WHY CHOOSE US?

Stanford and Harvard alumna Dr. Kathleen Welsh is one of the top providers of BOTOX in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has performed more than 50,000 treatments in the past fifteen years of cosmetic dermatology practice. Her colleague Dr. Andrea Hui Austin has also received years of extensive training in cosmetic dermatology and is a national educator in neuromodulator treatments. Together with their skilled staff of registered nurses, and Garrett Forrest, PA-C, Dr. Welsh and Dr. Hui Austin perform more than 5,000 BOTOX treatments per year. Dr. Welsh has personally trained all of the registered nurses on her staff that inject BOTOX and each of these practitioners is skilled at determining the proper placement and volume of BOTOX to help you achieve your desired results. The results are natural and subtle – no one will ask you if you just had BOTOX, but they may notice that you look rested and refreshed.

What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is an FDA-approved injectable wrinkle relaxer used to safely smooth lines and wrinkles on the face. BOTOX  works by relaxing the over-used muscles underneath the skin to minimize dynamic wrinkles like "Crow's feet" in the corners of the eye, frown lines (also known as “11’s”), forehead furrows, smiles lines, and more. The result is an overall softer and more youthful appearance. In addition, BOTOX can also be used to treat severe headaches, excessive perspiration, and temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. To learn more about BOTOX, please schedule a cosmetic consultation with one of our San Francisco board-certified dermatologists, our PA, or one of our registered nurses. 

Who should get BOTOX?

Millions of patients worldwide have already been treated with BOTOX, making it the #1 selling product of its kind in the world. If you are unhappy with the wrinkles around your eyes and forehead, you may be a candidate for BOTOX. It not only provides temporary relief from moderate to severe lines and creases, like Crow's feet, frown lines, smile lines, and forehead furrows but can also be used to prevent new wrinkles from forming. If you are looking for a quick, effective, and nonsurgical anti-aging treatment, BOTOX may be the perfect treatment for you.

OUR BOTOX INJECTION TECHNIQUE

BOTOX treatments are very simple when performed by one of our highly skilled injectors. A topical numbing cream will first be applied to the injection site. Then, using a very fine needle, one of the providers injects the BOTOX into the treatment area. Most patients find the injections to be painless and, with the topical numbing, you may not feel anything at all! Our skilled medical professionals determine the exact amount of BOTOX that you will need and the ideal placement for individualized and best results. After your BOTOX treatment is complete, you can almost immediately go back to your daily routine.

Todays visit was very efficient - I had a scar worked on by a nurse and got Botox with the doctor.

Dr. Austin is, without a doubt, the most talented doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of consulting. Her knowledge extends far beyond traditional dermatology - in her words, it’s her job "to not just know about the skin, but everything going on underneath it." If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, look no further.I bounced through dermatologists and medspas for decades, until I found Dr. Austin seven years ago. I came to her with the goal of "feeling confident without makeup." She’s helped me achieve that, and so much more. I now live outside of the Bay Area, and drive a couple hours each way to see her. Totally worth it. I’d take a cross-country flight to see her (and you should, too).She’s constantly reading new research papers, and gathering more information for her ever-expanding arsenal. She’s done extensive research specifically to support my needs better - as she does for every single client. She’s more informed than any doctor I’ve ever been to, and I seek out her opinion on every medical issue I face. Her work IS the cutting edge of medicine.My dandruff is gone. My keratosis pilaris is gone. My eczema is gone. My dark circles are gone, and my hair is thick again. My dry skin is finally manageable, after decades of struggle. I can go foundation-free if I want. My botox and fillers are flawless and understated, and my face is beautifully symmetrical. I’m aging gracefully (and look much younger than my peers, thanks to her!). I genuinely trust her advice more than the advice of my friends and family, and wish I had found her sooner.She’s encouraged me to pursue the diagnosis and treatment of multiple autoimmune conditions that were affecting my whole-body health, including Hashimoto’s, POTS, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Where some doctors lack in understanding, she excels. She’s suggested more effective workouts, simple routine changes, and medical-grade products that have saved me thousands of dollars.At this point, I give her a budget and let her do whatever she wants. She carefully respects my financial constraints, and addresses my needs without judgement. Her office isn’t cheap, but I find that every single treatment is far more effective than any other office I’ve been to. The lasers available at her office are some of the most advanced in the country. She administers injectables artfully, and does more with less. Everything is heavily based in science - and it really, really works.I have no doubt that Dr. Austin will continue to receive well-deserved accolades and recognition. I know I’m seeing one of the best dermatologists in the world, and I am so grateful. I can’t sing her praises enough.I’m honored to be in her care, and consider myself blessed to have gained a wonderful friend in the process. It makes me a little emotional to write this review, because she’s truly changed my life so much.Thank you, Doctor Austin! I can’t wait to see you next!

My family and I see Cynthia for our skin cancer screenings, botox, and filler. She is so detail oriented, kind, artistic, and lovely. We really appreciate her work.

Dr Austin took my decent mid-50's skin and flagging self-esteem and made them really, really great. She flawlessly filled old acne scars, removed pre-cancer bits and rosacea, smoothed wrinkles, snatched up my jawline and explained how anatomy and biochem work during my visits. She's made a long-term plan for me and all her patients that seem like the minimum of highly effective things, so we all look startlingly better but still believable and healthy. Dr Austin is gentle, rational and super trustworthy. She's like a wizard. Her team is awesome, too.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER BOTOX?

After a BOTOX treatment, patients can expect some minor swelling and redness at the injection sites. This goes away quickly and is generally not noticeable within about an hour after the treatment. The results following a BOTOX treatment are not immediate. Typically it takes about seven to fourteen days for patients to see their smoother, softer complexion begin to appear. At our dermatology office, our patients love their results so much, they come back every three to four months so that they can maintain their gorgeous results.
