We carry Botox and Dysport.
-
Botox has been around the longest and is the most popular brand of Tox. It is composed of a unique protein responsible for its anti-wrinkle properties. Results are notable in 5-10 days, with full effect within 21 days.
Dysport is very similar to Botox but has a different protein attached to it. It can appear more potent due to its ability to disperse a broader range when injected. Results are noticeable in 3-7 days, with full effect in 14 days.
-
You may start to notice results within 3 to 7 days, with full results typically visible within 14-21 days after the treatment
-
The effects usually last between 3 -4 months. Over time, the muscle activity gradually returns, and the wrinkles may begin to reappear.
-
After the procedure, you may notice tiny raised red bumps at the injection sites. These will go away in 30 min- to 1 hour post-procedure. Bruising is rare, and if it does occur, is minimal.
-
The number of units required depends on factors such as the treated areas, your anatomy, and your preference for expressive movement. With these factors, your provider will determine the proper dosage for you.
-
Typically, one treatment is needed, but a touch-up may be required for new clients as the initial dosage is an estimate at best. If a touch-up is needed, up to 5 units are provided complimentary.
-
There is essentially no downtime with this procedure. Side effects can include swelling, redness, and slight bruising, which typically resolves within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage any temporary side effects and ensure a smooth recovery.
Pre & Post-Care: Tox
Pre-Care:
Please eat and stay hydrated: before your procedure. This will help to make your experience more comfortable.
Avoid makeup: Before getting injections, it is best to arrive at your appointment without makeup on and to avoid makeup for 12 hours after receiving injections. This helps to reduce the risk of infection.
Avoid caffeine: The day before and after injection can help reduce the risk of bruising.
Take arnica: This natural supplement treats bruising and swelling and can be found on Amazon or at your local drugstore. It can be taken 4-7 days before getting injections to reduce the risk of bruising. Note: if you have an allergy to arnica or your doctor contraindicates it, do not take it.
Post Care:
Avoid touching or massaging: the area for at least 8 to 12 hours post-injection. This will prevent the product from spreading to an unintended area.
Avoid exercise: 24 hours after getting injections; if you are on a strict exercise regimen, it is recommended to exercise before getting your Tox.
Avoid laying down: 4 hours after receiving injections; this helps to keep the product in the intended area of injection.
Avoid waxing and tight hats for 24 hours, as this can create pressure on the injection sites and increase the risk of the product spreading to unintended areas.
Avoid extreme heat and sun exposure for 24 hours to prevent swelling and inflammation.
Contact your provider if any abnormal symptoms occur after your treatment.
