BOTOX

BOTOX is used to diminish the effects of aging and stop fine lines and wrinkles from occurring on the forehead and upper face. This facial rejuvenation treatment offers amazing results and is popular among both women and men. This injectable can make a dramatic improvement to your appearance by weakening the muscles of facial expression in your forehead and eyebrows. BOTOX is a purified strain of botulinum toxin that temporarily freezes the muscles to diminish the appearance of facial wrinkles.

HOW MUCH DOES BOTOX COST?

The total cost for BOTOX injections will be based on the amount of product that is needed. This varies to fit your unique goals. In your consultation, your injector will create your custom treatment plan and then discuss cost estimates. 

HOW LONG WILL RESULTS FROM BOTOX LAST?

Improvements from BOTOX will likely be visible for as long as four months, but some patients see effects for up to six months. Usually, patients schedule a visit every quarter to sustain their results; however, you can come back earlier. If you're using BOTOX before wrinkles are visible for a proactive measure, you can schedule visits further apart. 

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BOTOX AND FILLERS?

Injectable wrinkle relaxers (including BOTOX) and injectable wrinkle fillers (including Restylane and Juvéderm) are both procedures that improve the appearance of wrinkles and correct fine lines. Wrinkle relaxers work by numbing the muscles in your face that create dynamic wrinkles. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, increase volume below the skin to correct depressions and improve fine lines throughout your face. 

IS BOTOX SAFE?

As long as it is applied correctly, BOTOX should not cause serious complications. However, it's important to choose someone with experience and training in injecting BOTOX. You cannot receive BOTOX if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Quickly becoming one of the most requested cosmetic treatments, BOTOX is considered safe and has earned approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). 

 Hyaluronic acid fillers work by temporarily plumping the skin, which smooths lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a brighter and more youthful look and feel. Because HA molecules are able to retain 1,000 times their weight in water, hyaluronic acid fillers are also the best choice for adding volume to the face and lips. 

• Juvéderm®– The Juvéderm family of fillers is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, adds volume and helps the skin retain moisture and softness. Each product in the Juvéderm family of fillers, including Vollure XC, Voluma XC, Volbella XC, Ultra and Ultra Plus XC, is made from a modified form of HA. Juvéderm fillers are best used to smooth away the look of lines and wrinkles and add volume to the face and lips.
• Restylane®– The Restylane family of fillers is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid, helping to visibly correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Restylane, Restylane-L, Restylane Lyft with Lidocaine, Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne are intended to treat facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane Countour is focused on increasing volume. Restylane Kysse is a formulation especially for the lips. Restylane and Restylane-L can also be used for lip enhancement.

HOW MUCH DO FILLERS COST?

Your cost for fillers will be dependent on the amount of filler that is needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Before your injections are administered, a personalized injection plan will be made to match your goals. Once this is done, your injector will estimate costs and discuss payment options. 

HOW LONG DO RESULTS TYPICALLY LAST?

Your results from filler may last from one to two years. This can vary based on which formula is selected and the injection site(s). The length of your results will be faster or slower depending on the speed at which your body absorbs the product. 

Expect to see your final filler result within two weeks after your appointment. It can take this long for swelling and bruising to subside and for the product to “settle” into place. Because of this, we recommend scheduling facial fillers at least two weeks before an important event. 

ARE INJECTABLE FILLERS PAINFUL?

Fillers may cause mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream can be massaged into the treatment site prior to injecting. After the injection, you might feel mild bruising and swelling that should be gone in 3 - 5 days.
