FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is BOTOX® or Dysport®
Treatment with any neuromodulators are a simple nonsurgical procedure used to reduce lines and wrinkles in the brow area, frown lines, and crow’s feet. One ten minute treatment--a few tiny injections--relaxes the muscles that cause these deep lines. Botox® can also be used for facial slimming & TMJ (masetter), neck band muscles, bunny lines, lip lift, lip lines, gummy smiles, marionette lines and to reduce underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis), but see our webpage on MiraDry as a better option for long term reduction for underarm hyperhidrosis.
What are Dermal fillers (Restylane &Juvederm)?
Dermal "fillers" are crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin, typical results last 9-12 months. Botox is typically used for the upper 1/3 of the face ”The eyes and above” whereas fillers tend to be used for the midface and lower parts of the face.
Juvederm Voluma is a newer Hyaluronic acid filler used specifically for cheek augmentation. This can help with volume loss in the cheek and midface area for a more youthful appearance. Results are immediate and last 2 years* individual results may vary. Click here for more info on Fillers.
In most individuals, all neuromodulators will last 31/2 to 41/2 months depending on treated area, in some individuals it may last longer. Its effects may be seen as early as two days after injection. After receiving repeated treatments the effects usually last longer--in some cases, six months and longer between repeated treatments.
Side effects are rare, but the most common include bruising and temporary headache. A very small percentage of individuals may develop a ptosis (eyelid drooping), but this is temporary and amendable with prescription eye drops.
Discomfort is minimal. Once the injection is completed, there is usually no discomfort.
The only true contraindications are current pregnancy/lactating, a history of neuromuscular disease (myasthenia gravis), or active skin infection in the treatment area.
What areas are do neurotoxins (Botox & Dysport) treat and associated costs?
The three most common areas are 1) frown lines, 2) forehead (brow) lines, and 3 ) Crow's feet. (pictured below).
Treatments are priced "by area" or by units and range as follows:
Preventative price $450 for all (3) areas-90 units
(11’s, forehead & Crows feet)
1 area=$285-$375
2 areas= $525-625
All 3 areas =$675-750
$5.25 per unit of Dysport
Prices per area are not "set in stone", some people choose to do all 3 areas for the cost of 2 areas which is frequently done, but we will use the same amount of botox for 2 areas and spread it over 3 areas. In most cases you are paying "per unit", but because many people do not know how many units are needed, it is easier to delineate by treatment areas.
Some people may choose to have a "less frozen look " or " more movement ". This can be accomplished with injecting less units and/or more dilute Botox, which you will pay less for than The listed prices. Think of a “unit” of Botox as a grain of sugar. If you require more sugar for sweeter coffee, this will have an added cost but if you prefer weaker coffee, then less sugar (units) are used and therefore less expensive. Treatment Area prices are “average” requirements for individual treatments. Botox can also be used in other areas such as the masseter muscle (TMJ), neck (platysma muscle), lip lines, lip lift, gummy smile, bunny lines (bridge of nose), underarms to limit sweating & Trap muscle (aka Barbie botox).
