Non-Surgical

Subtle refinements can have a powerful impact, and Dr. Teitelbaum is proud to offer non-surgical treatments, including BOTOX, at his private practice. Every treatment is delivered with the same level of precision, restraint, and aesthetic judgment as his surgical procedures.

What Are Non-Surgical Treatments?

Non-surgical treatments use minimally invasive techniques for facial rejuvenation, using injectables to temporarily refresh your appearance. Many patients in Los Angeles and Santa Monica use BOTOX to combat early signs of aging before pursuing plastic surgery, or use it in combination with surgery to further enhance their results. Others decide to forgo surgery entirely, leveraging non-surgical treatments to gently refresh their complexion and maintain a more youthful look.

Facial Rejuvenation Without Invasive Surgery

With Dr. Teitelbaum, your non-surgical treatment will be tailored to your exact needs, and you can expect the following benefits:

Softening of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles
Prevention of deeper crease formation
Quick, in-office treatments with minimal to no downtime
No incisions or surgical recovery

Are You a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Treatments?

Most patients are suitable candidates for non-surgical treatments at Dr. Teitelbaum’s practice. With BOTOX, patients with fine lines and wrinkles on the upper face may qualify for treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Teitelbaum will perform an in-depth physical exam to confirm your candidacy.

Your Private Consultation

Ahead of your non-surgical treatment, you’ll join Dr. Teitelbaum for a one-on-one consultation at his Los Angeles office. There, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and medical history, and he’ll assess your facial structure and aging patterns to determine which non-surgical treatment is right for you.

Pricing Your Procedure

Because every non-surgical treatment is customized to the patient’s needs, no two procedures will have the same cost. Your pricing may vary depending on the extent of correction and whether you’re combining non-surgical and surgical treatments in the same session. After your consultation, Dr. Teitelbaum’s team will share a complete cost breakdown, including financing options, for total transparency.

BOTOX

BOTOX® is an advanced, purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes your facial muscles to reduce the repetitive movements that cause dynamic wrinkles. Most BOTOX sessions are complete in under 15 minutes, and you’ll have zero downtime after your injectable procedure. BOTOX can be used to address the following concerns:

Forehead lines
Frown lines between the brows
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Subtle brow asymmetry

It can take up to two weeks for BOTOX to fully take effect, but most patients begin to see results within a few days. Your outcomes will last for up to four months, depending on your body’s response to treatment.

Non-Surgical FAQs

How often will I need maintenance treatments?

With BOTOX, most patients receive maintenance treatments every three to six months. Your exact treatment schedule will depend on your aesthetic goals, your facial aging patterns, and how quickly BOTOX loses effectiveness in your body.

Can I combine non-surgical and surgical treatments?

Yes. Many patients undergo surgical and non-surgical treatments in the same session, or use BOTOX to help extend the longevity of the results from their surgical procedures. Typically, BOTOX is used in conjunction with eye lifts and brow lifts.

When should I start getting non-surgical treatments like BOTOX?

There is no “right” age to explore these treatments. Some patients begin in their 20s and 30s for preventive care, while others wait until their 40s and 50s to address more noticeable signs of aging. Your timeline will depend on your aesthetic desires and medical needs.
