MedBeautyLA is the premiere spot for Botox® in downtown Los Angeles. Our small team of dedicated expert injectors are all about listening to your aesthetic goals and ensuring that you get customized results. From "baby Botox®," lip flips, traptox, Nefertiti lifts, Botox® brow lifts, masseter Botox®, DAO Botox® for frown lines, to full face rejuvenation, we're here to help.
Botox® is a neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin and is a safe, effective way to address facial lines that occur from making repeated expressions. The treatment requires no downtime and entails very little discomfort, making it one of the top cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation.
Unlike injectable fillers, which restore volume by "filling in" facial lines and creases, Botox® works as a neuromodulator, meaning it relaxes the muscles that form your everyday expressions. Because Botox® relaxes the expression muscles responsible for wrinkles, it not only corrects current lines but also helps prevent future ones from forming—making it a great preventative treatment for aging.

A lip flip uses Botox® or a similar product, like Dysport® and Xeomin®, to create the appearance of a fuller upper lip—without the use of lip filler. Injections relax the orbicularis oris muscle, which causes the upper lip to "flip" outwards, and ultimately makes it look larger. A lip flip requires about 4 injections with a tiny needle, and final results are seen in 7-12 days. The treatment typically lasts 4 to 8 weeks.
DAO Botox® relaxes the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle, which is responsible for the downturn of our mouths when we frown. As we get older, the DAO muscle weakens, resulting in a downturned mouth even when our faces are at rest. With enough time, this can create "marionette lines," or the lines that begin at the corners of our mouths and extend towards the chin. Botox® injected into the DAO muscle inhibits its ability to contract, which ultimately softens frown lines and helps rejuvenate the lower face. DAO injections last 4-6 months and DAO Botox® dosing requires about 4-8 units per side (though some patients may require more depending on muscle strength).
Traptox is an abbreviation for trapezius muscle Botox®, aka Botox® injected into the muscles between our shoulder blades. Relaxing out trapezius, or "traps," slims the neck and upper back, creating a more delicate and refined silhouette. Traptox has the additional benefit of relieving shoulder and neck tension (in fact, this is the main reason many patients seek out treatment). Traptox dosing typically entails 20-30 units per side (or 40 to 60 units total), and results last 4-6 months. As with all other Botox® treatments, traptox can be achieved with any neuromodulator, including Dysport®, Daxxify®, Xeomin®, and others.
Simply put, calf Botox®, or a Botox® calf reduction, slims the calf. It does so by relaxing the gastrocnemius muscle, which is the most superficial muscle in the calf and can create a "bulky" look in some people. Calf Botox® lasts 4-6 months, though many patients see longer-lasting results with repeated treatments. Dosing for calf muscle Botox® is typically 100-180 units per side.
Our expert injectors use ultrafine needles when administering Botox® injections, which helps limit pain and discomfort, and you will see noticeable results in anywhere from 7 to 14 days after treatment. Since the procedure is fast (typically between 15-20 minutes) and requires no downtime, you can expect little to no interruption to your day.
There are few if any Botox® side effects, especially when you choose an experienced injector. You could experience mild bruising, swelling, redness, soreness, and a mild headache. Within 7 days after your Botox® injection, you'll begin to look more youthful and rejuvenated.
Dysport® is another injectable that's excellent for correcting forehead lines and crow's feet. It's known for delivering results slightly more quickly and spreading over a slightly larger area than Botox® in some patients.
Xeomin® is composed of a purer form of the botulinum molecule than Botox®, offering a "lighter" feel that some patients prefer.
Daxxify® is formulated to last up to six months, while other leading brands require re-treatment every three to four months. Daxxify® also entails a shorter "settling" period, meaning you'll see your final results faster.
Letybo (K-tox) is a neuromodulator widely used in South Korea and introduced to the U.S. in 2024. Some clinical studies show it may set in faster and last longer than other similar products.
