| In California, Dr. ALEX BAKER performs Botox procedures for both clinical and cosmetic reasons. The most common cosmetic Botox injections are to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, on the forehead, and around the eyes. Patients receiving Botox injections in DAVIS typically see the beneficial effects last 3-4 months. Therefore, most of Doctor ALEX BAKER patients have repeat Botox injections three to four times a year to maintain the desired effects of the Botox treatment. |
| Recovery from Botox is essentially immediate. Some temporary bruising at the injection sight is the most common side effect and headaches, although rare, can occur. A very small percentage of patients may develop eyelid drooping. If eyelid drooping develops, it usually resolves within three weeks. In some cases a prescription eye drop can be used to help resolved this side effect. If you have any concerns or questions about possible side effects, we encourage you to contact Doctor BAKER for more information. |
| Botox prices fluctuate depending on the physician and region of the country. The cost of Botox in California ranges from $12 - $15 per unit, depending on the application. Typically, treatment of the frown lines requires 12-20 units, the horizontal forehead lines require about 15-25 units, and both crow’s feet can be treated with 10-15 units. Because this is patient specific, patients having a Botox treatment with Dr. ALEX BAKER can expect to pay about $275 for 20 units, or "one site" of Botox. |

| Many patients looking for Botox in California are in their 40's and 50's. However, Dr. ALEX BAKER does treat both younger and more mature patients with Botox. According to Allergan (the manufacturer of Botox), patients who should not receive Botox treatments are women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, patients with egg allergies, and those with neuromuscular disorders. |
| Botox can have a dramatic and almost immediate effect on the patients’ appearance. The temporary paralyzation of muscles causes moderate wrinkles and lines to nearly disappear. |

| Due to fluctuations in the pricing of Botox, and because some patients require more Botox than others to achieve the desired result, Dr. BAKER may make adjustments in the price of Botox from time to time or from patient to patient. |
| With the use of Botox Cosmetic for the reduction of lines and wrinkles, do not expect your insurance to help pay for the treatment. However, when Botox is used for reasons that are considered medically necessary, insurance coverage may be provided. Conditions that may be considered "medically necessary" include: treatment of blepharospasm (muscle spasm of the eyelids), cervical dystonia (abnormal head position and neck pain), hyperhidrosis (severe sweating of the underarms, hands, and feet), and to balance the facial expressions of patients who have suffered with Bell’s palsy. It is possible to use Flex spending dollars for most medical treatments, including Botox injections. Because individual insurance plans have different restrictions and regulations, you will need to check with your insurance provider for coverage details. |
| Botox can have a dramatic and almost immediate effect on the patients’ appearance. The temporary paralyzation of muscles causes moderate wrinkles and lines to nearly disappear. |
| Some wrinkles can not be completely erased or improved with Botox alone. Wrinkles caused by sun damage and gravity do not usually respond to Botox. These may require other cosmetic procedures, such as laser treatments and chemical peels, to address which Dr. BAKER can perform at California if desired. |
| Because patient comfort is a priority, Dr. BAKER uses a tiny needle to direct Botox into specific muscles. This causes only minor discomfort, requires no anesthesia and only takes a few minutes to complete. Because it takes a few days for the Botox to become "activated", patients generally observe the full effects after about a week. To reduce bruising at the injection sites, aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, should be stopped about two weeks prior to your treatment. |
