Botox | Dysport | Xeomin | Jeuveau

Pre-Procedure:

  • To have the best chance of avoiding bruising during the procedure, abstaining from the use of alcohol & anti-inflammatories (like ibuprofen) for 1 week prior to the procedure is best.

  • There is always a risk of bruising with Tox injections, but they are less common.

  • Be sure that it has been at least 90 days since your last full treatment of Tox.

  • If you aren’t able to see the muscles in that area contracting, it may not be time for you to get treated & should wait 1-3 more weeks to evaluate.

What to Expect:

  • Procedure time is quite fast, only 2-5 minutes needed for actual treatment.

  • Consultation & facial mapping by your injector will take the longest.

  • It takes 2 weeks for your results to fully show.

  • Pain level is usually quite low; the needles used are very tiny & our injectors are trained to inject in the most comfortable way possible with certain techniques.

  • We carry most neuromodulators: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, & Jeuveau.

  • Pricing will vary based on area, muscle strength, goals, & aesthetic look.

  • We always try to treat on more of the conservative side with the knowledge that it may require more later on at the 2 week mark or for subsequent treatments in the future. WE CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE, but we can’t take it away.

  • All first time patients go through getting treated & then figuring out where tweaks need to be made so that their results are perfect & all we need to do is copy & paste each time you come for subsequent treatments. Our goal isn’t for you to just be wrinkle-free, but for you to love the way you look with Tox!

Post-Procedure:

  • No exercising after the procedure on that day, the next day is fine.

  • AVOID (day of): Anything that requires pressure or pushing on your facial muscles; laying down on a massage table, hats, facial massaging, or vigorous rubbing with skincare

  • No restrictions once you have reached the day after your appointment.

  • If there is any part of your treatment that you have question or concern with, you should absolutely follow up with your provider (no earlier than 2 weeks, & ideally no later than 3 weeks) for concerns to be addressed & corrected.

  • We always recommend waiting til your treatment is 75-100% worn off before treating again (usually at the 3-4 month mark).
