BOTOX® is the only FDA approved neurotoxin for facial use, and when injected into muscles can effectively treat frown lines and crow’s feet. Most commonly performed in the area between the eyebrows, to soften and smooth the lines that cause an angry look or frown. Results usually last from three to four months.

Dr Edween will inject enough Botox to get the desired effect on the wrinkles, but still allow for some natural facial movement. Schedule an appointment to learn more about getting your own BOTOX® in Los Angeles.

Soft Tissue Fillers

Soft tissue fillers are injectables similar to BOTOX® which are placed in the areas of the face which have lost volume and fullness. They help plump up fine lines and restore a more smooth and youthful appearance. There are a variety of fillers that are available, and sometimes you may need a combination of products to get the best restoration to the area. My patient’s satisfaction rate is high; they get a woman’s soft touch combined with my innate aesthetic sense states Dr. Edween. Learn more about BOTOX.
