Physician-Performed Botox Treatments with a Conservative Approach
At MD Laser and Aesthetics Studio in Rancho Santa Margarita, we provide expertly administered Botox treatments to help smooth wrinkles, relax facial tension, and preserve a youthful, rested appearance.
Whether you’re looking to treat visible expression lines or explore preventative Botox, all injections are performed personally by Dr. Ali Hamidi, a board-certified physician known for his subtle, natural aesthetic technique. We focus on customized care that enhances your features, never overcorrects them.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin used to temporarily relax specific facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. These are lines that form from repeated movements, such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows.
By targeting these muscles with precision, Botox allows the overlying skin to smooth out, leading to a more refreshed and relaxed appearance. At our practice, Botox is used conservatively, allowing for natural facial expression while minimizing lines.
Common Areas Treated with Botox
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Glabellar lines (frown lines between the brows)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Chin dimpling or puckering
- Downturned mouth corners
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
- Eyebrow lift effect (non-surgical brow lift)
Botox is often combined with dermal fillers or laser skin resurfacing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Preventative Botox
For patients in their late 20s to early 30s, preventative Botox can help delay the formation of static wrinkles by relaxing muscles before deep lines set in. This approach is subtle and tailored to preserve your natural expressions while protecting your skin’s long-term appearance.
During your consultation, Dr. Hamidi will evaluate your facial movement and make age-appropriate, conservative recommendations.
