Botox is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles; lines that appear due to repeated expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. By softening these muscle contractions, Botox creates smoother skin and a more refreshed appearance without changing your natural expressions.
Your Botox appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns and desired outcome. Dr. Warrington will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy and design a personalized treatment plan.
Using a fine needle, small amounts of Botox are injected into the targeted muscles. Most patients describe the treatment as quick and comfortable, with only minor pinching sensations.
Botox is designed to treat wrinkles and fine lines that appear due to repeated facial movements. It can also improve certain functional concerns.

Discover the many benefits of Botox:
You may be a good candidate for Botox if you are bothered by fine lines or wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement and want a subtle, natural improvement without surgery. Botox is often chosen by patients who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about what treatment can achieve.
It provides a refreshed appearance while preserving your natural expression. However, Botox is not recommended for patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or those with certain neuromuscular conditions. During your consultation, Dr. Warrington will carefully review your medical history to ensure Botox treatment in Glendale is safe and appropriate for you.
There is typically little to no downtime after Botox treatment. You may notice slight redness or swelling at injection sites, which normally resolves within an hour. Dr. Warrington recommends avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and lying flat for several hours after treatment to allow the product to settle properly.
Most patients begin to see results within 3–5 days, with full effects appearing at around 2 weeks. Results typically last 3–4 months, after which maintenance treatments can help you preserve your refreshed appearance. With consistent care, Botox can even help prevent deeper lines from forming over time.
