Discomfort

You will likely experience some mild discomfort. The stinging sensation is brief and quickly subsides.
​
Flexibility
​​
Time and amount of injections / cost will vary for each client and each session. Procedure plans are specific.
After
Bruising, swelling
​
Neurotoxin injections, while done expertly with very small needles, can cause some swelling and bruising at injection sites. Each person may have a different reaction to the microtrauma of the skin. But, the discoloration is short lived.
​
Headaches
​
Some clients may experience headaches as the muscles react to the relaxion of the toxin.
​
Rest
​
Don't exercise or massage your face for 24 hours after the injection. Also, remain upright for four hours after the procedure. This helps to prevent the migration of the neurotoxin from the precise area of placement to undesired areas.
​
Patience
​
Skin smoothing usually takes 2-3 days to begin and peaks at 2-3 weeks. Results last 3-4 months. Retreatment at regular intervals will be necessary to maintain the pleasing results. Effects will vary from one individual to another. Males may need higher doses to achieve the same desired result. ​​​​​​
