At SOM Aesthetics, our expert practitioners utilize Botox not only to enhance aesthetic appeal but also to address functional concerns, ensuring comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs.
At SOM Aesthetics, Dr. Saami doesn't believe in cookie-cutter Botox. Instead, he creates a detailed face map that's as unique as your fingerprint, analyzing your individual muscle movement patterns, facial anatomy, and natural expressions. This isn't about following a template — it's about understanding how your face moves when you smile, frown, or concentrate, then crafting a treatment plan that preserves what makes you uniquely you. The result? Natural-looking, undetectable rejuvenation that enhances your features rather than erasing your personality. You'll still look like yourself, just refreshed and more confident.

Botox isn't just for smoothing wrinkles — it can also refine skin texture and tone. Microinjections of Botox, known as "skin Botox," target the superficial layers of the skin to minimize pore size, reduce oil production, and create a smooth, luminous complexion reminiscent of the coveted "glass skin" look.
While Botox doesn’t traditionally treat pigmentation, Dr. Saami has crafted an advanced Botox protocol specifically designed to improve melasma and pigment irregularities. By combining precise dilution techniques with strategic placement, this innovative approach reduces inflammation, modulates pigment activity, and enhances overall skin clarity. The result is radiant, even-toned skin with lasting refinement.

Tired of looking tired — even when you're not? If fine lines on your forehead, between your brows, or around your eyes are making you feel less like yourself, Botox can help smooth things out in the most natural-looking way. Whether you're just starting to notice creases or they've been around a while, a few carefully placed injections can soften those lines and help you look more rested, calm, and refreshed. Think of it as a subtle reset — you’ll still look like you, just more at ease.

If the lower half of your face feels like it's pulling down — maybe your jaw looks tense, your smile lines are deepening, or your chin feels uneven — Botox can help rebalance things in a natural way.
he Nefertiti lift technique specifically targets the platysmal bands in the neck and jawline area, creating a subtle lifting effect that defines the jaw and smooths the neck contour. This advanced approach is especially helpful for softening a tight jaw, lifting the corners of the mouth, and smoothing out that dimply "orange peel" chin texture. You'll look softer, more relaxed, and feel more confident without looking "done."

The lip flip uses a few strategic units of Botox along the upper lip border to gently relax the muscle, allowing your natural lip to roll slightly outward. This creates the appearance of a fuller, more defined upper lip while maintaining your natural lip texture and feel. It's perfect if you feel your upper lip disappears when you smile, or if you want to test the waters before considering filler. The result is subtle, natural, and gives you that perfect pout without anyone knowing you've had anything done.

Neck lines and visible bands can show up earlier than we expect — and they’re hard to treat with skincare alone. Botox gently relaxes the muscles that cause those tight vertical bands and horizontal creases, helping your neck and jawline look smoother and more lifted. Whether you're bothered by deep lines or just want to maintain a graceful profile, this treatment is a simple way to refresh an area that’s often overlooked.

Beyond cosmetic applications, Botox provides therapeutic relief for medical conditions. For individuals suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, Botox injections into the jaw muscles can alleviate pain, reduce clenching, and improve jaw function. The treatment also offers significant relief for hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating, in areas like the underarms and palms, where traditional antiperspirants prove ineffective. Emerging studies also suggest that Botox may aid in managing melasma by inhibiting certain pathways involved in pigmentation, offering a novel approach to this challenging skin condition.
