DOES BOTOX PREVENT YOUR SKIN FROM AGING?
The short answer is no. Botox doesn’t stop the biological aging process, but it can help prevent certain expression lines from becoming more deeply etched into the skin over time.

Here’s how Botox actually affects wrinkles and aging:

HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?
Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell specific muscles to contract. Because those facial muscles sit directly beneath the skin, reducing their movement also reduces the repeated pulling and folding of the skin above them.

DOES BOTOX STOP THE AGING PROCESS?
No. Your skin will continue to age naturally, and factors like sun exposure, collagen loss, and changes in skin quality will still occur. Botox doesn’t stop those processes.

CAN BOTOX PREVENT WRINKLES?
It can help prevent certain dynamic wrinkles from becoming more deeply etched into the skin. These are lines caused by repeated facial movements, such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.

SO WHAT DOES “PREVENTATIVE BOTOX” ACTUALLY MEAN?
Preventative Botox isn’t about preventing aging altogether. It’s about reducing repetitive muscle movement before certain expression lines have the opportunity to become deeper, more permanent wrinkles.

Botox at AestheticsMD in Newport Beach, CA, is customized to your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and aesthetic goals to soften expression lines while maintaining natural-looking results.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make a difference.

Over time, earlobes can lose volume and elasticity, leaving them looking thinner, elongated, or creased.
With a few precise injections of dermal filler, we can restore lost volume, improve the appearance of fine lines, and create a smoother, more youthful-looking earlobe.
A subtle treatment with a surprisingly noticeable difference.

WHAT IS A MOMMY MAKEOVER LIKE AFTER MAJOR WEIGHT LOSS?
After significant weight loss, loose skin and changes to the breasts and abdomen can sometimes make it difficult to see the transformation you’ve worked so hard for. For Christy, a mommy makeover was the next step in making how she felt in her body match the work she had already put into it.

Hear from a real patient about her experience with Dr. Mark Anton:

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO HAVE A MOMMY MAKEOVER?
“After I lost quite a bit of weight, I had a lot of apron belly skin. People would tell me how great I looked, but they didn’t realize what was underneath my clothes. I wanted all the effort I put into losing the weight to match how I was feeling on the outside.”

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE DR. ANTON?
“He was my third consultation, and it was the last one. As soon as I sat down with him, it was an immediate yes. He really understood what I was looking for after losing a lot of weight, and I appreciated how he talked about every person being different.”

WHAT WAS MOMMY MAKEOVER RECOVERY REALLY LIKE?
“My recovery was amazing. I only needed pain medication for a couple of days. For anyone who wants to do it but is afraid of the pain and suffering, I tell them it’s not nearly as bad as people think.”

WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE AESTHETICSMD TEAM?
“It’s really become like a little family. Everyone in the office was absolutely amazing. At this point, these girls are all my friends. I’ll literally be around the corner and pop in just to say hi.”

HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED SINCE SURGERY?
“I had never worn a two-piece swimsuit in my life until I had my surgery. Being able to put on a swimsuit and feel confident was huge. Having the extra skin gone and being able to see all the hard work I’ve done just makes me feel better about myself.”

**HOW MANY UNITS OF BOTOX DO I NEED?**
There isn’t one standard number of Botox units that’s right for everyone. The amount you need depends on your facial anatomy, muscle strength, movement, and the areas you want to treat.

Here’s why your Botox consultation matters:

**WHY DOES THE NUMBER OF BOTOX UNITS VARY FROM PERSON TO PERSON?**
Two patients can want to treat the exact same area and need very different amounts of Botox. One person may require twice as many units as another based on the strength and movement of their facial muscles.

**HOW DO YOU DETERMINE HOW MUCH BOTOX I NEED?**
The assessment starts before you even sit in the treatment chair. Your provider watches how your face moves naturally while you’re talking, smiling, raising your eyebrows, and expressing yourself.

**WHY IS FACIAL MOVEMENT IMPORTANT FOR BOTOX?**
Botox works by temporarily reducing targeted muscle activity, so understanding how your muscles move is essential. Rather than treating one line in isolation, your provider evaluates the movement creating that line in the first place.

