What is Botox?

Botox Cosmetic is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles. Relaxing these muscles reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. It is commonly used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and other areas prone to dynamic wrinkles. Botox also has preventive benefits, helping to slow the formation of deeper wrinkles over time.

Candidates for Botox

Botox is ideal for adults looking to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or prevent future signs of aging. Suitable candidates include individuals with moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles and those seeking a non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment. Botox is safe for all skin types and tones. A consultation with Dr. Daraei will help determine if Botox aligns with your aesthetic goals.

Botox Procedure

The Botox procedure is an in-office treatment that typically takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete. A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted facial muscles. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, though a topical numbing cream can be applied if needed. After treatment you can resume your day as normal.

Botox Recovery

Botox requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Some mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the injection sites but typically resolve within a few hours to days. To optimize results, patients should avoid touching the treated areas, lying down for a few hours post-treatment, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

Botox Results

Botox delivers noticeable improvements in fine lines and wrinkles within three to five days, with full effects appearing within two weeks. The results look natural, preserving facial expressions while reducing unwanted lines. Botox results typically last three to four months, and regular treatments help maintain a smooth and youthful appearance over time.

“Dr. Daraei is the best doctor”

If you're interested in rhinoplasty, Dr. Daraei is the best doctor to go to! I came to him with a deviated nose and severe breathing issues.
Now, only a month out of surgery, my breathing is amazing and my nose looks beautiful! I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Daraei and his work!!

“Absolutely no Judgment”

This was my first foray into the world of plastic surgery. While I try to keep myself in shape, the condition around my eyes made me look old and tired. Of course, I was nervous when I met with Dr. Daraei and his staff for the consultation. Everyone was very nice and there was absolutely no judgment projected toward me by any of the staff.
In fact, the entire staff and Dr. Daraei seemed genuinely enthusiastic about helping me feel better about my appearance.

“I love the results”

Dr. Daraei was initially recommended to me by a friend. I was particularly picky about who I wanted to do my rhinoplasty because I have ethnic features and I've also heard of people needing more expensive repeat procedures to fix their first rhinoplasty.
He has made the experience very smooth by being thorough, reassuring, and patient. I am about a year post op and I love the results, can't recommend him enough!

“I never felt rushed”

During the consultation all my questions were answered and Dr.
Daraei suggested the tissue removal from my eyelids. He mentioned the slightly swollen look that I thought was a sinus condition. When he showed me how much of my eyelid was hidden, l was amazed. He then took the time to explain the procedures I might want and answered every question I had. At no time did he make me feel pressured or rushed or that he had somewhere else to go.

“Would do it Again!”

Dr. Paul Daraei performed blepharoplasty on both my eyes. He removed the very pronounced bags from under my eyes and removed tissue from my upper eyelids that made it look like I did not have eyebags, when my eyes were open. Let me say this is the best thing I have done for my appearance and would do it again!
