physician before changing any prescribed medications. Please also avoid any peels, topical remedies, etc. that will affect the area before your treatment and for at least 2 days after. Please advise the staff if you may be pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
During Treatment
Your practitioner may apply ice and pressure to the area to help with comfort and to reduce bruising. Some fullness, numbness or tightness in the area can occur.
After Treatment
It is helpful to stay upright for about four hours after the injection. This reduces the risk of complications and also helps reduce bruising. Avoid heat to the treated area, (i.e. hot showers, face wash, Jacuzzis, saunas, yoga, baths, etc.) and prolonged sun exposure for at least 24 hours. Avoid strenuous activity for at least 1-2 days. Do not massage the treated area or get facials for at least 3 days. A maximum response can be expected within 7-14 days after injection. Some small red dots or minor bruising may be visible on the skin after treatment. These can be cleared with alcohol or makeup remover immediately after. Minor bruising typically resolves within hours to a few days. Light makeup can be used as needed. If proper amounts are used, the effects typically last 3-4 months. For underarm injection for hyperhidrosis, this may last up to nine months. It’s helpful to make your next appointment before the effects are completely resolved. A mild headache may occasionally occur. This is normal. Tylenol is ok if needed. Contact us in San Diego immediately if you should feel numbness or weakness around the eye muscles, any drooping of the eyelid or any other weakness, difficulty swallowing or any allergic-type reactions.

Baby Botox
Another Botox treatment offered by Dr. Tirgari is Baby Botox, also known as micro-Botox. Baby Botox is a method of Botox treatment in which only a tiny amount of Botox is injected into the facial skin. As a result, the neurotoxin is still able to take effect, but it creates more of a subtle change in the appearance of the skin. Baby Botox is a very popular option for patients who are curious about Botox but aren’t quite ready to commit to the full treatment. Baby Botox is also a good choice for those who are looking to achieve more subtle, natural-looking skin rejuvenation, as it doesn’t tighten or smooth the skin quite as much as a standard dose of Botox would. Because Baby Botox involves less of the neurotoxin than standard Botox, it’s also slightly less likely to cause any side effects.
