BOTOX® – Patient Information
Relaxation of Facial Lines and Wrinkles
BOTOX® (Botulinum A Exotoxin), when used appropriately, is one of the safest and most effective treatments for relaxation of facial lines and wrinkles. When injected into certain facial muscles it relaxes these muscles, thus smoothing out the wrinkles. This relaxation typically lasts 3-6 months.
Dr. Klein is a National BOTOX® Trainer for Allergan, a Diamond Level injector for BOTOX® & JUVEDERM™ , the #1 in BOTOX® treatements among all M.D. dermatologists and plastic surgeons in San Diego & South Orange County, and is one of the top 12 BOTOX® injectors in America. Dr. Klein believes in customizing each patient’s treatment. Your BOTOX® treatment will be individually designed with your needs in mind.

There is a relatively low incidence of side effects, all of which are temporary. These include:
- Lid Ptosis (drooping of the eyelid.) The incidence of this, although 3-10% in studies, has been less than 1 per 10,000 treatments in our office. If it occurs, it typically resolves in 2-4 weeks.
- Brow Ptosis (lowering of the eyebrow.) This can occasionally occur after forehead treatments in patients who normally have low-set brows and unknowingly use their forehead muscles to hold up their brows. If this has ever occurred, let us know and we can customize your treatment so that it can be avoided in the future.
- Bruising can occasionally occur at an injection site.
- A headache can sometimes occur due to the injection itself, not the BOTOX®. It may last for 2-3 hours, rarely for several days. Tylenol or Advil can be taken after your treatment if this occurs.

BOTOX® Post-treatment Instructions
- Avoid rubbing the area for 4 hours after your treatment.
- Try to contract (move) the treated muscles as much as possible for 90 minutes after your treatment. This will increase the absorption of BOTOX® into your muscles.
- BOTOX® results appear between 2-14 days after treatment. Until we know your “perfect” dose, more BOTOX® may be needed several weeks after treatment for optimal results. Wait 2 weeks before returning for a touch-up.
