Refined Botox treatments for Temple City patients who want softer lines and full, expressive features. Same skin first philosophy that built our reputation in Newport Beach.
Temple City life moves fast. Between the Las Tunas commute, family responsibilities, and the dry San Gabriel Valley air, fine lines and tired expressions can show up earlier than expected.
Most patients we meet from the Temple City area share the same frustrations. They have tried results that looked stiff, costs that felt unpredictable, and providers who pushed treatments instead of listening. Sun exposure across LA County only compounds the issue.
We approach Botox differently. Our role is to soften wrinkles, not erase the face that makes you you. That distinction matters for patients who still want to smile fully at school pickup, on Rosemead Boulevard patios, or across the table at a Temple City Camellia Festival event.
Every patient who travels to us from Temple City begins with a thorough consultation. We review your facial anatomy, your medical history, and the expression you want to keep. Then we map injection points before a single dose is administered.
We are led by Isabel “Izzy” Koo, MSN, NP-BC, a Master Certified Aesthetic Nurse Injector with advanced training in injectables, lasers, and energy devices. Our philosophy blends Korean beauty principles, hydration, prevention, barrier strength, with the sculptural precision of Western aesthetics.
We use FDA approved neuromodulators including Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, and Letybo. Each one behaves a little differently, and we recommend the right product for your goals rather than a one size fits all script. Recovery is usually immediate, with results developing gradually over the following days.

We see patients from across LA County who want care that matches the standards of our Newport Beach studio. Whether you are coming straight from a morning walk near Temple City Park or finishing a weekend at Live Oak Park, we make the visit worth the drive with focused appointments and a calm, considered experience.

Pricing depends on the product used and the number of units required for your treatment areas. Botox is typically priced per unit, while options like Daxxify may carry a different rate due to longer lasting results. We provide an exact quote during your consultation after reviewing your goals and facial anatomy. We believe in transparent pricing with no pressure, so you leave knowing exactly what your plan involves before any treatment begins.
Most patients begin noticing softening within three to five days, with full results appearing around two weeks after treatment. Standard Botox lasts approximately three to four months. Daxxify can extend longer for many patients, often four to six months. Maintenance treatments help preserve smooth results and may extend the time between sessions. Your injector will recommend a personalized schedule based on how your muscles respond.
Botox has been safely used in medical aesthetics for over two decades and is one of the most studied injectables available. Mild side effects can include temporary redness, small bruising, or minor swelling at injection sites. These typically resolve within hours to a few days. We minimize risk by using ultra fine needles, precise mapping, and thorough medical history review. Patients return to normal activity the same day with simple aftercare instructions.
Plan to arrive with a clean face if possible. Avoid blood thinning supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, and ibuprofen for a few days before your visit when medically appropriate. Limit alcohol the night before to reduce bruising. Eat a normal meal beforehand. Bring questions, photos of looks you like, and an honest sense of what you want. We will walk you through everything else during consultation.
Many patients travel to us because skill matters more than proximity when it comes to your face. Our practice is led by a Master Certified Aesthetic Nurse Injector with advanced training in facial balancing, injectables, and regenerative therapies. We focus on natural, balanced outcomes that look like you on your best day. Patients tell us the drive is worth the difference in artistry, transparency, and the personal attention they receive at every visit.
Yes, and many of our Temple City patients do. Botox pairs well with dermal fillers for volume, microneedling for skin texture, PRF or PRP for regeneration, and glass skin boosters like SkinVive or Rejuran for hydration and glow. We can build a comprehensive plan during your consultation or layer treatments across visits at a pace that fits your schedule and budget. Combination care often delivers more complete, longer lasting results.
