Botox, Done With Restraint
Independent aesthetic medicine, practiced by nationally board-certified specialists who take the time to get your Botox in Menlo Park exactly right.
Good Botox doesn’t announce itself. At Entre Nous Aesthetics, we approach wrinkle-relaxing injections the way we approach every treatment: with restraint, precision, and a genuine understanding of your face at rest and in motion. Because we’re independently owned and clinician-led, our providers aren’t following a corporate protocol or a quota; they’re making judgment calls based on your anatomy, your goals, and years of hands-on experience.
Our team of nationally board-certified advanced-practice providers has the medical training and authority to evaluate, diagnose, and treat, not just administer. That distinction matters when the goal is softness, not stiffness, and expression, not erasure. If you’re curious whether Botox in Menlo Park is the right fit for you, we’d love to start the conversation.

Where the Skill Actually Lives
Botox is a purified neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the targeted muscles responsible for expression lines. It doesn’t fill or plump; it just encourages an overactive muscle to quiet down a bit. The skill lies almost entirely in placement and dosing, which is why we treat Botox in Menlo Park as a clinical decision, not a cookie-cutter treatment.
Before any injections, your provider maps your muscle movement while you frown, raise your brows, and smile, so the plan reflects how your face actually moves, not a generic template. Because we’re brand-agnostic, we’re just as comfortable recommending other brands when the movement pattern calls for a different onset or duration. The injections themselves take only a few minutes, using an ultrafine needle and precise product placement, calibrated to soften without flattening your natural expression.
What to Expect
Expert Injectors. Thoughtful Treatment. Precise Documentation.
Exceptional BOTOX Cosmetic® results depend on more than the product itself. They require an experienced medical provider with an advanced understanding of facial anatomy, muscle movement, and aesthetic balance.
At Entre Nous Aesthetics, our nationally board-certified advanced practice providers specialize in aesthetic medicine and bring extensive injectable experience to every treatment. Together, our team has performed more than 250,000 BOTOX®, DYSPORT®, and other neuromodulator treatments, combining clinical expertise with an individualized approach that prioritizes natural-looking results.
Our providers map each injection site directly onto your own clinical photographs, not a generic facial diagram. This creates a precise, personalized record of your treatment that we can reference and refine at future visits, resulting in thoughtful, consistent care designed around your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients see results softening gradually over 3 to 4 months, though this varies based on muscle strength, dosage, metabolism, and treatment area. Botox results are generally dose-dependent. Your expert provider will recommend the appropriate dosages such that the duration continues, then wears off in a uniform manner.
Your provider will help you plan a maintenance schedule.
The product itself is identical everywhere. What differs is who is administering it and why. As an independent practice, we’re not motivated to upsell or rush appointments.
Our providers take the time to evaluate your anatomy and recommend only what genuinely serves your goals.
Botox will not make your face look frozen if it’s dosed and placed correctly. Overfreezing usually comes from too much product or imprecise placement, not from Botox itself.
Our providers dose conservatively and adjust based on your muscle strength, aiming for softened lines while preserving natural, expressive movement.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, the average cost of Botox is between $14 and $23 per unit, costing anywhere from about $400 to $1,000 or more per treatment. Per-unit pricing sometimes decreases the more units you use per treatment, which depends on your treatment goals and facial anatomy. Pricing can also depend on the skill and experience of the injector. It’s important to be aware that suspiciously inexpensive “Botox” may not be the real thing. Counterfeit Botox is on the rise and has triggered the FDA to issue warnings about adverse events, including hospitalizations, linked to it.

Most patients notice initial softening within two to five days, with full results visible by 2 weeks. If you have an event coming up, we recommend scheduling your treatment at least 2 weeks in advance to allow the results to settle completely.
Injectors generally ask patients to wait four hours before lying down after Botox treatments to the glabella (between the brows) in order to prevent it from spreading to unintended muscles. For those who lie face-down, this is especially risky, while lying supine (face up) is more of a theoretical risk cited when Botox Cosmetic first came to market. At Entre Nous, we believe the MOST important four-hour rule is to avoid touching or rubbing your face after Botox treatments. For us, the four hour rule is out of an abundance of caution, as Botox has been found to finish binding to it’s receptors within minutes – 30 minutes max.
Yes. Many patients pair Botox with collagen stimulators, lasers, Sofwave, and fillers. Biostimulating skin-quality treatments like PDGF, PRP/PRF, Sculptra, or Radiesse can provide a more comprehensive refresh. It can also be combined with body treatments such as Coolsculpting, BBL Body, or Sofwave Body. Because we’re brand-agnostic, we can combine products and modalities freely, building a plan around your goals rather than a single manufacturer’s offering.
