YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS

Botox and fillers are both popular cosmetic treatments used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and enhance facial features, but they work in different ways and are used for different purposes:

Botox/Dysport: Botox works by temporarily relaxing specific muscles in the face that cause wrinkles, particularly dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused by facial movements like frowning or squinting).

It is commonly used to smooth out crow's feet (lines around the eyes), forehead lines, and frown lines (between the eyebrows).

Results typically last around 3 months, and the effects gradually wear off as the treated muscles regain their movement.

Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid Fillers): Fillers are injectable substances that add volume under the skin to smooth out wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and restore lost volume due to aging.

They are used to plump up lips, soften facial creases and wrinkles (especially static wrinkles that are visible even when the face is at rest), and replace lost volume in the face.

Results vary depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, but they generally last longer than Botox, ranging from 6 months to 2 years or more, depending on the filler.

Good candidates for aesthetic injectables generally include individuals who are looking to address specific concerns related to aging or facial features.

Here are some characteristics of a good candidate:

Desired Cosmetic Goals: They have specific concerns such as reducing wrinkles, enhancing facial contours, or adding volume to certain areas like lips or cheeks.

Healthy Adults: Candidates should generally be in good overall health, without any serious medical conditions that could complicate the procedure or affect healing.

Realistic Expectations: They understand the limitations and potential outcomes of injectable treatments and have realistic expectations about what can be achieved.

Non-Smokers: Smoking can negatively impact skin health and the results of injectable treatments. Non-smokers typically have better healing and results.

No Allergies: Candidates should not have allergies to the ingredients used in the injectable products, such as hyaluronic acid for fillers or botulinum toxin for Botox.

No Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: It's generally advised to avoid these treatments during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to potential risks.

Good Skin Elasticity: While injectables can improve the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss, they work best on skin that still has some degree of elasticity and firmness.

Consultation with a Qualified Provider: It's crucial to have a consultation with a qualified cosmetic practitioner who can assess your individual needs, discuss your goals, and determine if you're a suitable candidate for injectable treatments

Heck no!

My goal is to just enhance what you have!

I want people to look at you and think, “wow, it looks like you got some great sleep last night!” Not “oh man look at the work she’s had done.”

The thing I hear most from clients when I first meet them is that they don’t want to look like a housewife …Well guess what, I don’t either!

The best injectable is undetectable and I am never trying to completely change your face. You will always look like you, just refreshed!

The downtime after aesthetic injectable treatments such as Botox and fillers can vary depending on several factors, including the specific treatment received and individual healing processes.

Here's a general overview of what to expect:

Botox/Dysport:

Immediate Aftercare: After Botox injections, there's usually no downtime required. You can resume normal activities immediately, but it's recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and rubbing the treated area for at least 4 hours to avoid spreading the toxin.

Results: It can take up to 2 weeks to see the full effects of Botox/Dysport, and results generally last around 3 months.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers:

Immediate Aftercare: After filler injections, you can also resume normal activities right away. Some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is common and usually resolves within a few days.

Results: Results are immediate, although the full effect may take a few weeks to settle as any swelling subsides. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last from 6 months to 2 years or more.
