Botox® Cosmetic Injections - San Francisco

Botox® has been used therapeutically for over 16 years to treat a variety of medical conditions. It is approved in more than 75 countries and remains the most-studied botulinum toxin and one of the most widely researched medicines in the world. Botox® has been FDA approved for cosmetic use since 2002.

It is a purified protein administered by a series of tiny injections directly into muscles that cause frown lines. The Botox® then relaxes the muscles thus reducing the frown lines.

What is a treatment like?
Botox® treatment is a quick and minimally invasive procedure. Dr. Kwan will determine exactly where to administer the injections to achieve the best result.

Localized redness, swelling or bruising may be associated with the injections.

When will I see results?
