What is Botox Cosmetic?

Botox is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults. Botox contains tiny amounts of a highly purified botulinum toxin protein refined from the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Botox is injected into these muscles to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.

Will Botox Make Me Look Like I Have Had Work Done?

Botox is a technique-sensitive treatment and you should not lose the ability to show expression when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained and a medical expert in facial anatomy. It is important to talk to your specialist about the results you want from treatment.

Does Botox Treatment Hurt?

Some clients have reported that it feels like a pinch. If you are worried, your specialist can use ice to numb the treatment area or may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.​

When Will I See Results?

You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months.

What Is The Difference Between Botox and Dermal Fillers?​

Dermal Fillers and Botox Cosmetics are both injectable treatments that are used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles but they are used in very different ways. Injectable fillers fill in wrinkles from below the skin’s surface reducing their appearance. Botox Cosmetic uses a purified form of the botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the muscles that cause “dynamic” wrinkles (facial expression). When used together, both can create beautiful outcomes.

Who Is A Good Candidate for Fillers?​

These products work well and are safe for nearly anyone who is interested in erasing wrinkles around the face or adding volume to the lips, cheeks, or under-eye hollows. Most of the fillers we use are made from ingredients that are found naturally in the body.

Are All Fillers The Same?​

No. Although dermal fillers are all gels that are injected under the surface of the skin to add volume, many of them use different active ingredients and come in different formulations that make them more appropriate for different areas of the face. Speak to your specialist about what option is right for you.

What is Micro-Needling?

Micro-needling (aka collagen induction therapy) is a concept using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of the skin based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself when it suffers physical damage such as cuts, burns or other injuries resulting in cell turnover and increased collagen and elastin production reversing the signs of aging.

Clients usually tolerate the procedure well – the client is given a numbing cream approx. 20 minutes before treatment to make the procedure relatively painless. However, there can be soreness and redness after the procedure due to the induced inflammatory response. You can expect swelling and soreness during the first 48 hours post-procedure and can take pain medication to help alleviate the discomfort.

Micro-Needling using the INNOPen can be repeated every 2-4 weeks and usually 3 – 6 sessions are sufficient, though some clients may require maintenance therapy once a year or more frequently depending upon the care and condition of their skin.
