Frequently Asked Questions
To prepare for your appointment, try to avoid blood thinners if possible, come makeup-free, avoid alcohol consumption 24 hours prior to your treatment and minimize aspirin, ibuprofen, tylenol.
A typical treatment takes about 30-45 minutes. During the procedure, you may feel a slight pinch, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
You can expect to see noticeable improvements within 3 to 5 days after the injection, with the full effect visible in about two weeks. The results typically last between 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the area treated.
Each treatment is individualized to your specific goals and needs once a detailed assessment is completed. Dosage is determined by the strength of the muscle that needs relaxation. For example, for the crowβs feet area, your practitioner will inject 3 areas of the muscle that frames the side of the eye. For the frown lines area, your specialist will administer 5 injections into the muscles between your brows and in your forehead. For the forehead lines area, usually 5-10 injections into a muscle in your forehead are required.
Yes, bruising is a common side effect of Botox injections, though it is generally minor and temporary. The bruising lasts less than 5 days.
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify, and Jeuveau are all botulinum toxin type A, so they work the same way to relax targeted muscles. The differences come down to formulation, how quickly they start working, and how far they spread once injected. Your practitioner will recommend the brand that best matches your treatment area and goals during your consultation.
Botox is priced per unit, and your total cost depends on how many units your treatment area needs β a frown-lines treatment typically uses fewer units than a full forehead treatment. Your practitioner will give you an exact quote once your treatment plan is set.
Stay upright and avoid lying down for about 4 hours after your treatment, and skip strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, since this can cause the product to migrate to unintended muscles. Most patients return to their normal routine, including work, the same day.
Botox isn't recommended if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a neuromuscular condition such as myasthenia gravis or ALS. It's also not appropriate if you have an allergy to any of its ingredients. Be sure to share your full medical history during your consultation so your practitioner can confirm you're a safe candidate.
Since results typically fade after 3 to 4 months, most patients book follow-up treatments 3 to 4 times a year to keep results consistent. Staying on a regular schedule can also mean needing less product over time, since your muscles adjust to staying relaxed. Your practitioner can map out a maintenance schedule at your next visit.
