Botox and Filler
Botox and Filler are injectable treatments used to smooth out wrinkles, restore volume and enhance facial contours providing a more youthful appearance. These cosmetic services are popular because they are immediately effective, minimally invasive with little to no downtime, safe, and have a high satisfaction rating.
Neurotoxin
Neurotoxin, commonly referred to as Botox, is a popular, safe and effective non-surgical cosmetic treatment known for its ability to significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck, but that’s not all it can do.
Neurotoxin can also be used to treat migraine headaches, excessive sweating, jaw pain, and even slim the face and nose. Neurotoxin is an injectable treatment that works by weakening the muscles that cause the skin to look wrinkled and folded, and the result is smooth, youthful appearing skin. Neurotoxin is the most popular cosmetic treatment because:
It provides consistent, reliable results
It is safe and effective
It is a quick, well-tolerated procedure
Results are seen in a few days and last several months
It requires no downtime
It is cost effective

Mild Swelling at Injection Sites - This typically only lasts about 15 minutes and it is expected that you will look normal before you reach your next destination.

Overall, all of the initial side effects are mild and short-lived. Two week follow ups are highly encouraged to ensure that optimal outcomes have been achieved during the treatment.

Filler
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are made of hyaluronic acid, this is found naturally in our bodies and helps keep the skin hydrated, supple, and lifted.
Fillers may be injected beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and naturally enhance facial features! They can also be used to define and shape parts of the face, like the lips, cheeks, chin or jawline.
The effects are usually noticeable right after the treatment and can last from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler and the area treated. It’s a quick, minimally invasive option for those looking to refresh their appearance without surgery.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You’ll see an instant plumping effect right after the treatment! It’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness, and sometimes bruising around the injection sites. This usually subsides within a few days, but it can last up to 14 days in some cases. The treated areas might also feel a bit tender or sensitive. This is temporary and will improve within a few days. Sometimes, you might feel tiny bumps or see slight unevenness right after the treatment. This typically smooths out on its own during the two week healing process.
Depending on the type of filler used, the effects can last from six months to two years. Your provider will likely recommend follow-up treatments to maintain the desired look.

Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable that stimulates collagen production in the skin, but unlike traditional fillers that add immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually to restore facial volume and smooth out wrinkles by encouraging the body to produce type 1 collagen on its own.
And Sculptra isn't just for the face! Sculptra can be used in different body areas such as the neck, arms, legs and booty to restore lost volume and smooth wrinkled, aging skin.
Sculptra is often used to address areas of facial volume loss, such as sunken cheeks, hollow temples, and deeper nasolabial folds. Because it works by stimulating collagen, the results are gradual and can last up to two years or more, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more natural and long-lasting effect. Multiple treatment sessions, spaced 6-10 weeks apart, are typically recommended to achieve optimal results.
