About
Botox, Dysport or Daxxify offer individuals with wrinkles smoother skin and a natural, more well-rested appearance. Facial muscles beneath the skin contract with every facial expression and eventually form “dynamic” wrinkles such as frown lines between the brows, horizontal brow furrows, crow’s feet, bunny lines and more! These “dynamic” wrinkles deepen with age and often create a terse, stressed appearance. Botox/ Dysport/ Daxxify injections relax select muscles in the face and limit their ability to contract.
What to Expect
Botox/ Dysport/ Daxxify is only injected by our highly trained Aesthetic Nurse Providers. The injection sites can appear slightly raised but will go away in less than a half hour. Results of your treatment may take up to 14 days to take full effect. Botox/ Dysport/ Daxxify typically last 2-4 months. Longevity is dependent on area treated, lifestyle and amount of product used.
How it Works
Each injection administered by one of our Aesthetic Nurse Providers delivers a very small amount of neuromodulator into a specific facial muscle. The protein binds with the nerve endings in the muscle, causing it to relax and smooth the corresponding wrinkles on the skin’s surface, giving you a natural look. Most neuromodulators take 3-5 days to begin working. A follow up treatment may be needed 10-14 days post procedure to maximize your results.
Neuromodulators can address:
- Frown Lines
- Forehead lines
- Bunny Lines
- Lip lines/Lip flip
- Downturned mouth
- Nasal tip elevator
- Gummy smile
- Peau d’orange “orange peel” chin
- Jawline slimming
- Neck bands
- Decolletage
- Axillary Hyperhidrosis
- Create a brow lift
How to Prepare
- For 3-5 days before treatment, avoid blood thinners like NSAIDs (including Advil, Aspirin, and Aleve), alcohol and fish oils. Any blood thinning medication can increase the chance of bruising. If you need to take an over-the-counter pain reliever, take Tylenol instead.
Post Care Instructions:
- Do NOT rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours after the treatment.
- For 4 hours after treatment, do not lie down; do not do strenuous exercise; do not have a facial or a massage.
- You don’t need to avoid making any facial expressions, however; frowning, smiling, and other facial expressions can help encourage your Botox/ Dysport/ Daxxify results to show up sooner.
- Be assured that any tiny bumps, marks, or bruises will go away within a few hours to a few days after your treatment.
