These are treatments where medications (i.e. “Dysport”, “Botox”, etc.) are used to reduce the appearance of creases that have etched over time. These medications are injected into areas like the glabella, also known as the frown lines or “11’s - lines that appear between the brows when the eyebrows are furrowed.
The same types of medications are also used to control muscle overuse, leading to jaw clenching and headaches, and excessive sweating. Although it varies among individuals for many reasons, these aesthetic treatments typically kick in within 3-7 days of injection, and last between three and five months.
Downtime is minimal, though we do not recommend any strenuous activity for 24 hours post injection, lying down, or manipulation of the area post treatment.
Ask us about Microtox - a treatment that involves injection of multiple micro-droplets of diluted neuromodulator injected more superficially to areas like the face and neck, to decrease sweat and sebaceous gland activity. The goal is improved skin texture and sheen, achieved by targeting the superficial layer of muscles that find attachment to the deeper level of the dermis.
