Reviews
What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX injections are a cosmetic treatment that can be used to rejuvenate facial skin, offering significant benefits for a fraction of the cost of a traditional facelift. BOTOX is FDA-approved and, unlike a facelift, it is a short office procedure with virtually no downtime. Often, injection treatments like BOTOX are offered in non-medical environments. However, it’s highly recommended to only entrust a certified BOTOX doctor with your facial fillers or BOTOX treatments.
CANDIDATES FOR BOTOX
BOTOX may be recommended by Dr. Katayoun Motlagh, sometimes in combination with other fillers depending on your needs, to address any of the below facial aesthetic concerns:
- Lines in the forehead
- Wrinkles and frown lines between the eyes
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
BOTOX treatments can also be used for other non-cosmetic applications, including treatment for chronic migraines and excessive sweating.
How Do BOTOX Injections Work?
BOTOX is injected into the little muscles of the face in order to limit their ability to move, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds. BOTOX brow lift, for example, specifically addresses wrinkle lines in the eyebrow and forehead area. Dr. Motlagh also offers Dysport®, which works similarly to BOTOX.
BOTOX injections can last for different amounts of time, with further variations depending upon your skin type and whether you’re using any additional fillers at the time of your treatment. Most patients experience results for at least 3 months following one treatment session.
What Do BOTOX Injections Involve?
Dr. Motlagh always recommends the treatment or combination of treatments that are not only best for the patient but also provide the results they want to achieve with long-lasting results. Sometimes, BOTOX and other treatments are used together in order to treat different areas and deliver more natural-looking results. Other times, BOTOX alone can give a patient their desired effects. Here’s what patients can expect when undergoing BOTOX injections:
- After a thorough consultation, Dr. Motlagh provides a recommendation for what she believes will best suit your needs. It is ultimately up to the patient to determine exactly what he or she wants in terms of look and cost.
- If you and Dr. Motlagh agree that BOTOX would be a good option, Dr. Motlagh will mark the areas to be treated and can get started.
- There is very little pain without an anesthetic, but for those who are concerned about needle pain, Dr. Motlagh can provide a local anesthetic so that you don’t feel any discomfort during your BOTOX injections.
- After your injections are finished, you can leave the office and continue your normal daily activities.
- You may experience some temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, but this will go away within a few hours of treatment.
What To Expect After Getting BOTOX
After your personalized BOTOX injections in Palmdale, CA at Kat Motlagh's Health Clinics, you'll be able to return to your normal activities, keeping in mind a few aftercare recommendations. You can expect:
- Some minor swelling, bruising, and redness in the treatment sites, but these symptoms shouldn't persist.
- Avoiding rigorous exercise and touching the injection sites for the next day or so.
- After 48 – 72 hours, most patients begin to notice their results.
- BOTOX injections typically provide up to four months of natural-looking, youthful aesthetic improvements.
Dr. Motlagh and her team will recommend how often you should receive BOTOX injections as part of a personalized plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals and maintain your results.
What are the advantages of undergoing BOTOX treatment?

- Both treatments help take years off the face, delivering a more youthful and well-rested appearance
- There is no need for invasive surgery and no downtime associated with treatment
- These cosmetic procedures are much less expensive than traditional facelifts
- If a patient is unsure about cosmetic surgery, the results of BOTOX or dermal fillers can provide a preview of the possible results

FAQ
HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?
Botox is made from purified Clostridium botulinum. Practitioners inject Botox into facial surface lines around the eyes, forehead and eyebrow regions. Botox temporarily prohibits facial muscles from creating crows feet and frown lines. Botox not only temporarily prohibits wrinkles and facial lines from forming but also prevents them from worsening.
HOW SAFE IS BOTOX?
Botox is exceptionally safe when administered by a professional. The global medical community has extensively researched Botox use for medical and aesthetic purposes.
WHAT DOES THE PROCESS LOOK LIKE?
The procedure is very quick and easy and does not require downtime. The pain level is very minimal as the materials used to inject are very thin so pain is a non issue. There is a sensation that is comparable to a simple pinch. There are numbing options for those who may have a fear of needles or are very sensitive to procedure situations.
