Dr. Marin offers Botox injection in San Diego.
Botox is an FDA-approved muscle relaxant that helps improve fine lines, facial wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other signs of aging. It works by blocking nerves from releasing chemicals that cause muscles to contract. This prevents further skin aging by limiting movement and helps maintain a naturally youthful facial profile over a long period.

Dr. Vincent Marin is a leading board-certified plastic surgeon of Marin Aesthetics with over two decades of experience. He annually provides thousands of cosmetic treatments to patients worldwide with Botox that rejuvenates and restores their natural youth and beauty.

Cost & Number of Treatments

Botox injections cost $15 per unit when administered by Dr. Marin. Your final price will depend on the number of areas treated and units required to achieve ideal results. Additionally, Dr. Marin may schedule follow-up sessions to maintain results.

We accept cash, personal checks, and all major credit cards.

Difference Between Botox and Jeuveau

Both Botox and Jeuveau are derived from microorganisms that create a “toxin” that temporarily relaxes the face’s muscles. These products reduce the wrinkles and frown lines on the overlying skin while preventing new ones from forming. However, Jeuveau’s unique properties make it ideal for use in the area between the eyebrows specifically. Meanwhile, Botox is more versatile and can improve facial dynamics, reduce tendencies for grinding teeth, TMJ pain, control overactive sweat glands, or even treat chronic migraines.

Dr. Marin utilizes both of these products and will determine which is better for your concerns during the consultation.

The Botox Treatment

Botox injections are a quick, in-office procedure that takes 10 – 15 minutes to complete, depending on the number of syringes being used. Dr. Marin will first identify the ideal injection sites. Small doses of local anesthetic or topical cream may be applied to the target areas, but most Botox injections are so well-tolerated that additional numbing agents are not needed.

Your New Look After Botox Injections

The results of Botox injections usually manifest 5 – 7 days after treatment. You will notice a more youthful aesthetic with a smoother forehead, softened frown lines and crow’s feet, and improved brow position.

However, Botox starts to lose effectiveness after four months, during which you will regain some control over the treated muscles, and new wrinkles may manifest. Further treatments are often required every few months to maintain results fully.

TO OUR MARIN AESTHETICS PATIENTS:

In light of the state wide restrictions on non-essential businesses to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, we are rescheduling all of our elective appointments until the global circumstances improve. Our necessary post-operative appointments will be made, as needed, to address immediate surgical concerns such as suture removal and acute postoperative issues. All non-acute follow up appointments, fillers and Botox will need to be postponed until after the quarantine period mid April. Our office will reach out to all patients who need to be rescheduled.

We will be offering new patient virtual consultations online and via Skype that can be scheduled through our website or by emailing info@marinaesthetics.com. Also, we will offer follow-up appointments in the same manner to help manage our patients’ concerns while still respecting the need for social distancing.

We appreciate all of your understanding during these difficult times for all of us.

Stay safe,

Dr. Main and the Marin Aesthetics Team
