Treatments
Botox/Dysport
Botox and Dysport are injectable treatments that use a purified form of botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles in the face. They work by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, resulting in a smoother appearance. The effects typically last for several months.
Juvederm/Restylane
Juvederm and Restylane are injectable dermal fillers that use a hyaluronic acid-based gel to add volume and plumpness to the skin. They are used to enhance facial features, smooth out wrinkles, and restore volume to the face by filling in the space under the skin. The effects are immediate and can last from six months to a year or more. These treatments are safe and effective when administered by a licensed healthcare professional.

TREATMENT AREAS
Botox is used to treat many areas but these are some of the most common areas of treatment:
- Glabella (11’s)
- Forehead
- Crows feet
- Skin bands on the neck (Platysmal bands)
- Chin
RESULTS
Results can be noticed in a few days but takes up to two weeks to notice the full effect. Results generally last 3-4 months.
HOW IT WORKS
Botox is a purified substance that’s derived from bacteria. When injected into the muscle there’s a temporary pause in communication to your nerves that decreases the ability of the muscles to contract which provides a subtle softening of fine lines and wrinkles. This generally lasts 3-4 months and for continued effect another treatment would be warranted.

WHAT TO KNOW
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid that is a sugar naturally found in our bodies and can last 6-24 months depending on the product used, areas treated, and the individual’s metabolism. There are risks to dermal filler such as blindness, asymmetry, tissue death, lumps, bumps, and bruising.
HOW IT WORKS
Juvederm is injected in ways to support your face. Each filler has a unique personality and the product selected will be chosen carefully to achieve the best result for the areas being treated. The ultimate goal is a refreshed look that moves naturally with all facial expressions.
RECOVERY
Bruising is not uncommon, and one should avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours post treatment. There can be some temporary discomfort to the treatment areas and swelling that can last 1-2 weeks. Cold compresses can aid in swelling post-treatment.
