What is BOTOX?
Years of making the same facial expressions, like smiling, laughing, and frowning, can create unwanted lines and wrinkles. Diminishing these signs of aging on the upper face is simple and safe with BOTOX injections at The Plastics Doc. If you don't have these signs of aging yet but want to stay ahead of the aging process, BOTOX injectable treatments can also help to head off the development of minor dynamic expression creases. BOTOX injections are a filtered strain of type A botulinum toxin that temporarily weakens the movements of the muscles that allow us to make particular facial expressions. The crevices created from these repetitive facial expressions are called “dynamic” because they are due to facial activity. Plastic surgeon Dr. Samuel Salcedo can perform BOTOX to help soften the look of these lines by restricting these facial expressions and allowing your skin above the muscles the ability to smooth itself without interference.
Can I Get BOTOX?
BOTOX injections are a great option if you want to smooth the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles on your face nonsurgically. Often thought of as a preventive treatment, BOTOX can even help prevent signs of aging if wrinkles have not yet formed. It's a terrific nonsurgical approach if you have forehead lines or frown lines between the brows. It is also a terrific solution for lines that form around your eyes. If you experience deeper wrinkles, a filler product may be a better option. Furthermore, if you are older with a lot of elasticity loss, you could consider a facelift for an optimal outcome. Depending on your degree of skin elasticity and desired outcome, Dr. Salcedo will go over if BOTOX treatments are the best for you during your consultation.

BOTOX® Reviews
Dr. Salcedo and his office staff are so professional and helpful. Everyone is so personable and caring for the outcome you are trying to achieve. All the work that I have seen that has been performed by Dr. Salcedo have been absolutely stellar. Myself and my wife have been frequent clients and we don't see ourselves going anywhere else. Give Dr. Salcedo and his staff a try, you won't regret it!
This is hands down one of the best Plastics practice to exist, period. I first came here for the Aveli treatment. Once I met the staff and Dr. Salcedo, I was instantly sold. I booked it in April and am happy with the results so far. Because of my positive follow ups, I’ve trusted them with more services like masseter Botox and just recently, a Hydrafacial and filler with Nurse Claire. She’s the newest addition and is so sweet and knowledgeable. She answered all concerns and then some. I booked my next procedure with Dr. Salcedo without hesitation because simply put: this is a practice with heart and ethics. This is how it should be. Thank you Dr. Salcedo, Kristen, Destiny, Marcela, Alexa, and the whole Plastics Doc team for looking out for your patients. 💖
I just love the plastic Doc family, I’ve been coming her for about Two years and pretty much done Surgery, laser treatment , botox IV Hydration, I pretty much done everything and plan to do more!
My wife did her Botox & breast augmentation procedure at the Plastics Docs and she is extremely satisfied with their professionalism and their customer service. We chose this office because of all the wonderful reviews on Yelp and they stand behind everything you see and read. We highly recommend to do any procedure you plan to invest in at this office. Especially if you plan to make alterations to your body. My wife was hesitant about doing a procedure like this but they made me her feel comfortable and confident with her decision. Thanks again to Dr. Saulcedo and his entire team. Five Star service!
The Plastics Doc Medspa is my favorite self care! Words don’t do justice to the amazing skin care treatments/facials performed by Claire. She is beyond knowledgeable on skin concerns and treatment. My acne prone/ rosacea skin has never looked better. From ZO Peels to light therapy to hydrafacials, she knows it all. Nurse Cely does a AMAZING job with filler. I’m in love with my new lips. She made me feel beautiful with my new lips. The friendly staff; Destiny, Valeria, and Alexah make my visits feel like home. Can’t forget to mention Marcela and Dr. Salcedo’s expertise. I’m definitely a client for life.

How is BOTOX Administered?
BOTOX treatments are available as an outpatient procedure at either of our The Plastics Doc locations in Corona or Beverly Hills, CA. During your consultation with plastic surgeon Dr. Salcedo, you will be asked to make a few expressions using your upper face, like squinting, frowning, etc., which will help him determine injection placement. This specific injection is most commonly placed between the eyebrows, on the Crow's feet, and along the forehead. Once ready for the injection, your face will be prepared and BOTOX will be injected under the skin through a fine needle, followed by a cool compress to help alleviate discomfort, swelling, and bruising. You can request a numbing cream to make the procedure more comfortable, but it usually is not necessary. BOTOX injections typically take about 10 – 15 minutes, and the great part is you can return to your usual day almost immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I look fake after BOTOX?
Our popular BOTOX formula allows your features to look soft and wrinkle-free. However, BOTOX should be administered by a skilled professional for the most natural-looking results possible. Dr. Salcedo has experience helping men and women achieve refreshed and rejuvenated outcomes.
How does BOTOX compare to other wrinkle relaxers?
There are small but noticeable differences between BOTOX and other wrinkle relaxers in Corona and Beverly Hills, CA. We can explain the differences in the formula, which may impact the time it takes to see results and how long the results will last. Our goal is to match patients with the perfect treatment option, whether it's BOTOX or another product.
Are BOTOX injections painful?
Most patients won't need a numbing cream before BOTOX treatment. Most discomfort is felt after the injections, and any side effects are temporary. You may feel a small pinch as the needle is administered into the skin. Our team at The Plastics Doc can ease your fears and provide options if you are concerned about pain.
Are BOTOX injections safe?
BOTOX is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for a reason: it has been extensively studied and shown to be safe for cosmetic results. That said, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks involved. Our team can review all possible complications before treatment so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Are BOTOX injections safe?
Absolutely! BOTOX can be combined with other cosmetic treatments like dermal fillers for optimal results. Dermal fillers can help address volume loss and plump up areas that seem hollow or gaunt. We have helped countless patients achieve their desired look with custom treatment plans.
What is the recovery time for BOTOX?
There is minimal recovery time required for BOTOX. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
What Can I Expect After My BOTOX Injections?
Following your BOTOX treatment, you can get right back to your daily routine. Keep in mind, however, strenuous activities, like exercise, should be avoided for 24 hours following your treatment. For best results, sleep with your head elevated for at least one night and do not touch your face so you don't accidentally spread the BOTOX to other areas. The treated sections of your face may be slightly red, bruised, or swollen for 2 – 3 days, but you will not have any serious or long-lasting side effects. In most cases, it usually takes just about a week before you will see your final results of BOTOX. The results generally last 3 – 4 months. Dr. Salcedo or a member of his team can help you decide how often to get follow-up treatments at The Plastics Doc to extend your results.
