Botox® and Dysport
Botox ® is a very popular minor cosmetic procedure that temporarily inhibits muscle contraction under the skin, thereby giving the skin a smoother appearance in the treated areas while reducing or eliminating wrinkles. The results start to become noticeable within 5 days, with full results within two weeks of the injection, and will typically last 3-4 months.
There are no special preparations required for a Botox ® injection, and as it is relatively painless, anesthesia usually is not necessary. Alexandra tailors Botox ® placement and dosing to the individual client, after discussion of areas of concern and goals, in order to ensure the best possible results.
Appointment Guidelines
Please try to come to your appointment with a clean, dry face.
If you have make-up or other products on, this is ok. We will wipe off the areas ahead of prepping the skin.
We will discuss the areas of aging that are of concern, how Botox can help, and establish realistic goals and expectations.
The skin will be cleaned and prepped with alcohol swabs, and the areas will be marked for injection. We will take time to discuss these areas, including appropriate dosing and how it works with the anatomy of the facial muscles. We will also
discuss the final amount of Botox planned for use and what this equates to for
the cost amount.
We will then begin injecting. There is minimal pain with Botox injections. Some areas can be a bit more sensitive.
Once injecting is completed, we will clean the skin again.
