Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Botox? What is Dysport?
A: Both Botox and Dysport work to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles. When injected into the facial muscles, your face will appear smoother, less wrinkled, and more youthful.
Q: What are dermal fillers?
A: Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance that hydrates, plumps, and softens the face. These can be used to replace volume in the face; as we age, we lose volume in the face, often making us look older. Dermal fillers help to fill in this volume, creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Q: When will I see results from Botox or Dysport?
A: Results could begin to show at 3 days after treatment, however it takes about 2 weeks to see the full effect of wrinkle relaxers.
Q: When will I see results from my filler?
A: Results will be visible immediately. Most people experience swelling and may experience some redness or bruising immediately after the treatment. However, it will take about 2 weeks to see the final result.
Q: What is the recovery time for Botox?
A: There is no recovery time. Other than very small injection-site marks, no one will know you've had a treatment. Many clients have this done on their lunch break and return to work immediately afterward.
Q: What is the recovery time for fillers?
A: Most people appear swollen and/or bruised after filler treatment. This will improve over the next 3-7 days, depending on the area that was injected and the amount of filler injected. The filler will then settle, taking about 2 weeks before the final results show. We recommend scheduling filler several weeks prior to a big event.
