BOTOX®
BOTOX® For Upper Face
Looking for Botox on the Upper Face?
Are you tired of frown lines and glabella lines between your eyebrows? Get rid of that tired or angry look with BOTOX® injections. Our experienced practitioners can subtly smooth these lines, giving you a rejuvenated and relaxed appearance. For deep-set glabella lines, we recommend a combination of dermal filler and Botulinum Toxin for optimal results. Fill and smooth the area simultaneously!
Finding the right anti-wrinkle injections practitioner is crucial. Don't settle for anything less than the best!
Concerned about forehead lines and wrinkles? Known as forehead wrinkles or 'surprise lines,' they become more prominent as we age. Start exploring preventative treatment options in your late 20s or early 30s for the best results. Delaying treatment can make it harder to achieve your desired outcome.
Genetic aging, sun damage, and smoking contribute to horizontal forehead lines. Our anti-aging injectables can help reduce their appearance, although complete removal may not be possible. During your consultation, our practitioners may recommend a combination of BOTOX® and other treatments like dermal fillers, micro-needling, Ultherapy, or Thermage.

BOTOX® For Bunny Lines & Hooded Eyes
Eliminate Bunny Lines on the Top of Your Nose with Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Discover how to get rid of those pesky 'bunny lines' that appear when your nose wrinkles up, like when you sniff or smell something. These creases can be reduced by strategically placing anti-wrinkle injections at the sides of your nose. However, it's crucial to have an experienced practitioner administer the injections to ensure your smile is not affected. Trust the experts for flawless results!
Achieve Perfect Eyebrows and Lift Hooded Eyes with Advanced Techniques
Unveil the advanced technique for sculpting and lifting your eyebrows to achieve the desired shape. Known as a 'chemical brow lift' or 'BOTOX® facelift,' this procedure involves strategic injections in specific areas of the upper face by an experienced practitioner. By targeting these areas, the eye area opens up, and droopy lids are lifted.
As we age, the brow naturally drops, resulting in a hooded appearance of the eyelid and horizontal folds in the surrounding skin. Counteract these effects effectively with Botulinum Toxin Injections that raise and define the eyebrows. However, it's essential to use this treatment sparingly in the area to avoid the overarched, 'surprised' look that's easily recognizable.
While the current trend favors a natural-looking, low arch known as the 'boy brow,' it's important to consider each individual's unique face shape. Your practitioner will determine the precise placement of injectable treatment and the intended overall result during your consultation. Trust the experts to enhance your eyebrows and revitalize your appearance!
BOTOX® For Lower Face
Discover the Best Places for Botox on the Lower Face
Looking for Botox to address lipstick lines and other concerns on the lower face? Lipstick lines, the fine lines around the mouth that become more noticeable with age, are commonly treated with dermal fillers rather than BOTOX®. While some practitioners may use Botulinum Toxin injections to enhance smiles by turning the corners of the mouth up, it's typically done in combination with dermal fillers.
For other lines around the mouth, dermal fillers are often recommended to achieve a refined and smooth surface with minimal risks. Another popular use of BOTOX® is for chin dimpling prevention. Overactive chin muscles, known as the mentalis muscles, can create a puckered or dimpled appearance. Relaxing these muscles with Chin BOTOX® helps smooth and reduce the dimpled effect, combating factors like tissue loss, sun exposure, bone loss, gum recession, and a receding chin.
Jawline and neck issues are common as we age, including lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Genetics, gravity, weakened collagen, and overworked facial muscles contribute to these concerns. The Nefertiti lift, a procedure using BOTOX®, effectively smooths the neck by relaxing two types of lines:
Horizontal Lines: Aging leads to the formation of horizontal creases or bands on the neck. Small amounts of Botulinum Toxin are injected above and below the wrinkles, even extending all around the neck. This treatment is sometimes referred to as a BOTOX® 'necklace' and can be combined with injectables and dermal fillers like Juvéderm for optimal results.
Vertical Lines: Some individuals, especially those who exercise frequently, develop rope-like vertical protrusions on the neck that are prominent during speech. These bands are caused by the platysma muscles and are often referred to as a 'turkey neck.' Relaxing and smoothing these bands can be achieved with BOTOX® treatment.
Find the top-notch locations for Botox on the lower face to address your specific concerns and achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

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?
BOTOX injections are a very popular cosmetic treatment for the following reasons:
- 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.
