BOTOX® Cosmetic in Monterey
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Morwood offers wrinkle reduction treatments for patients in Monterey using a variety of products. These injections can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds in areas across the face.
What Is Botox®?
The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.
Botox injections are an excellent option for preventing the further progression of wrinkles and can be used to maintain a youthful appearance until surgical methods, like a facelift or neck lift.

Botox® Cosmetic in Monterey, CA — Look years younger in a matter of minutes
Every face tells a story — but for some people, unwanted lines and wrinkles make them hesitant to share it fully with the world. Today there are many non-surgical options to help restore a youthful appearance — and the confidence that goes with it. One of the most popular procedures involves Botox injections, which can have a significant impact on helping someone look and feel their best.
Is Botox® a solution for wrinkles and other conditions?
The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies also show that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.
Is Botox® safe?
Botox is a neurotoxin, which sounds scary, but is perfectly safe — as long as it’s made and administered by a licensed professional. Botox has proven to be a successful and valuable therapeutic protein when dosage, frequency of treatment and variety of treated clinical conditions are considered. While it’s an injectable, don’t let the thought of a needle alarm you. The only thing you’ll feel is a little pinch.
How long will Botox® last?
How long Botox will last varies, depending on the quality of the Botox preparation, the amount injected and the skill of the physician. The average cosmetic Botox treatment will last about four months but can last up to six months. A lot depends on the thickness of the wrinkles and the muscle underneath the skin, and the freshness of the Botox preparation.
Benefits of Botox
Botox works effectively on the root of the cause of wrinkles — the muscles. The worrisome lines on our faces are caused by repeated facial movements and can be improved with Botox injections. When you visit Dr. David Morwood for your treatment, you’ll enjoy:
- Younger-looking skin
- A more refreshed appearance
- Quick, discreet treatments
- No downtime or recovery
- Minimal side effects
- A lifted look to the brows
In addition to correcting visible wrinkles, many patients use injectables to prevent the formation of wrinkles.
Arrange a Botox® Consultation
Obviously, getting this popular anti-wrinkle treatment is a personal decision, and there is much to consider. Many men and women start getting them at the first signs of fine lines and wrinkles, while younger people, more interested in prevention, sometimes begin treatment in their late 20s.
Botox and similar injectables are particularly beneficial for people who want to:
- Minimize the look of furrow lines on the forehead
- Improve the appearance of wrinkles between the brows
- Soften crow’s feet around the eyes
- Get rid of “bunny lines” at the bridge of the nose
- Lift the brows without surgery
- Correct a gummy smile
- Reduce the look of vertical neck lines or neck bands
- Lift the corners of the mouth
- Slim and contour the jawline
Begin with a consultation
The process begins with a detailed, sit-down consultation with Dr. Morwood in his office. He will discuss your aesthetic concerns, review the unique characteristics of your face, and then a joint decision will be reached about which aesthetic goals should and can be realistically accomplished.
