What is Botox?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — lines that form when you move your face. It is one of the most studied and widely performed aesthetic treatments in the world, with an established safety record spanning over two decades.
At Plump Medical Spa, Botox is used for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes — from smoothing expression lines to treating jaw tension, hyperhidrosis, and chronic tension headaches.
What Botox treats
Forehead lines — horizontal lines from raising the brows
Glabella (11 lines / frown lines) — vertical lines between the brows
Crow's feet — expression lines around the outer eyes
Lip flip — subtle upper lip roll for a fuller appearance without filler
Masseter (jaw slimming) — slims a wide or square jaw, treats bruxism and TMJ pain
TrapTox (trapezius) — slims the shoulder line, elongates the neck, relieves tension
Neck bands (platysma) — softens visible vertical neck cords
Chin dimpling — smooths a pebbled or dimpled chin
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) — underarm, hands, or feet — lasts 6–12 months
Brow lift — subtle arch lift without surgery
What to expect at your appointment
Every Botox appointment at Plump Medical Spa begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Mortazavi assesses your facial anatomy, observes your natural expressions at rest and in movement, and determines the appropriate dose for each area based on your muscle mass — not a standard unit count applied uniformly to every patient.
The injections take 10–15 minutes. There is minimal to no downtime. You can return to work the same day.
Doctor-only — every injection
At Plump Medical Spa, every Botox injection is performed personally by Dr. Mortazavi. There are no nurse injectors, no assistants, no delegation. This is not standard at most medical spas in Orange County — it is the defining feature of how Plump operates. Physician-performed injections mean anatomy-based dosing, medical oversight, and clinical judgment at every appointment.
How long does Botox last?
Results begin to appear in 3–5 days, with full effects settled by day 10. Duration is typically 3–4 months, depending on your metabolism, muscle mass, and the treatment area. Masseter Botox tends to last 4–6 months; hyperhidrosis treatment can last 6–12 months; lip flip and small-dose treatments wear off in 8–12 weeks.
One of the most underappreciated aspects of consistent Botox treatment is the long-term muscle atrophy effect. When a muscle is repeatedly inhibited from contracting at full strength, it gradually becomes smaller. Patients who have been treated consistently for several years often find their results last progressively longer and require fewer units.

Frequently asked questions
Is Botox painful?
Most clients report only a mild pinch. Numbing cream is available for added comfort. The injection itself takes 10–15 minutes total.
How much does Botox cost at Plump Medical Spa?
Botox starts from $250 at Plump Medical Spa in Newport Beach. It is priced per unit — Dr. Mortazavi recommends the number of units based on your facial anatomy and goals at consultation. A standard glabella treatment requires 20–25 units; forehead 10–15 units; crow's feet 10–12 units per side.
How long does Botox last?
Botox typically lasts 3–4 months. Results begin appearing in 3–5 days with full effects by day 10. With consistent treatment over time, many patients find results last progressively longer as target muscles gradually atrophy.
Will I look frozen or overdone?
Not at Plump Medical Spa. Every treatment is dosed based on your specific muscle mass and facial anatomy — not a standard unit count. The goal is to look refreshed and expressive, never frozen.
How often should I get Botox?
Every 3–4 months to maintain results and prevent lines from deepening. Consistent treatment over time produces progressively longer-lasting results as the target muscles gradually atrophy.
Can men get Botox at Plump Medical Spa?
Absolutely. Dr. Mortazavi tailors dosing and placement for masculine facial features and proportions. Male patients have different muscle mass and aesthetic goals — treatment is adjusted accordingly.
Is there any downtime after Botox?
Minimal. You can return to work immediately. Avoid lying down for 4 hours, intense exercise or alcohol for 24 hours, and do not rub or massage the treated area.
Is it safe to combine Botox with fillers?
Yes — and it is often recommended for full facial rejuvenation. Botox addresses dynamic muscle movement; fillers address volume loss and structural support. Many patients have both done in the same appointment.
