Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Botox® best for?
Botox® is a safe, FDA-approved treatment that's been used medically since the 1970s and is best for those looking to soften the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles with zero downtime.
How long does Botox® last?
Results last for different lengths of time depending on your treatment area and desired results, but you can typically expect them to last about 3-4 months.
What does it feel like?
You may feel a mild pinch at the injection site.
What is the downtime?
There’s virtually no downtime for Botox® & Wrinkle Relaxers. You might have small red bumps at the injection sites that resemble bug bites, but they usually subside within the hour.
Can I get this treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, this treatment is not suitable while pregnant or breastfeeding.
How does pricing work?
We price unit for the upper face—glabella, crows feet, and forehead—and have set pricing for pain managment and excessive sweating under arms treatments.
What is an "area"?
Examples of “1 area” include the upper forehead, the lower forehead, between brows, and corners of the eyes.
How many units are included per area? Is there a limit?
It’s been clinically demonstrated that up to 60 units/3 areas is the optimal amount for best results & duration. For this reason, each area is priced to include up to 20 units. That being said, we want to ensure that you get the results you desire. If additional units are required for the look you want, they will be priced.
What is in Botox & Wrinkle Relaxers?
Botox & Wrinkle Relaxers use microdoses of neuromodulators, or neurotoxins, injecting them into specific muscle nerves. They then temporarily block—or freeze—the impulses, causing the muscles to relax and fine lines & wrinkles to soften.
Is it true that neuromodulators can cause an eyelid to sag?
This type of result is very rare, occurring less than 0.1% of the time. This undesirable outcome, however unlikely, is fortunately both temporary and addressable.
Are there any other side effects I should know about?
Headache, minor bruising, or swelling at the injection site are the most common, but still rare, side effects.
Can I workout after?
Plan on getting your workout in before this treatment, and avoid exercise, along with other physical activities that make you sweat, for 24 hours after treatment.
What is a lip flip?
A lip flip is when neuromodulators are injected into the upper lip. This causes the muscles that pull the top lip down to gently release and "flip," making the lip appear more full.
What is hyperhydrosis?
Hyperhydrosis refers to excessive sweating that isn't triggered by heat or exercise. Botox® can treat it with injections into the underarm region, which block the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active.
How does Botox help with pain?
Botox targets the muscles involved by effectively disarming them and ensuring that they do not send panic signals throughout the body. The body believes that there is no pain being experienced.
