Botox/Dysport

Botox and Dysport are both used to treat and prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and deep facial furrows. By working beneath the surface, Botox and Dysport help reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes the skin to appear wrinkled or folded.

Dysport is very similar to Botox – same price, same duration, but kicks in a little quicker.

Full results will be seen in 2 weeks.

Results from Botox and Dysport are not permanent. Effects usually last about 3-4 months.

Botox and Dysport will only need one single treatment to show results. However, results last about 3-4 months, therefore treatments can continue upon this timeline for as long as the patient desires.

Bruising is possible, plan 2 weeks ahead of any events/vacations.

Botox is made of a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The toxin is purified and diluted before it is used for cosmetic purposes.

Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. When Botox is injected into the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles, it relaxes these muscles and smooths out the overlying skin. This results in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Botox can be used to treat a variety of areas on the face, including:

• Forehead wrinkles
• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines on the nose
• Neck bands

Botox can also treat medical conditions such as migraines and excessive sweating.

Botox is generally considered safe when administered by a licensed and trained practitioner. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks and potential side effects. Discussing your medical history and any concerns with your practitioner before undergoing Botox treatment is essential.

Botox has not been extensively studied in pregnant or breastfeeding women, so it is generally not recommended for these individuals. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discussing your options with your healthcare provider is essential.

Like any medical procedure, Botox can have side effects. Some common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and pain at the injection site. More serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, may occur in rare cases. It is essential to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with your practitioner before undergoing Botox treatment.

Botox is a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful appearance. Some of the benefits of Botox treatment include:

• Reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: Botox is particularly effective in reducing dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet, caused by repeated muscle contractions. By relaxing these muscles, Botox can smooth out these wrinkles and give the skin a youthful appearance.
• A more youthful and refreshed appearance: Botox can help to enhance the overall appearance of the face, giving it a more youthful and refreshed look. It can also help to improve the symmetry of the face and enhance facial features.
• Non-surgical and minimally invasive: Botox is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment. This means that it does not require incisions or downtime, making it a convenient and popular option for individuals who want to improve their appearance without surgery.
• Quick and convenient procedure with minimal downtime: Botox treatment usually takes a few minutes and requires no downtime so that clients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
• Results that can last up to four months: Botox results can last up to four months, depending on the individual and the area treated. This means that clients can enjoy the benefits of the treatment for several months before needing to undergo another session.

• Aftercare: Following the injection, you will be advised to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for several hours to allow the solution to settle fully. You may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but this is normal and should subside within a few days.

After Botox treatment at House of Beauty Med Spa, it’s essential to take proper care of the treated area to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects. Here’s what you can expect during aftercare and recovery:

• Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area: This prevents the solution from spreading to unintended areas and allows it to settle fully into the targeted muscles
• Stay upright: For at least 4 hours after the procedure, it’s recommended to remain upright and avoid lying down or bending over. This can help prevent the solution from spreading to unintended areas.
• Avoid strenuous activity: For at least 24 hours after the procedure, you should avoid any strenuous activity or exercise that may increase blood flow to the treated area. This can help reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
• Be patient: It typically takes two weeks for the Botox solution to take effect, so be patient and avoid making any judgments about the results until this time has passed.
• Attend follow-up appointments: Your medical professional at House of Beauty Medspa may recommend follow-up appointments to ensure that you are satisfied with the results and to make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Botox and fillers are used to address signs of aging, but they work in different ways. Botox is typically used to treat dynamic wrinkles, while fillers address static wrinkles and volume loss. Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles, while fillers are injectable substances that add volume to areas that have lost volume due to aging.

Botox injections are generally not painful, but some individuals may experience mild discomfort or a pinching sensation during the procedure. Your practitioner can provide a topical numbing cream or ice pack to help alleviate any discomfort.

The cost of Botox treatment can vary depending on the practitioner, location, and the number of units of Botox needed for treatment. Discussing the cost of treatment with your practitioner during your consultation is important.

The frequency of Botox treatments varies depending on the individual and the area being treated. Generally, Botox treatments are needed every 3-4 months to maintain results.
