WRINKLE RELAXERS
Most commonly known as “Botox”, these injections relax muscles n the face that cause wrinkles. This treatment is popular for its ability to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated look. We tailor to each treatment to our client's unique needs and desired outcomes.

Pre + Post Care
-
Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior/post-treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising)
Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible for a period of 3 days before treatment.
Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which you may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation.
Be sure to have a good breakfast, including food and drink before your procedure. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.
You are not a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
-
Head up! Avoid laying down or bending over for 4 hours post treatment. This will prevent the product from tracking into the orbit of the eye causing a drooping eyelid aka ptosis.
Do NOT perform activities involving straining, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercise for 6 hours after treatment. This will keep the Botox in the injected area and not elsewhere.
We recommend you avoid applying makeup after your treatment to prevent bacteria from entering the injection sites.
Hands off! Do NOT manipulate the treated area for 48 hours post-treatment.
Do NOT receive facial/laser treatments or microdermabrasion for at least 2 weeks after injections.
Some patients may experience a headache post treatment- take Tylenol not Advil for pain relief. -Temporary mild swelling, redness, or bruising may be experienced at treatment sites. Any bruising that occurs can be easily hidden with makeup and typically resolves within a few days.
It takes 14 days to see the full results of your treatment. Between days 14-21, you will follow up with your injector to make any adjustments if required.
For optimal results, regular and continued treatments are recommended. Be sure to schedule your next visit in 3-4 months.
