How much does Botox cost at BHRC West Hollywood?+
Botox at BHRC West Hollywood starts at $16 per unit, with single-area treatments from $275. Most patients use 20–40 units for a full upper face treatment, depending on muscle strength and desired results. We never oversell units — your injector will recommend only what's needed for natural-looking results.
What's the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin at BHRC West Hollywood?+
All three are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neurotoxins that temporarily relax facial muscles. Botox is the most well-known. Dysport tends to spread slightly more — useful for larger areas like the forehead. Xeomin is a 'naked' neurotoxin with no accessory proteins, which may be preferred by patients who've developed resistance to Botox. Your BHRC West Hollywood injector will recommend the best option for your anatomy and goals.
How long does Botox last?+
Botox and Xeomin typically last 3–4 months. Dysport may last slightly shorter. With consistent treatments, many BHRC West Hollywood patients find results extend to 4–5 months as the targeted muscles gradually weaken over time. First-time patients sometimes metabolize the toxin faster.
Does Botox hurt?+
Botox injections use very fine needles and cause minimal discomfort — most patients describe a brief pinch. BHRC West Hollywood injectors work quickly and use precise placement to minimize any sensation. Ice is applied before treatment to maximize comfort. Most patients are in and out in under 20 minutes.
When will I see results from Botox at BHRC West Hollywood?+
Initial results appear within 3–5 days as the toxin begins to take effect. Full results are visible at 10–14 days. We recommend a 2-week follow-up check at BHRC West Hollywood for first-time patients to assess placement and add any touch-ups if needed.
Is BHRC West Hollywood physician-supervised for Botox?+
Yes. All neurotoxin treatments at BHRC West Hollywood are physician-supervised. Our injectors are licensed nurse practitioners or physician assistants operating under direct physician oversight. This means your treatment plan is reviewed by an MD before any product is administered — a level of oversight many med spas don't offer.
What areas can Botox treat at BHRC West Hollywood?+
BHRC West Hollywood offers Botox for forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar/11s), crow's feet, bunny lines (nose scrunch), lip flip, brow lift, gummy smile, chin dimpling, neck bands (platysmal bands), jaw slimming (masseter), and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). During your consultation, your injector will assess your anatomy and recommend the most effective placement strategy.
What should I avoid before and after Botox at BHRC West Hollywood?+
Before treatment, avoid blood thinners like ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, and alcohol for 24–48 hours to reduce bruising risk. After Botox, avoid lying flat for 4 hours, intense exercise for 24 hours, and facial massage in the treated area for 48 hours. These precautions help ensure the toxin stays where your injector placed it.
