Neurotoxin Injections in Pasadena, CA
Neurotoxin Injections
Smooth dynamic wrinkles and enjoy a refreshed, younger-looking complexion without surgery. At DIOO Medical Aesthetics in Pasadena, our neurotoxin treatments, including Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, offer a safe, effective solution to reduce fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expression.
Whether you’re concerned about forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines between the brows, our licensed providers specialize in precision injections to soften these areas while still preserving your natural expressions. Treatments are customized to your anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring refreshed results with minimal downtime.
How It Works
Neurotoxins like Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® contain small amounts of Botulinum toxin type A. When properly administered, they temporarily block nerve signals to facial muscles, stopping repetitive muscle contractions that form dynamic wrinkles.
Each session typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll see minor softening within 2–5 days, with full results most evident by two weeks. Effects usually last 3 to 6 months, depending on your metabolism, exercise level, and treatment area. Follow-up sessions help maintain your results consistently over time.
Our providers use a conservative, customized approach targeting only the areas that need attention, refining your look while keeping it soft and natural.
Aftercare Tips
Following your injection session, we recommend these best practices in order to maximize results and minimize side effects:
- Within 24 hours, do not rub or massage treated areas to prevent toxin migration
- After treatment, remain upright for 4 hours and avoid lying flat during that time
- Skip vigorous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours to reduce bruising and inflammation
- Avoid facials, laser, and waxing on treated areas for at least 48 hours if possible
- Use sun protection diligently, as treated skin may be more sensitive
- Follow-up touch-up appointments (if needed) within 2 weeks to assess the final result
Treatment Areas
Common areas treated with neurotoxin injections include:
- Forehead lines – Smooth horizontal lines formed by raising your eyebrows
- Glabellar lines (11s) – Vertical lines between the brows that appear when frowning
- Crow’s feet – Fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes
- Bunny lines – Lines around the sides of the nose
- Marionette lines or downturned corners of the mouth – Slight lifts can soften a frown
- Neck bands (platysmal bands) – Vertical lines in the neck area that can be softened with neck Botox
- Gummy smile, modest fine-tuning, or brow lift – Strategic injections can subtly lift brows or reduce upper gum show
Many patients combine neurotoxins with dermal fillers for volume enhancement or with collagen biostimulators like Sculptra® or Radiesse® for longer-lasting skin structure support.
