Botox in San Diego, CA
Botox is one of the most widely trusted treatments in aesthetic medicine—for good reason. It’s a quick, effective way to soften dynamic lines (the ones that move with expression), ease tension in the face, and restore a more relaxed, refreshed appearance.
At Sthetics Med Spa, we approach Botox with a light hand and an expert eye. Whether you’re looking to prevent future lines or soften those already present, we tailor every treatment to your natural movement and facial structure, so you still look like you, just well-rested and subtly smoothed.
Botox is an injectable neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A. It works by gently relaxing the muscle activity that causes dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines between the brows (11s), and crow’s feet around the eyes.
By temporarily interrupting the signal between nerve and muscle, Botox allows lines to soften while preventing them from deepening over time. It’s been used safely for decades and is one of the most studied—and requested—treatments in aesthetic care.
A Botox appointment at Sthetics is quick, comfortable, and fully personalized. After a brief consultation to assess your muscle movement and goals, your provider will strategically place small injections into specific muscles using a fine needle.
Most treatments take 10–20 minutes, with little to no discomfort—just a few tiny pinches. No anesthesia is needed; most clients return to their day immediately after treatment. We’ll walk you through everything to ensure you feel confident and cared for.

Botox offers subtle, natural-looking facial rejuvenation with zero downtime. The benefits include:
Because results are temporary, Botox is a flexible treatment—you can adjust your dose or treatment areas over time. Botox is also a favorite for first-time aesthetic clients looking for low-commitment, high-impact results.
Botox is safe for most healthy adults looking to soften fine lines or reduce facial tension. It’s ideal for clients in their late 20s to 60s, whether you’re interested in preventative care or targeted correction.
During your consultation, we’ll review your health history and discuss any prior treatments to ensure Botox is the right fit. Clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions may not be eligible.
There’s no downtime with Botox. You may experience light redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but this usually fades within a few hours. We recommend avoiding exercise, heat, lying flat, or touching the area for 4–6 hours post-treatment.
Your provider will give you detailed aftercare tips and a timeline for when to expect results.
You’ll notice smoother skin and softened lines within 3–5 days, with full results visible by day 7–10. The treated area will appear more relaxed, but still expressive—never frozen.
