How Long Does a Normal Treatment Take?
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® treatments take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to perform. We always do our best to reduce discomfort during your treatment. We begin by applying a topical cream, which helps to numb the skin in the area we treat. The products we use contain a local anesthetic, which helps significantly with sensitivity. These, in combination with a skilled and gentle touch, helps create a positive and comforting experience.
What Results Will I See?
Although the results of BOTOX® Cosmetic & Dysport® are visible, they will not radically change your face’s appearance. The muscles are relaxed so that you will appear smooth and youthful. The idea is to have a natural and refreshed look.
Results of BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® typically lasts 3-6 months, depending on the individual’s metabolism. Follow up with future treatments as you desire.
Is There Any Downtime?
There’s minimal to no downtime associated with your BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® treatment. Swelling and bruising vary by each individual. It is normal to have some swelling and a general “tight” feeling after the treatment. Bruising can develop, and we recommend pre and post-treatment homeopathic arnica, which helps reduce the risk. Refraining from the use of Asprin, anti-inflammatories, fish oils, alcohol, and other blood-thinning agents can also minimize bruising. You can apply mineral makeup to cover the areas immediately afterward, but you should avoid other cosmetics for the first 24 hours.
