Injections + Tox + BioStimulants

  • Neuromodulators

    Neurotoxins (Injectable toxins, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau & Daxxify) are injectable medications derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in tiny doses into targeted areas, it can block signals between nerves and muscles, causing the muscles to relax. The relaxation of muscles can help to ease wrinkles and prevent the development of wrinkles. When injected more superficially, neuromodulators can diminish redness, shrink pores and tighten skin.

    Daxxify is the newest available neuromodulator that can give patients twice as long when compared to their previous neuromodulator duration. Ask us about Daxxify at your next appointment or scheudle a consult to discuss more!

  • Kybella

    Kybella is the first treatment ever to be approved by the FDA to directly eliminate fat cells in the skin. Its main ingredient is deoxycholic acid. This acid exists naturally in our bodies to help break down the fat we eat. But now, aestheticians can use it to break down fat in specific areas of the body. Kybella is FDA approved to treat submental fullness (aka double chin) but is also utilized off label to treat areas of stubborn fat in other areas (like bra fat!).

    With Kybella treatment, the fat cells that are destroyed are gone forever! They are naturally eliminated from the body. Most clients require 2-4 treatment sessions for desired results.

  • Biostimulants

    Collagen is the natural component in our body that keeps our skin full of volume and looking young. But, as we age, our body produces less and less collagen. The result? Drab, wrinkly skin.

    Sculptra and Hyper-dilute Radiesse encourage your body to create its own collagen, giving natural-looking results that will have others thinking, ‘Wow, they look great!’ without being able to tell what you had ‘done’.

  • PRP/PRFM

    PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a natural treatment in which your blood is drawn, processed, and then re-injected into your body in specified areas. The process takes PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and adds a gel carrier to create the injectable PRF. It is known for it’s amazing healing properties, it’s ability to support cellular regeneration and collagen production in the skin.

FAQs for Neurotoxins

  • Avoid medications that inhibit clotting such as vitamin E, aspirin, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for seven days prior to treatment.

    Make sure you do not have any massage or facial treatments scheduled within 7 days after your appointment.

  • You will feel multiple small needle injections and a slight stinging sensation, which will last about 3-5 seconds. Minor bleeding is possible.

    • To stop any incidental bleeding from the injection, you may use a tissue and hand pressure. Duration of results vary from person to person. Average length of treatment results from Botox and Xeomin is 8-14 weeks. Average length of treatment results from Daxxify is 16-24 weeks.

    • Use a cold pack if needed for tenderness but be sure not to apply significant pressure as it can cause migration of the product. It is normal to see slow return of minor movement starting around 6-8 weeks after initial injection with Botox or Xeomin and around 12-16 weeks with Daxxify. Your muscles will continue to be weaker than prior to treatment but will slowly regain strength until you return to baseline.

    • Remain upright for 4-5 hours after treatment to help avoid toxin migration. Optimal timeframe for re-injection is every 12-16 weeks for Botox or Xeomin and every 24 weeks for Daxxify to prevent return to baseline & for continuing results.

    • You may use Acetaminophen (if no underlying medical condition or allergy) for mild discomfort or headache, which is common after treatment.

    • You may shower & do most regular activities immediately after treatment. Use gentle cleansers & avoid makeup for 12 hours

    • Avoid exposure to heat, saunas, hot tubs, and sunlight/tanning beds for 48 hours.

    • Avoid any facial treatments for 7-14 days post-procedure.

    • Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

    • Do NOT lay face down with pressure on the face (ex. massage cradle, child’s pose in yoga), rub or massage eyes or face, or put any pressure on face for at least 48 hours.

    • Bruising/swelling at the injection site may occur. Bumps & marks at the injection site are normal & should resolve in a few hours.

    It can take up to 2 weeks for the toxin to have full effect on nerves/muscles plus an additional 2 weeks after that for results to ‘settle’. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out, but it is highly recommended to wait until the 3-week mark to consider any touch-ups or reinjections.

    Upon initial onset of neuromodulator effects, facial heaviness can be common/normal and should subside as you get used to toxins (usually by the 4-week mark).

    • Duration of results vary from person to person. Average length of treatment results from Botox and Xeomin is 8-14 weeks. Average length of treatment results from Daxxify is 16-24 weeks.

    • It is normal to see slow return of minor movement starting around 6-8 weeks after initial injection with Botox or Xeomin and around 12-16 weeks with Daxxify. Your muscles will continue to be weaker than prior to treatment but will slowly regain strength until you return to baseline.

    • Optimal timeframe for re-injection is every 12-16 weeks for Botox or Xeomin and every 24 weeks for Daxxify to prevent return to baseline & for continuing results.
