NEUROTOXIN
PROCEDURE
Tiny doses of Neurotoxin are injected into the skin where wrinkles are noticeable. It is normally done in the doctor’s office and the procedure can last from 15 – 30 minutes. The number of injections and dose amounts administered varies by patient depending on the severity of wrinkles. The areas that will be injected are marked so that in order to accurately inject the appropriate treatment areas. This procedure does not create any discomfort other than a normal prick that comes with a small needle. Patients will be able to go home right after treatment with no downtime from their normal routine.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Clients are advised to avoid medications like Ibuprofen, Aleve & Aspirin for 1 week prior to the procedure. After treatment, mild redness and swelling may appear on the injection spots. Clients are advised to avoid massaging the injection sites, avoid exercise and to remain upright for 4 hours after the procedure. The redness and swelling will only last for a few hours, but some patients may experience bruising for several days. There are bruising medications, such as Arnica, that patients can take a week prior to treatment to help minimize bruising. The results from a Neurotoxin treatment should be noticeable in 2 to 3 days after the procedure. When they do, the face will look smoother and brighter, and patients will feel rejuvenated by their fresh appearance.
