Simi Valley Botox doctors

When properly performed Botox softens dynamic wrinkles. These are wrinkles caused by motion (i.e. dynamic). A person should still be able to smile, frown, cry, etc. In other words, when done properly and naturally Botox will not prevent somebody from showing or perceiving emotion. This is the real world situation. Of course, if someone were to use enough Botox to stop all muscle activity on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and in the crows feet area then it might blunt the appearance of that person's emotion. But this is not the result that one should strive for when treating with Botox.

We have some examples of natural-appearing Botox treamtents on our RealSelf page and more on our website.

First of all, if the lines bother you then I think Botox would be a good alternative. It will help to soften these fine lines and help them from becoming worse. If they don't bother you enough now to do something about it, then hold off for now. In addition start using a good sunscreen that you like to use and other sun-protective measures (like hats and seeking shade). Those things are the best options to prevent other wrinkles from developing in the future.

Amount of Botox necessary to treat an area is somewhat variable, but 39 units for this area seemsrather high. I think most providers would use 20-24 units for both sides total, maybe 28 units rarely. But to start off by suggesting 39 units.... that seems a little out of line. I charge based on the area(s) that I'm treating and not based on the number of units that I use. I think if this doctor is recommending almost twice as much Botox as what you've used before with good results I would consider finding another doctor.
