Treatment Areas

A:
We treat the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, and offer lip flip treatments. We also inject the masseter for jawline slimming and the trapezius for shoulder contouring. Additionally, we perform the Nefertiti lift — a technique that uses Botox to lift the lower face and address sagging and laxity.
Q:
do you offer botox for medical conditions like tmj migraines teeth grinding or excessive sweating?
A:
Yes, we treat all of those conditions. Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraines and hyperhidrosis, and it’s highly effective for TMJ and teeth grinding as well.
Natural-Looking Results
Q:
how do you ensure botox results look natural and not frozen?
A:
Natural results come from strategic injection placement by experienced and qualified board-certified practitioners. We focus on relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles while preserving your natural expressions.
Q:
will botox make my face look frozen or unnatural?
A:
Not if done properly and conservatively. Our goal is always to enhance your appearance while keeping you looking like yourself.
Preventative Botox
Q:
do you offer preventative botox or baby botox for younger patients in their 20s and 30s?
A:
Yes, preventative Botox has become increasingly popular. Starting treatments in your 20s or 30s can help prevent deep lines from forming in the first place.
Q:
is botox a good option for forehead lines if i'm in my early 30s?
A:
Yes, starting Botox in your early 30s is actually ideal for preventing forehead lines from becoming deeply etched. It’s much easier to prevent wrinkles than to treat established ones.
The Appointment Experience
Q:
how long does a typical botox appointment take?
A:
A typical Botox appointment takes about 15 minutes. It’s quick enough that many patients come in during their lunch break.
Q:
what should i do to prepare for my first botox appointment?
A:
You can take zinc for a week prior to your Botox appointment — studies suggest it may help increase longevity of results. Avoid blood thinners if possible to minimize bruising.
Results & Timeline
Q:
how many days until patients see their full botox results?
A:
Full results develop over up to 2 weeks. You’ll start noticing improvement within a few days, but the final effect takes a bit longer to fully set in.
Q:
how long do botox results typically last before patients need a touch-up?
A:
Results typically last about 3 months. Some patients find their results last longer with regular treatments as the muscles become trained to relax.
Q:
do you offer a follow-up appointment to check botox results after two weeks?
A:
Yes, we offer follow-up appointments to assess your results. If any touch-ups are needed, we can address them at that time.
Aftercare & Recovery
Q:
does botox treatment require any downtime or special aftercare?
A:
Aftercare is straightforward: no laying down for 4 hours post-injection, and avoid drinking alcohol or strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
Cost & Payment
Q:
do you charge for botox by unit or by area?
A:
We charge by unit, which allows for precise dosing based on your individual needs. This ensures you’re paying for exactly what you need.
Q:
are there payment plans or insurance available for botox?
A:
Yes, we offer payment plans for cosmetic Botox. Medical Botox for conditions like migraines or hyperhidrosis may be covered by insurance.
