BOTOX is a popular choice at our Chico, Yuba City, and Oroville, California, med spas for minimizing pesky fine lines such as crow’s feet and worry lines that can add years to your appearance. It has earned its status as the world’s most-performed cosmetic treatment by producing consistently excellent anti-aging results when injected by highly skilled providers. Rejuvené is your local source for the best BOTOX experience, starting with answers to your questions about cost, recovery, treatment areas, and more.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.

BOTOX and similar products, such as Dysport®, work by relaxing specific muscles responsible for lines or wrinkles. These “expression lines” or dynamic wrinkles associated with repeated facial movements such as squinting, smiling, frowning, or elevating the brows, develop gradually throughout our lives.
BOTOX treats an array of lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions (dynamic wrinkles), which first appear in our late 20s or early 30s. These include:
Other cosmetic uses for BOTOX include jawline slimming, reducing the appearance of “bunny lines” on the bridge of the nose, and minimizing a dimpled appearance on the chin.
Patients bothered by an angular, boxy jawline due to overdeveloped masseter muscles can slim their jawline with BOTOX injections in the muscles of the outer lower cheek. Results usually become noticeable within 2 weeks, with improvement for 4 to 6 weeks that lasts about 4 to 6 months.
While submental fullness (a double chin) from fat does not respond to BOTOX, we can treat it with KYBELLA®, which dissolves fat with a series of injections, and fat freezing with CoolSculpting® using the CoolMini™ applicator.
The needles we use for BOTOX injections are extremely thin and cause a brief twinge during the treatment. Patients may ask to have a topical numbing cream applied about 30 minutes before their procedure if they have a low tolerance for discomfort.
Patients rarely need any downtime following their BOTOX appointments and can return to work or other regular activities immediately after leaving Rejuvené.
We do advise patients to avoid:
Bruising is always possible after injections, but patients can reduce the risk of bruising by avoiding blood-thinning products during the week before their appointments. These include alcohol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), like aspirin and ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E supplements.
The results of BOTOX injections typically take at least 5 to 7 days to appear, so be sure to schedule in advance of any special events. The timeline varies for each patient and differs based on the treatment areas and the amount of BOTOX used to produce the desired outcomes. Dr. Hodari schedules follow-up treatments with BOTOX patients 2 weeks after their injections to ensure they’re highly satisfied with their results.
It typically takes about 3 to 4 months for the effects of BOTOX to wear off. Scheduling periodic treatment sessions can help maintain the results over an extended period of time. Studies show that regularly scheduled treatments tend to gradually lengthen the duration of results.
A BOTOX “lip flip” is a lip enhancement treatment performed with BOTOX instead of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers add volume to the lips, instantly making them fuller and more defined (if desired). The lip flip involves injecting microdoses of BOTOX to relax the muscles controlling the upper lip. Within a few days, the upper lip rolls upward (flips) just enough to create a more youthful, fuller look.
We often recommend combining BOTOX with injections of dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® products to address different types of wrinkles. While BOTOX effectively treats dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, fillers replenish volume that’s lost as part of the natural aging process. The areas where we use fillers include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, and under the eyes. Often called a liquid facelift, the overall results produced by combining BOTOX and filler injections can be quite remarkable.

For more extensive facial rejuvenation, patients often have one or more of the following services when they come in for BOTOX:
During your consultation, your provider will create a personalized treatment plan to help you attain your cosmetic goals.
The cost of BOTOX treatments depends on the injection site or sites and the amount of BOTOX needed. Even though cost is an important consideration for virtually all patients, Dr. Hodari advises patients not to shop for the cheapest provider. An injector without adequate training or experience can often lead to disappointing results or unwanted side effects.
By interfering with oil gland functioning, BOTOX helps decrease the production of sebum, minimizing breakouts. It is not used to clear up existing acne pimples or cysts.
It may help to have treatments consistently, keeping the treated muscles from becoming fully functional between treatments. For optimal results, follow your post-care instructions carefully.
Using BOTOX in your mid- to late 20s before fine lines appear—a technique often called “preventative BOTOX”—is an effective way to postpone, if not prevent, the development of wrinkles. By limiting muscle movements that crease the skin, fine lines take longer to appear.
We do not perform aesthetic injectables on patients during pregnancy because not enough research has been conducted on their safety.
Without regular BOTOX injections, wrinkles will gradually return or begin developing if you were using BOTOX proactively.
