Botox
Reduce Wrinkles with Botox, Dysport, & Xeomin
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, known as neurotoxins, are FDA approved treatments that have been used medically since the 1970s. They are safe, highly effective, and require zero downtime. When carefully injected, Botox and Dysport give skin a smooth and renewed appearance that looks natural.
How it Works
Botox, Dysport, Xeomi,n and other neurotoxins target the underlying causes of wrinkles and frown lines. We inject small doses into the end of a nerve to temporarily block its impulses and allow facial muscles to relax.
What to Expect
Treatment only takes 10-15 minutes, and a few tiny injections. You can be in and out on your lunch break! Noticeable results should appear 3-5 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days after treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
It depends on several factors including: which area(s) you are treating (11s, forehead, crow’s feet, etc), the strength of your facial muscles, and how deep your existing lines are. We recommend a consultation ($50 or free with same-day service) with our nurse injector to create a plan that is right for you.
-
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin injections don’t hurt much — the injection just feels like a pinch! The needle is small, thin, and it goes by quickly to decrease the possibility of pain. No numbing agents are needed.
-
There’s virtually zero downtime with these treatments. Neurotoxins are often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure,” since most patients return directly to work or normal activity immediately. Some redness and swelling may occur at the injection sites, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Very rarely, patients may experience minor bruising.
-
Results last around 3-6 months, depending on the location of the treatment, your muscle activity and your body’s individual response.
-
While Botox and Dysport are both injectables (specifically, botulinum toxin injections) used to treat and prevent wrinkles, their chemical compositions are slightly different which can make one more effective than the other at specific injection sites. We recommend talking to our nurse injector to understand which product is the best fit for you!
-
Neurotoxin injections are very common, low risk procedures. Headache, minor bruising, or swelling at the injection site are the most common, but still rare, side effects. As with any treatment, there are always risks, which your nurse injector will discuss with you prior to treatment.
-
Please don’t wear any makeup to your appointment. Our injectors need to be able to see your fine lines and wrinkles clearly.
People who are pregnant or nursing are not eligible for neurotoxin treatment.
-
Please follow these guidelines after your treatment:
No lying down or bending over for 4 hours post injection
Please refrain from exercise and massage for 24 post treatment
No hats or headbands across injection site for 24 hours post treatment
No facials for 1 week
When washing your face, please “dab” the injected area rather than rub
Know that bruising and soreness at injection site is possible
