Every appointment starts with a 15-minute consultation to understand your skin goals and make sure the treatment is personalized to you. Once you’re ready for Botox, your clinician will sterilize the area and use a pencil to determine the injection sites. Then, using a very thin needle, your clinician will inject tiny amounts of the neuromodulator to allow your facial muscles to relax. Two weeks after your appointment, we offer a complimentary follow-up appointment for any questions or touch-ups.

Results can last anywhere from 2 to 6 months. On average, they last between 3 and 4 months. The duration of your results depends on factors such as where the neuromodulator (or “wrinkle relaxer”) was injected, the dosage, and your body's own individual processes. Typically, results in the areas of your face that are thinner or that move most frequently will be the first to wear off, such as the corners of your eyes and lips. Results in the forehead and between the eyebrows typically last the longest.
No. How often you treat your wrinkles is completely up to you and your personal skin goals. When the wrinkle relaxers wear off, your face muscles will go back to making the same movement they did before, but your wrinkles won’t be any deeper than they were before treatment. In fact, your wrinkles will form more slowly than they would have otherwise. If you want to keep seeing the effects consistently, we recommend coming in for another treatment after 3 months. But many people choose to let their results wear off completely and then come in for another treatment when ready.
Your body metabolizes the Botox over 3-4 months and flushes it out of your system as muscle movement gradually returns.
After treatment, you should avoid lying down for 4 hours, and avoid exercising, drinking alcohol, and putting on makeup for 24 hours. You also shouldn’t get a facial for at least a week. Other than that, most people return to their everyday activities immediately.
Side effects tend to be mild and temporary. The injections, rather than the neuromodulator itself, cause most mild side effects. For example, a patient may occasionally bruise. If this happens, the bruising lasts about 1 week. After receiving injections, people have experienced swelling, redness, soreness, bruising, mild headache (uncommon), weakness in a neighboring muscle leading to a temporarily droopy brow or eyelid (rare), or signs and symptoms of botulism including problems breathing, swallowing, or speaking (very rare).
We recommend avoiding neuromodulator treatments during pregnancy and while nursing.

Yes, we do. Lips tend to lose volume naturally as we age, so a lip flip treatment can help restore fullness, define your upper lip, or improve a gummy smile. When getting a lip flip, your clinician will inject a neuromodulator into your upper lip, causing the muscles in the area to relax. This allows the lips to relax and curl outward, giving the appearance of a fuller, more defined shape. Unlike filler, the lip flip does not add volume.
