injectables

Botox and HA / consultation is required before any injectable treatment.

How does Botox work?

Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in Botox and Xeomin® – acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Botox and Xeomin® can temporarily reduce the lines between your eyebrows.

Should I avoid anything

before my Botox appointment?

Do not drink alcohol 5 days before your appointment. This can increase your chances of bruising. Avoid taking Anti-inflammatory medications during the week before your appointment to avoid bruising. For those patients taking anti-inflammatory on a regular basis please let us know on the intake form to plan your care accordingly.

skinpen

We use the SkinPen device that creates micro-injuries in the skin with tiny sterilized needles to stimulate the skin's natural wound healing response. This activates collagen and elastin production and regenerates the skin. Before the treatment a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort.

Microneedling procedures allow for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating micro-“injuries” in the skin, which triggers new collagen synthesis. The result is smoother, younger-looking skin.

Microneedling procedures are performed in a safe and precise manner with the use of the sterile needle head.
