Botox Cosmetic and Wrinkle Relaxers
Achieve a Flawless Appearance By Minimizing Dynamic Wrinkles
Repeated facial movements such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows cause your skin to crease and fold. Over time, this can lead to facial lines, forehead wrinkles, and other marks that give you an older appearance.
At Kintsu MedSpa and Wellness, we offer botulinum toxin injections such as Botox and Dysport in Berkeley, CA. Here’s how we can help you temporarily banish fine lines and wrinkles with current, science-backed solutions you can trust.
Botox Is Effective in These Areas
Forehead Wrinkles
Reduce the appearance of horizontal forehead wrinkles that age your appearance
Gummy Smiles
An alternative treatment to improve natural smiles that show off too much gum.
Crow’s Feet

Frown Lines

Our Treatment Options Benefits
At Kintsu Medspa & Wellness, we provide the gold standard of quality and service for those searching for Botox in Berkeley, CA. Through our botulinum toxin injections, clients can achieve a flawless appearance and enjoy the following benefits:
Younger Appearance: Through our injections, we can minimize the appearance of your dynamic wrinkles and prevent them from deepening and becoming more noticeable. Deeper creases and folds can give you an older appearance, and our injections give your skin time to smoothen out.
Natural Facial Expressions: Too little Botox makes injection treatments ineffective, but too much can give you frozen or unnatural facial movements. With a skilled and experienced Botox provider, you can still enjoy natural facial movement.
Improve Your Self-Image: While all dynamic wrinkles age your appearance, frown lines can make you seem unapproachable. With Botox injections, you can improve your self-image with treatments that minimize the appearance of these lines.
Combine with Other Treatments: Dynamic wrinkles aren’t the only signs of facial aging that can develop. Book your consultation to discuss other treatments to address static wrinkles, sagging skin, and other issues that age your appearance.
Minimally Invasive with Little to No Downtime: Before resorting to cosmetic surgery and dealing with its risks and extensive downtime, consider Botox injections that are faster and minimally invasive. The entire procedure takes less than an hour and doesn’t require you to take time off to recover.
Quick Results: Many anti-aging skincare products take months before you see barely-there results. On the other hand, Botox injections show signs of improvement as early as three to four days after your injections.
Preventative Botox Injections: Botox injections aren’t just for those with prominent facial wrinkles. Schedule your consultation to discuss preventative injections that slow down the earliest signs of wrinkle formation.
Botox Cosmetic
Since FDA approval for therapeutic use in 2002, BOTOX® Cosmetic has enjoyed 20 years as the number-one-selling product of its kind on the market.
Many ask for Botox by name. That’s because Botox is the first and only treatment that is FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in adults.
Botox works beneath the surface of your skin and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes fine lines and wrinkles with minimal downtime. You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours. So you can look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines.
Dysport
Approved for use in 69 countries, Dysport is backed by 25 years of worldwide clinical experience.
If you’re an adult under 65 who wants a natural look, Dysport is a natural-looking, fast-acting, long-lasting, prescription injection proven to help smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face. Dysport works by reducing specific muscle activity between the eyebrows to help improve the look of your frown lines for up to five months – with minimal downtime.
With just one 10- to 20-minute treatment, the majority of people see improvement in just two to three days. Ask us if Dysport is right for you.
The Botox Procedure
Before you begin your treatment, schedule your initial consultation to discuss custom treatment plans for your unique facial goals.
Botox injections are a quick process that require minimal downtime and recovery. The entire process takes less than an hour and doesn’t require anesthesia for aesthetic treatments. Here’s what you can expect when getting a Botox injection:
We’ll start by cleaning your face, especially the injection sites, to prevent infection. We then apply a topical numbing cream to minimize the discomfort during your injection.
Botox or Dysport will be injected into strategic locations around your face to freeze specific facial muscles. How much is injected can depend on factors like the size of the targeted facial muscle and how often you’ve had Botox treatments in the past.
You’re done! You should avoid lying, putting pressure on your treated areas, and heavy physical exertion for several hours, but other than that, you can resume your day-to-day activities.
It can take several days to see the effects of your Botox treatments. During this time, you may experience side effects like redness and bruising, common with injection procedures. The effects of your Botox procedure last up to four months, so we can schedule your next appointment to maintain your results.

Botox Frequently Asked Questions
-
Aside from dynamic wrinkles, Botox is also used to treat the following conditions:
Muscle Spasms
ye Twitching and Misaligned Eyes
Excessive SwEeating
Overactive Bladder
Chronic Migraines
If you’d like to explore Botox injections for any of these conditions, consult with your doctor first.
-
No downtime or recovery period is necessary after getting Botox. While there are some activities such as lying down, pressing your treated areas, drinking alcohol, and strenuous activities that you should avoid immediately after your treatment, you can resume your day-to-day activities after treatment.
Some side effects could cause discomfort after injections. After injections, symptoms like bruising, redness, and soreness are common side effects. These subside in days and can be treated with home remedies and over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can You Exercise After Botox?
-
Generally, you should avoid strenuous activities like exercise up to four hours after Botox injections. This prevents Botox injections from migrating from the injection site and affecting your treatment outcome. However, we recommend waiting up to 24 hours before exercising.
-
You should avoid drinking alcohol for up to two days after treatment. Alcohol has blood-thinning properties, which can increase your blood flow. This can lead to bruising and swelling at the injection site.
-
Botox freezes your muscles temporarily and wears out after three to four months. To maintain the effects of your treatment, you should schedule your appointment around that time or as your provider recommends. Clients that skip out on additional treatments will eventually regain control of the target muscle, which can lead to dynamic wrinkle redeveloping.
