Smooth lines, soften expression, and refresh your look with trusted Botox injections in Sherman Oaks.
Do fine lines make you feel older than your age? Botox offers a fast, non-surgical way to reduce wrinkles, ease facial tension, and help you look more rejuvenated, with minimal downtime. At Lauréate Aesthetics, we specialize in custom Botox treatments that give you a natural, youthful look.
As a trusted provider of neuromodulators in Los Angeles, our team is known for precision, safety, and consistent results. Whether new to Botox or looking for a skilled local injector, you’ll find professional care in Sherman Oaks.
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is a well-known neuromodulator made from a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A. It works by gently relaxing the facial muscles that cause expression lines—like those that appear when you squint, frown, or raise your eyebrows—so the skin above them can smooth out naturally.
The FDA-approved Botox Cosmetic formula has been safely used for decades for aesthetic reasons and to help with medical concerns like muscle tension, intense headaches, and excessive sweating.
Unlike dermal fillers, Botox doesn’t add volume. Instead, it softens movement in specific areas, giving you a more rested and balanced appearance, without changing how you express yourself.
What Botox Can Treat
Botox Cosmetic is best known for reducing the appearance of facial lines, but it’s also used to treat issues like jaw tension and even chronic headaches—many people find real relief with Botox for migraines. At Lauréate Aesthetics, every treatment is personalized to your unique muscle movement, facial symmetry, and goals so you still look like you, just more refreshed.
Some of the most common areas we treat include:
- Forehead lines
- Glabellar lines (frown lines or “11s”)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Chin dimpling or “pebble chin”
- Jawline slimming or TMJ relief
- Neck botox for vertical bands
- Under-eye creases (botox under the eyes)
During your consultation, we’ll help you decide which areas are best suited for Botox and determine the appropriate number of units. Softening forehead lines, for example, typically requires up to 40 units. The Botox cost will depend on how many areas you’re treating and the number of units used. With pricing at $15 per unit in our Los Angeles clinic, we’ll walk you through the cost of Botox and your options based on your unique aesthetic goals.
Botox Before and After
What To Expect During Your Botox Appointment
Are you thinking about Botox but not sure what the appointment involves? Here’s how we make the process quick, comfortable, and personalized—from the first consultation to the final result.
Consultation
Your visit begins with a one-on-one consultation, during which we take time to understand your features and goals. Whether you’re new to Botox or looking to refine your results, we take a personalized, low-pressure approach. We always aim for natural, expressive outcomes, never the frozen “Botox face” look.
Treatment
The treatment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. Your provider will carefully inject Botox into the targeted muscles using an ultra-fine needle. Each vial contains 50 and 100 units, and the same needle treats multiple areas based on your personalized plan.
Most people describe the sensation as a quick pinch, but we’re happy to apply a numbing cream for extra comfort.
Aftercare
Botox treatments are quick and convenient, with most patients returning to work or daily activities immediately. Mild redness, swelling, or light bruising at the injection sites can happen, but these side effects typically fade within a day or two.
Before you leave, we’ll go over all your Botox aftercare instructions in detail, but here are a few tips on what to do and what not to do after Botox treatment:
- Stay upright for at least four hours after treatment.
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas.
- Skip the gym, alcohol, and any strenuous activity for the rest of the day.
- Hold off on facials, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours.
Is Botox Right for You?
Botox is an excellent choice for anyone looking to refresh their appearance without surgery or downtime. It’s not just for correction—many people start in their late 20s or early 30s to help prevent deeper lines from forming over time.
You may be a good candidate for Botox if:
- You’ve started noticing dynamic lines like forehead creases, frown lines, or crow’s feet
- You want to treat the early signs of aging before they become more pronounced
- You’re looking for a quick, low-maintenance treatment with little to no recovery
- You experience jaw tension, facial imbalance, or migraines, and want relief
- You want visible results without committing to surgery

Botox FAQs
How long does Botox last?
Most Botox treatments last 4 to 6 months, though this can vary based on your metabolism, muscle strength, and the area treated. For example, jaw Botox may fade more gradually than forehead Botox due to muscle size. Staying consistent with treatments can help maintain longer-lasting results and prevent deeper lines from forming.
How many units of Botox for the forehead?
Forehead Botox typically requires 15 to 40 units, depending on how strong your muscles are and how deep the lines have become. We always customize your dosage to keep results natural and avoid the frozen look that can happen with over-injection—one of the most common signs of “bad Botox.”
What is Botox made of?
Botox is made from botulinum toxin type A, a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes muscle activity. It’s FDA-approved for cosmetic and therapeutic use and is injected in small, safe amounts by trained professionals. Whether you’re getting chin Botox or under-eye smoothing, knowing what’s in the product—and who’s administering it—matters.
How does Botox work?
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that tell facial muscles to contract. When the muscles stop overfiring, the skin above them softens. Botox injections are effective on dynamic wrinkles—the ones caused by repeated movement—and can also be used to balance the lower face and jawline.
How long does Botox take to work?
You may notice a difference within 3 to 4 days after your Botox treatment, with full results usually visible by day 10 to 14. Whether it’s jaw Botox for facial slimming or subtle forehead smoothing, the transformation is gradual.
Does Botox hurt?
Most people describe Botox injections as a mild pinching sensation. Areas like the chin or under eyes may be more sensitive, but we offer numbing options to keep you comfortable. Mild side effects of Botox, like redness or slight swelling, usually fade quickly and are part of the normal healing process.
