Los Angeles Botox: Non Invasive Cosmetic Procedures on the Rise
Beverly Hills, CA – December 12, 2008 – As the economy slides south, does that mean our foreheads have to follow suit? Not in Hollywood. Beverly Hills Aesthetics reports that non-surgical cosmetic services like Botox® Cosmetic are growing more popular, even in the down economy.
Beverly Hills Botox physician, Dr. Sam Assassa, points to this latest statistic: According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 59 percent of respondents said in October that the economy had affected their plans for cosmetic plastic surgery but 27 percent said they would consider less expensive procedures like Botox.
Getting Botox in Los Angeles has become about as common as getting a haircut or going to the gym. What used to be a hush-hush procedure deflected by starlets who credited their smooth skin to good genes and sunscreen is now so common that even young actresses regularly admit to using Botox.
“There is certainly nothing wrong with using Botox to look fresh and rested,” as Full House television series alum and 90210 actress, Lori Loughlin, said in the latest issue of People Magazine. Loughlin is among many famous actresses profiled in the magazine who discuss using Botox to help keep them looking fresh in front of the camera.
“I believe in getting just a little bit,” said actress, Jenny McCarthy. “It allows you to keep mobility in your face, it’s a great little secret.”
Dr. Sam Assassa, an aesthetic surgeon in Beverly Hills, regularly treats patients with Botox to achieve not only a younger look but also a generally fresher appearance. Botox is a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process. Botox weakens the muscles that wrinkle the skin, leaving areas of the face smoother for up to four months. With a few tiny injections, patients will see a noticeable improvement in frown lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and other facial areas.
“The patients who I see in Los Angeles for Botox vary from the Hollywood elite to regular working women,” said Dr. Assassa. “Most patients are grateful for the procedure because it is painless, effective, involves no downtime, and most of all its reasonable price. Botox at Beverly Hills Aesthetics costs $12 per unit.”
Beverly Hills Aesthetics will be offering current patients twenty percent off their next Botox appointment when they bring a friend for Botox on the third Saturday of any month, beginning December 20th. It’s an easy and fast way to look great for 2009, without breaking the bank.

Let’s be honest. We all know a few people that could afford to lay off the Botox for a few months. Is it vanity? Yes, but it is also a very real obsessive compulsion that drives people towards looking younger and younger.
Recent studies suggest that women across the country are “binging” on Botox, resulting in frozen faces completely devoid of any lines. Aside from being cosmetic, these “binges” have psychological roots in obsessive-compulsive disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder.
Suffering from so-called “Wrinklerexia,” some Botox-devotees become so obsessed with their crease-free image they begin to see lines where there are none and binge on Botox to get a freeze-frame face.
So how can you tell if you need Botox or a reality check?
First, make sure your doctor is actually trained to do Botox procedures. Some individuals claim to be proficient in the procedure, when in reality they are not medical professionals trained to handle medical procedures. Discuss your feelings with your doctor and heed their advice. If they feel it’s best to wait on the Botox, don’t argue!
Second, if you do have a Botox procedure, make sure your expectations for results are realistic for your age, and skin type. Expecting to eliminate every line and wrinkle in a few procedures is not safe or advisable.

Wrinkles. Crow’s feet. Frown lines. “Parenthesis” next to your nose. All of these are visible signs of aging – and can be prevented. We can’t turn back the clock on aging permanently but thankfully, there are ways we can slow it down.
Follow Dr. Assassa’s top five wrinkle fighting tips, and say goodbye to fine lines forever!
1. Avoid the sun. It’s the # 1 cause of wrinkles, with dozens of studies documenting the impact. Prolonged exposure to the sun can also cause age spots and even cancer.
2. Wear sunscreen. If you must go out in the sun, the American Academy of Dermatology says, wear sunscreen! It will protect you from skin cancer, and help prevent wrinkles at the same time.
3. Don’t smoke. Cigarette smoke ages skin by releasing an enzyme that breaks down collagen and elastin, important components of the skin. These enzymes do the most damage around the mouth, causing fine lines branching out from the lips.
4. Get adequate sleep. When you don’t get enough sleep, the body produces excess cortisol, a hormone that breaks down skin cells. If you get enough rest, you’ll produce more HGH (human growth hormone), which helps skin remain thick, more “elastic” and less likely to wrinkle.
5. Use moisturizer. Skin that is moist simply looks better, so lines and creases are far less noticeable. Additionally, regular use of moisturizer can prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place, when coupled with sunscreen use and adequate water intake.
