Botox in Encino, CA

Natural-Looking Botox in Encino & Beverly Hills

All Botox treatments are performed by Dr. Alex Eshaghian, MD, PhD. Our approach focuses on subtle, refreshed results — never frozen or overdone.

What Is Botox?

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that relaxes specific facial muscles to reduce wrinkles caused by repeated expressions.

Botox is most commonly used to treat: • Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
• Crow’s feet around the eyes

By relaxing targeted muscles, Botox softens existing wrinkles and helps prevent deeper lines from forming.

Most treatments take 10–15 minutes and require no downtime.

How Botox Works

Facial expressions like smiling, frowning, and squinting create “dynamic wrinkles.” Over time, these lines become visible even when your face is at rest.

Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific muscles. When those muscles relax: • Skin appears smoother
• Wrinkles soften
• New wrinkles form more slowly

Results look natural because only targeted muscles are treated.

Areas Botox Can Treat

Botox can be used to treat multiple facial areas:

• Forehead horizontal lines
• Frown lines (11s)
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
• Lip flip
• Chin dimpling
• Neck bands (platysmal bands)
• Brow lift

• Forehead lines: 10–30 units
• Frown lines: 20-30 units
• Crow’s feet: 24 units
• Brow lift: 8 units
• Lip flip: 4–6 units

During consultation, we choose the best product for your goals.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox?

Good candidates typically: • Want to reduce expression lines

• Want preventative treatment
• Want natural, subtle results

Many patients begin Botox in their late 20s to early 30s for prevention.

Who Should Avoid Botox?

• Have certain neuromuscular conditions
• Have allergies to Botox ingredients

A consultation helps determine safety and suitability.

Does Botox Look Natural?

When performed conservatively by an experienced physician, Botox should: 

 • Soften wrinkles

• Preserve natural expression

• Look refreshed, not frozen

Our philosophy is subtle, natural results.
