FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We offer three FDA-approved neurotoxins: Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify. All three work by relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, helping to smooth fine lines. While they all have the same core function, they differ slightly in how quickly they work and how long results last.
Botox is the most well-known, Jeuveau is a newer option, and Daxxify is known for its longer-lasting results. Your provider will help you choose the best option based on your goals and lifestyle.

Mild swelling and bruising can occur for a few days, but most clients return to normal activities right away!
-
You will begin to notice results in 3-5 days, with full effects visible around two weeks post-treatment.
However, this can vary slightly depending on the type of neurotoxin used. It’s important to be patient & allow the product to fully settle. We recommend waiting at least two full weeks before scheduling any touch-up or follow-up appointments!

Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles from facial expressions—like frowning or squinting—making it great for smoothing forehead lines or crow’s feet.
Filler, on the other hand, adds volume to areas that have lost fullness or need a little plumping, such as the lips, cheeks, or smile lines.
In short, Botox reduces movement to prevent and soften wrinkles, while filler restores volume for a more youthful, contoured look.

IPL helps reduce sun damage, brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. It’s great for overall skin rejuvenation.
Most clients see the best results after a series of 3–5 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart.

You can use a cold compress to help reduce swelling, but be gentle and avoid applying pressure. Try to stay upright for at least 4 hours and avoid touching or massaging your lips unless directed by your provider.
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid intense workouts, alcohol, hot environments like saunas, and drinking from straws. Skip lipstick or makeup around the area for at least a day. Swelling usually peaks within the first two days and then subsides, with final results appearing in about 1–2 weeks.
-
After Botox, avoid lying down for 4 hours and don’t rub, massage, or apply pressure to the treated areas. It’s best to avoid wearing hats or headbands that press on your forehead. For the next 24 hours, skip strenuous exercise, alcohol, and heat exposure like saunas or hot yoga.
You should also avoid facials or skin treatments for a day. Be gentle when washing your face and applying skincare.

You may be a great candidate for Masseter Botox if you struggle with jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), TMJ discomfort, or if you’re looking to slim the lower face for a more contoured jawline.
This treatment relaxes the masseter muscles—the ones at the back of your jaw—helping relieve tension and reduce bulk in that area. During your consultation, your provider will assess your jaw structure, symptoms, and goals to determine if Masseter Botox is right for you.
