What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
FDA-approved BOTOX® is an injectable treatment that minimizes the appearance of some lines and wrinkles on the face. The active component of BOTOX®, a refined protein, was licensed for cosmetic use in 2002, but the medical world has long relied on it for a variety of purposes. This protein is particularly good at reducing wrinkles brought on by movement, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and the vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows. This is because it prevents nerve signals from the brain to the affected muscles.
Why does it work?
BOTOX stops you from making the expressions that generate wrinkles in the first place, the injected neurotoxins block nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. BOTOX® smooths your complexion without impairing your capacity for facial expression. For years, some of the most prevalent age-related issues affecting both men and women have been successfully treated with this kind of injectable therapy.

What to expect?
Our BOTOX® treatment services offer a comprehensive experience for our clients. During your visit, your practitioner will consult with you to understand your concerns and goals. We take care to prepare the treatment area and provide comfort measures, such as numbing options if desired. Our skilled team administers BOTOX® injections with precision and follows up with post-treatment care instructions. You can anticipate your procedure to typically take 10 to 30 minutes.
Following your treatment, you are free to resume your daily activities at your convenience. It’s important to note that you may encounter minor injection site reactions, such as bruising, bleeding, tenderness, or itching. Rest assured, these reactions are normal and typically subside within a day or so.
Please keep in mind that the full effects of BOTOX® take approximately a week to become noticeable. The duration of results varies from person to person, typically lasting between three and six months. Factors such as your individual physiology and the injection site on your face can influence the longevity of the results.
What are dermal fillers?
While neurotoxins relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, dermal fillers restore volume and fill in wrinkles. Many of these fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which helps plump and hydrates your skin, and those with poly-L-lactic acid help rebuild your body’s natural collagen.
At Malibu Faces, the team offers a variety of dermal fillers:
Restylane
Restylane products are clear gels formulated to fulfill a specific purpose, including:
Fillers include:
• Restylane Lyft: cheek augmentation
• Restylane Refyne: smooths lines next to your mouth
• Restylane Silk: lip augmentation
Sculptra®
Sculptra doesn’t just fill wrinkles temporarily. Instead, it helps to gradually replace lost collagen, working with your body over the course of treatment — usually 3-4 months — to restore volume and diminish wrinkles.
Juvéderm®
Each product in the Juvederm collection is designed to add volume to a different area of the face.
Fillers include:
• Juvederm Ultra Plus XC®: parentheses lines around the mouth and nose
• Voluma®: adds volume to the cheeks
• Volbella®: lip lines
• Vollure®: moderate to severe facial lines
Radiesse®
Radiesse adds volume and stimulates your body to produce collagen. It can be used to treat facial wrinkles and to restore volume to the backs of your hands.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, which helps your body break down and absorb fat in the food you eat. A Kybella treatment breaks down the fat under your chin, called submental fat, destroying the fat cells. Treatments are permanent, though most patients require 3-6 treatments to get the desired results. Kybella does have possible side effects, including bruising, swelling, or numbness, and it is typically recommended that you wait several weeks between treatments.