**IS THERE A “RIGHT” NUMBER OF BOTOX UNITS?**
The right number is the amount appropriate for *your* face. Botox dosing should be customized based on your anatomy, muscle movement, treatment areas, and desired result rather than using the same number of units for every patient.

Botox treatments at AestheticsMD in Newport Beach, CA, are personalized to your unique facial anatomy and movement to soften unwanted lines while maintaining natural expression.

A subtle change 👃with a meaningful impact on the profile.

This 25-year-old patient was happy with her appearance from the front but wanted to soften the visible dorsal hump from the side. Dr. Anton performed a closed rhinoplasty with nasal dorsum reduction to create a smoother profile, along with turbinate reduction to help improve breathing.

Consistency is where the real change happens.

That’s the beauty of the Beauty Bank—monthly treatments give you a plan for the year, so we can build on your results over time instead of treating your skin one appointment at a time.

Featured here: CellSound, a non-invasive treatment that uses therapeutic ultrasound to support circulation, lymphatic flow, and overall skin and tissue health.

One session can feel good. A consistent plan is what moves the needle. ✨

**WHAT SHOULD YOU DO AFTER MICRONEEDLING?**
What you do after a microneedling treatment matters. Your skin needs time to rest and recover, so following the right aftercare can help support the healing process and your overall results.

Here’s what we recommend after microneedling at AestheticsMD:

**CAN I WASH MY FACE AFTER MICRONEEDLING?**
We recommend waiting at least **24 hours before washing your face** after treatment. This gives your skin time to rest and reset immediately following the procedure.

**WHAT SHOULD I AVOID AFTER MICRONEEDLING?**
Stay out of direct sun exposure and avoid saunas and strenuous exercise. Heat, sweating, and additional inflammation can irritate freshly treated skin during the initial recovery period.

**WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS FROM MICRONEEDLING?**
Some patients notice improvements after their first treatment, but more noticeable results typically develop after the second or third session as collagen remodeling continues.

**HOW MANY MICRONEEDLING TREATMENTS DO I NEED?**
For maximum benefit, we typically recommend a series of at least **three treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart**. Your exact treatment plan will depend on your skin and the concerns you’re addressing.

**HOW OFTEN CAN YOU GET MICRONEEDLING?**
Microneedling can be performed approximately every 4 to 6 weeks when appropriate. Patients addressing concerns like significant acne scarring may benefit from more consistent treatments, while many patients choose a series of three treatments twice a year for ongoing skin maintenance.

Microneedling at AestheticsMD in Newport Beach, CA, is customized to your skin concerns and goals to help improve collagen production, skin texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scars.

WHAT DO YOU DO IF BOTOX STOPS WORKING?
If you feel like your Botox isn’t working as well as it used to, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve become resistant to it. There are several reasons your results may feel different, from dosing and injection placement to how your individual body responds to the product.

Here’s what to consider before assuming Botox has stopped working:

CAN BOTOX ACTUALLY STOP WORKING?
True resistance to Botox is considered uncommon. Before assuming the product no longer works for you, your provider should evaluate your treatment history, including the dose used, where it was placed, and how long your results lasted.

IS BOTOX THE SAME AS A NEUROMODULATOR?
Botox is actually a brand name, although it’s often used as a general term for injectable neuromodulators. Neuromodulators work by temporarily reducing the nerve signals that cause targeted facial muscles to contract.

WHAT CAN I TRY IF I’M NOT HAPPY WITH MY BOTOX RESULTS?
If you’ve been receiving Botox consistently and are no longer satisfied with your results, there are other neuromodulators available. Switching products may be an option depending on your treatment history and individual response.

WHAT IS DAXXIFY AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM BOTOX?
DAXXIFY® is another injectable neuromodulator with a different formulation that includes a peptide-based stabilizer. For some patients, its effects may last longer than what they personally experience with Botox, although duration varies from person to person.

SHOULD I SWITCH FROM BOTOX TO DAXXIFY?
Not necessarily. The first step is determining *why* you’re unhappy with your current results. A consultation can help determine whether adjusting your Botox dose or placement—or trying another neuromodulator like DAXXIFY—is the better option.

Botox and DAXXIFY treatments at AestheticsMD in Newport Beach, CA, are customized based on facial anatomy, muscle movement, previous treatment response, and aesthetic goals.
