What should I expect after an injectable treatment?

You may experience pain, tenderness, temporary redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, and bumps at the injection sites. Studies have shown that these are usually mild to moderate in nature and clear up on their own in 7 days or less. If you experience swelling at the injection site, you can apply an ice pack for a brief period. You should avoid the following for at least 24 hours after treatment: Strenuous exercise, consumption of alcoholic beverages, and extended exposure to sun or heat.

Some patients report that being injected with Botox feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area or may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment. We always make sure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible!

How Do Injectables & Fillers Work?

Using a short, thin needle, your injection specialist will deliver small amounts of the compound into specific areas of concern, making your experience as pain-free and comfortable as possible. An anesthetic can be used to reduce injection pain in areas of higher sensitivity, when necessary. The amount of injectable varies per injection site and individual severity.

Will my face look overdone or unnatural?

You can trust your injectable to deliver subtle results when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. No one should be able to tell that you’ve had anything done!

Safety and Efficiency of Botox and Neurotoxins

What Is Botox?

Botox is a popular cosmetic injectable treatment that helps temporarily reduce the appearance of all kinds of wrinkles. Common reasons for Botox include:

Crow’s feet
Fine lines
Neck bands
Gummy smiles
Frown lines
Lip wrinkles
Forehead wrinkles
Mad face
Wide jaw
Excessive sweating of the underarms, palms, and soles of feet

Botox works by targeting and blocking the nerves that signal muscles to contract. Without the muscles’ ability to tighten, your face will take on a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Botox

Patients looking to eliminate unwanted facial wrinkles may benefit from this treatment. Some advantages of treatment with Botox include:

Enhances natural beauty
Smooths out unwanted wrinkles on the face, chest, and neck
Improves facial contours
Reduces flushing and sweating

What is Micro-Tox?

Micro-Tox is the precise artistic application of external botox or other neurotoxins. We can custom-mix neurotoxins, as well. Micro-Tox is injected into the superficial layers of skin to smooth wrinkles, tighten pores, and reduce flushing and sweating. Areas of use include:

Neck bands
Décolletage
Concentric smile wrinkles
Foreheads
Crow’s feet that drape across the cheek bone

The anti-flushing effects can even improve rosacea and help prevent those tiny blood vessels that show up from years of flushing.
