Botox Cosmetic Beverly Hills, CA
Botox is administered to our Beverly Hills patients via tiny injections directly into overactive muscles that cause lines to form. Botox works by blocking transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles, leading to muscle relaxation. The benefit lasts an average of four months. The effects are localized to the injected area; it does not travel throughout the body. Side effects are rare and generally limited to mild bruising, transient drooping of the eyelid or brow, and transient headache or numbness.
