What Is BOTOX?
When you see your reflection in the mirror, are you distressed about wrinkles or fine lines on your brow area and the delicate skin near your eyes? Commonly called dynamic lines and wrinkles, these skin changes occur due to continuous expressions, such as frowning, squinting, and smiling. As people age, these lines and wrinkles ultimately stay put and can make them appear less youthful. Thanks to BOTOX Cosmetic treatments, it is now possible to temporarily minimize the appearance of moderate to severe Crow's feet, forehead creases, and frown lines. BOTOX is a clean strain of botulinum toxin type A. It functions to temporarily relax the muscles that create those expressions, letting the skin recover over time. At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, our team is pleased to provide BOTOX services as a nonsurgical aesthetic option to help women and men achieve smoother, renewed results. We invite you to contact one of our premier locations in West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, or Tehachapi, CA for more information about BOTOX Cosmetic.
How Does BOTOX Work?
At your first consultation at Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, we will perform a skin assessment to decide which areas require treatment. BOTOX is generally a fast, outpatient procedure so your injections can often be administered in the same appointment. The formula will be injected into the specified areas of your brow or face using a fine-gauge needle. BOTOX treatment takes about ten minutes to carry out, and many people report only slight discomfort (like a pinching or pinprick feeling). Following your visit, you are free to leave our practice and get right back to your day.
What Should I Expect after BOTOX?
It is common to notice a slight redness, bruising, and swelling in the treatment sites, but these symptoms should not last long. Our team may suggest you forgo rigorous exercise and avoid touching the treatment sites for about a day. Over the course of 2 – 3 days, you will likely start to notice your smooth, firm results. BOTOX injections could provide up to four months of youthful, natural-looking enhancements for most patients. Our team will suggest how frequently you need treatments as part of a personalized plan to attain your cosmetic goals. During your consultation, we can discuss the approximate price of BOTOX procedures; however, the cost typically varies according to how many units are administered.
What Are the Benefits of BOTOX?
Fine lines and facial folds can detract from our better features and make us appear more aged than actuality. BOTOX is a good treatment for helping you achieve a more youthful, polished look. Although the outcomes are not forever, you will enjoy the benefits for a few months before needing a touch-up treatment. Patients may also get other benefits from BOTOX at Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, including:
- Brief procedures: BOTOX procedures usually last for as little as ten minutes.
- Very little pain: BOTOX sessions use a very small needle, making procedures seem like a minor pinch of the skin.
- Easy maintenance: People who desire to keep their appearance for a while should find that follow-up treatment appointments are brief and realistic for everyday activities.
- Minimal downtime or rehab: Because of its minimally invasive nature, you are welcome to resume your everyday schedule after sessions.
Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa Reviews
I love this location (private/modern), the whole building is dedicated to their services offered, not wedged in a place. Received botox and laser removal, both went wonderfully. Retha is the best. My only concern I have to make the place better, is that I noticed the foot pedal for the laser removal has to be moved to be accessed for use. Got it. But, what I didnt like was the technician or nurse would pick it up off the floor, move it and then proceed with services handling the equipment and touching my face. No removing of the gloves, washing hands, and replacing gloves. (worried). The pedal is for their feet to start the machine or laser process!!!! Never have I seen the laser equipment wiped down before or after services rendered and I know there is jelly-goo on it from being on the body. This also goes for the glasses used to protect the eyes, I see smudges, and fingerprints from previous clients.I just wish that cleaning, sanitizing was as up to par, as the quality of location, services, prices, and office professionalism. Other than that I love this place, its cute and can be more classy after cleaning. Just please clean everything and wipe it all down!!! Check it out, its the best place in the AV, feels like walking into Stevenson Ranch lol for comparison.
What a wonderful establishment. I went in for a Botox consult & ended up with the treatment! The front receptionist really helped calm my nerves too. Michelle answered every question I had. The wait time was nothing, I was in & out in about 40 minutes being a new patient. I'll definitely be going here & here only!
I had Botox done between my eyebrows and it's made a world of difference for my deep crease I had I love it their staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable
I’ve been coming here for the last 3 years to see the Nurse Practitioner Michelle and I am very happy pleased with how she takes the time to get to know her patients. I’ve had great experiences with her Botox, fillers and appreciate her honesty with more conservative treatments rather than taking my money like other places do. If you’re going to come here I would highly recommend Michelle the Nurse Practitioner!
I am so upset right now, I was a new client going in for my very first visit for Botox , my appointment was at 4pm and they literally just called me at 3:05pm to tell me she is rescheduling my appointment to Tuesday, not even giving me the option or explaining why. This appointment was reserved one month ago. That is very unprofessional and they definitely lost a new client. The girl in the front needs training she comes off as very rude and is always calling out. They should’ve given me a heads up at least one to two days before but one hour before the procedure is very inconsiderate and unprofessional. ***UPDATE*** The Office Manager Eloísa called me to apologize for the bad experience I encountered. She made me feel comfortable and secure enough to give them a chance to do the services I wanted. I went in on 4/12 and had a great experience with Eloisa, Michelle and Lora. Overall I do recommend Sandhu Dermatology, thank you ladies for the great experience.

Should I Get BOTOX?
Individuals who are interested in a noninvasive alternative to reduce frown lines, Crow's feet, or forehead wrinkles may be ideal candidates for BOTOX procedures at Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa. This can be a good aesthetic option if you are experiencing noticeable "11" lines between the eyes (glabellar lines) that contribute to a withered or older appearance. BOTOX Cosmetic has gained a reputation with younger men and women, as well. Though men and women in their 20s and 30s might not yet notice the signs of aging, BOTOX may be provided as a preventive option to get ahead of the natural aging process by temporarily reducing or delaying the proliferation of facial lines.
BOTOX FAQ
How many injections/units will I likely need?
The number of BOTOX treatments required will differ according to individual goals and the severity and depth of your wrinkles and lines. Dr. Sandhu can determine the ideal quantity of BOTOX injections according to your desired treatment results and whether you prefer to treat the forehead, Crow's feet, or between the eyes. We suggest getting BOTOX every few months at Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa to prolong your cosmetic outcomes.
Can I have BOTOX with additional nonsurgical procedures?
BOTOX treatment generally pairs well with other noninvasive options at Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa for individuals who wish to target aging concerns. If you notice more extensive and pronounced facial wrinkles and creases, we could discuss administering a dermal filler for maximum outcomes. Dr. Sandhu might perform other complementary services, such as PRP with microneedling or facials, to further enhance a younger-looking radiant appearance.
Is there a variation among fillers and wrinkle relaxers?
While wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX Cosmetic, are provided to minimize facial lines by temporarily preventing muscle engagement, fillers are a distinct category of cosmetic injections that increase volume in the face. Fillers are designed to volumize gaunt-looking areas and reduce static wrinkles. Dr. Sandhu can decide if you might be a good candidate for a filler to enhance your BOTOX results further.
