A Personalized Approach
How do neurotoxins work?
We understand that no two faces are alike. That's why we tailor each Botox treatment to your facial structure, muscle dynamics, and aesthetic goals.
Neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport target one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling, and raising the eyebrows over the years. This results in a smoother, more youthful appearance without freezing your entire face. With over 25 years of clinical experience worldwide, Botox and Dysport have a proven safety and efficacy track record.
Your aesthetic specialist will inject these muscles with NEUROTOXINS to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice your frown lines between your brows, your crow’s feet lines, and your forehead lines temporarily look better. At SKINN Aesthete, Diana Akopyan, MSN, FNP, tailor each session to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. We believe in enhancing your natural beauty, not changing who you are.
Commitment to Safety
Types of Botox Procedures
As a certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Diana prioritizes your health and safety. You can trust that you're in capable, caring hands throughout your Botox or Dysport journey.
Types of Botox Procedures:
Forehead Lines: Botox can be strategically injected to smooth horizontal lines across the forehead, resulting from repetitive facial expressions.
Crow's Feet: The fine lines that form around the eyes, known as crow's feet, can be softened with precise Botox injections.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): Botox is effective in minimizing the vertical lines between the eyebrows that often create an unintentional stern or angry look.
Steps to Follow Before the Procedure:
Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified and experienced practitioner to discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations.
Medical Assessment: Ensure that the practitioner conducts a thorough medical assessment to determine your eligibility for Botox, addressing any concerns or contraindications.
Discuss Expectations: Clearly communicate your desired outcomes and ensure realistic expectations are set regarding the results and longevity of the treatment.

Discover the key benefits that make Botox Burbank patients' go-to solution for those seeking exceptional results in skin tightening, contouring, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Wrinkle Reduction: Botox is renowned for its effectiveness in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, particularly in areas prone to dynamic movements like the forehead, crow's feet, and frown lines.
Preventive Measure: It's not just about addressing existing wrinkles; Botox can also be used preventively to hinder the formation of new lines by limiting muscle movement.
Non-Surgical Approach: Botox offers a non-surgical alternative to facial rejuvenation, making it a popular choice for those seeking subtle enhancements without undergoing invasive procedures.

The Prep
- Kindly agree to discontinue any irritant-type topical products or treatments involving:
- Skincare Products: Refrain from using irritant-type topical products, including Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula), scrubs, or any skincare items perceived as 'active.'
- Professional Treatments: Avoid recent microdermabrasion and laser treatments, allowing your skin to be at its most receptive state.
- Sun Exposure: Steer clear of prolonged sun exposure to the area designated for treatment, safeguarding your skin's readiness.
- Sunburned Skin: A treatment will not be administered on sunburned skin, prioritizing your skin's health and comfort.
What Can Be Expected
Immediately after your treatment with Botox Burbank patients will feel as their skin embarks on a journey of renewal, akin to a moderate sunburn:
- Immediate Effects: While full results may take a few days to manifest, some patients notice an immediate improvement in the treated areas.
- No Downtime: Botox is a lunchtime procedure for many, requiring minimal downtime. Most individuals resume regular activities right after treatment.
Gradual Results: The full effects of Botox typically become apparent within 7 to 14 days post-treatment, as the neurotoxin takes its full effect on muscle activity.

Avoid Touching Treated Areas: Refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas immediately after the procedure to prevent the spread of Botox to unintended muscles.
Stay Upright: For the first few hours after treatment, maintain an upright position and avoid lying down to minimize the risk of Botox migration.
Follow-Up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to assess the results and address any concerns or additional treatment needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's not your age that determines when NEUROTOXINS is right for you, it's the severity of your lines. In fact, 64% of plastic surgeons report seeing a rise in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments for patients in their early 30s.
The truth is everyone's lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors, from cellular changes that may occur over time, to reduction of collagen, to genetic factors, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.
We will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. If the HCP deems you to be an appropriate candidate, the injection may take place on that same day. Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave our office.
