Frequently Asked Questions in California
What is the alternative to BOTOX?
Popular BOTOX alternatives include XEOMIN, Dysport, DAXXIFY, and Jeuveau, which contain variations of the same active ingredient. Depending on your skin needs, you may want to consider dermal fillers to plump the skin and even out fine lines and folds.
In addition, treatments such as microneedling, Morpheus8™, Thermage FLX skin tightening, and Ultherapy® skin tightening, can improve the appearance of wrinkles, skin laxity, and other texture concerns.
During your consultation, we can discuss the best plan for your needs, including combining treatments for optimal results.
Are fillers better than BOTOX?
Fillers are best for adding volume, contouring the face, and smoothing static wrinkles and folds. In contrast, BOTOXX is ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, like crow's feet and forehead lines.
When performed by an experienced injector on a carefully screened patient, it is safe to combine BOTOX and filler treatments, and many patients do so! This dual approach is called a liquid facelift.
How long does BOTOX really last?
BOTOX results typically lasts 3 to 4 months. You can make your BOTOX last longer by booking a touch-up treatment before your results wear off, protecting your skin from the sun, and using skin-supportive products.
Who is not a good candidate for BOTOX?
You shouldn't get BOTOX if you are pregnant or nursing, have an active skin infection, are suffering from a neuromuscular disorder, or have unrealistic expectations about the type of results that are possible.
What is the best age to start getting BOTOX?
There is no specific "best" age for starting BOTOX injections. Many people have their first treatment in their 40s when they notice lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, or around the eyes. Young adults in their late 20s and early 30s often have treatments as a preventive measure to hold off wrinkle development.
Does BOTOX prevent new wrinkles from forming?
Yes, BOTOX can help prevent new wrinkles from forming. Younger patients often use it proactively to delay the onset of expression lines, and it can also keep existing wrinkles from deepening.
Wondering what happens if you stop BOTOX? Your skin will "reset" to its pre-treatment state and continue to age as normal.
What should you avoid before or after a BOTOX appointment?
To minimize bruising and help your BOTOX last longer, avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil), alcohol, and harsh skincare products for 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. It's also best to skip sensitizing treatments, such as chemical peels, microneedling, or laser treatments just before your injections.
After your BOTOX treatment, avoid rubbing or massaging the area, lying down for at least 4 hours (the BOTOX 4-hour rule), and engaging in intense workouts for 24 hours. Steer clear of saunas, hot tubs, and excessive heat for a day or two. These steps help ensure the product stays in the right place and delivers the best possible results.

"I'd give 10 stars if I could! Francine my injector had a subtle hand which translated into wonderful results in my lip filler and Botox. What a star she is. Everyone there was outstanding! From me asking questions prior to booking, scheduling the appointment, helping me find the location (it's not hard to find but I got turned around), form completion & check out, incredibly helpful. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you I had THE best experience here! While filling out my forms they brought cold water & tasty snacks. While waiting for my numbing cream to kick-in I was taken to a quiet room, sat in a massage chair and given a soft blanket, immediately taking a nap! Nolia, Yuki and Sammi were all amazing! Never in my 10+ years of visiting aesthetic offices & med spas have I had such an experience."

"I recently visited Starlit Aesthetics in Pasadena for a Botox treatment, and the experience was flawless. What impressed me most was the practitioner’s precision and technique. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, every injection point was mapped out with expert skill to suit her unique facial anatomy. The entire process was seamless, gentle, and remarkably comfortable. Fast forward a few days: my fine lines have softened smoothly while retaining complete natural movement. No frozen look—just a refreshed, well-rested, and radiant appearance. For anyone in the LA area seeking subtle, high-precision aesthetic care, this is the place to go. "
