Why Dr. Lum, DO

Physician-Led Care From Consultation to Treatment

Dr. Lum, DO personally evaluates every Botox patient and performs each injection himself, ensuring medical oversight at every step. His approach prioritizes facial balance, muscle function, and long-term outcomes—not trends or overcorrection. Patients choose Lumier Medical for Botox in Torrance because they value thoughtful guidance, honest recommendations, and results that age gracefully.

Alle Rewards Program

Alle Loyalty Program Offered By Lumier Medical

BOTOX has very tiny amounts of a highly purified protein refined from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are no active bacteria in BOTOX, therefore it cannot replicate.

Pricing depends on the number of units needed for your goals. Most Torrance patients visit Lumier Medical for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet—usually 20–50 units. Dr. Lum provides a personalized dosing plan during your consultation so you never overpay or get an unnatural result.

The duration of effect of Botox Cosmetic for frown lines is about 3 to 4 months.

Botox Cosmetic injections are widely viewed as safe, effective, and largely without serious side effects. It is important to be under the care of a licensed and skilled health care provider who understands both the science and art of performing these treatments. The most common side effects include mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising at the injection site.

Botox remains active in the treated muscles for about 3 to 4 months. However, it’s metabolized naturally by your body within a few weeks after injection.

That depends on the area and your muscle strength. On average, most patients need 10–25 units for frown lines, 6–20 for the forehead, and 12–24 for crow’s feet. I always customize the dose for balance and natural results.

Can Botox fix a dimpled or “pebble” chin?

 

Yes. Botox can effectively smooth a dimpled chin by relaxing the mentalis muscle responsible for puckering. As the muscle activity softens, the chin surface appears smoother and more even. To learn more about how this works and what to expect, read our full article on dimpled chin Botox before and after results.

Many people worry that their faces will shrivel or become more wrinkled after they stop using Botox. The reality is that Botox helps delay the aging process. When you stop getting Botox, your expression lines won’t reappear overnight. Your skin will look smoother with fewer wrinkles, and you will look younger relative to your age.

All BOTOX® treatments are performed exclusively by Dr. Michael Lum, MD, a Torrance physician known for natural-looking, conservative results. No nurses, no injectors—just expert, physician-delivered care.

The effects of Botox Cosmetic may last for months, but Botox is broken down into harmless particles that leave your system completely long before that. The duration of the effect is temporary, but typically lasts for months because the Botox temporarily affects a specific type of protein within the nerve endings that normally helps the muscle contract. The beneficial effects of treatment wear off when your body repairs that protein.

BOTOX prevents headaches and migraines attacks before they even start. About 10 minutes of treatment every 3 months can help chronic migraine sufferers. See the section entitled “Botox for Migraine and Tension Headaches” above.

You’ll start to see results within 3 to 5 days, with the full effect visible around 10 to 14 days after treatment.

If you stop treatments, your muscles will gradually return to normal movement, and your lines will slowly reappear over time. You won’t look worse — you’ll simply return to your natural baseline. Read our full guide on what happens when you stop getting Botox

After Botox injections, it’s recommended that you remain upright for several hours to prevent the product from migrating into unintended muscles. Lying down too soon can increase the risk of side effects like eyelid drooping or uneven facial movement. At Lumier Medical, Dr. Lum provides detailed aftercare instructions to help protect your results.

Comparing Neuromodulators: Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify®, and Letybo®

All are FDA-approved neuromodulators that relax muscle activity, but they differ in onset time, diffusion characteristics, and longevity.

BOTOX Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. BOTOX was the first of its kind to be FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2002. All Botox around the world is currently manufactured in Westport, Ireland by Allergan, an AbbVie company.

DYSPORT was FDA-approved in 2009 to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. Off-label, it is used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other areas on the face, neck, and elsewhere. Dysport was developed in the United Kingdom, and is manufactured by Ipsen, a biopharmaceutical company in France. It is sold by Galderma for aesthetic indications. Lumier Medical provides Dysport Injections in Torrance, CA.

Letybo is the newest botulinum toxin type A approved by the FDA in 2023 for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar (frown) lines in adults. Originally developed in South Korea by Hugel, Letybo is known for its highly purified formulation and smooth injection experience. Like Botox®, it can also be used off-label to treat areas such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and other facial wrinkles. Early clinical data suggest comparable onset and duration to Botox®, typically lasting around 3–4 months. For patients seeking precise, natural-looking results with a refined formulation, Letybo offers a reliable and effective alternative. Lumier Medical provides Letybo Injections in Torrance, CA.

DAXXIFY was FDA-approved in 2022 to temporarily improve moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults. Like the previously mentioned products, it can be used off-label to treat other areas. It is an alternative to Botox. DAXXIFY has a longer median duration of action of 6 months due to what is known as peptide exchange technology. Unlike its competitors, it is “vegan” since it has no added human albumin or animal byproducts. It is manufactured by Revance Therapeutics in Northern California. It is about 1.5 times more expensive than Botox, but its long-lasting duration can make it a value for those with busy schedules who prefer not to visit their injectors so often.
