Is Botox safe for all skin types? Yes, when done by a trained professional, it’s safe for all skin tones and types.
How does Botox differ from dermal fillers? Botox relaxes muscles to smooth out lines, while fillers add volume where it’s been lost, like in the cheeks or lips.
Can Botox be combined with other treatments? Definitely, a lot of people mix Botox with things like fillers or facials for a more complete look.
What are the potential side effects of Botox? Sometimes there’s a little redness or swelling where you were injected, but it goes away fast. Serious side effects are rare.
Is preventative Botox effective in reducing future wrinkles? Yes, it can help keep deep lines from forming if you start early and keep up with treatments.
What does a neurotoxin injection feel like? Botox, Dysport and Daxxify are in-office procedures that typically takes about 45 minutes to complete. Our nurse injectors will make a series of strategically placed toxin injections into your desired treated areas, typically around the forehead, eyes, brow, and the bridge of the nose. Because toxin is a minimally invasive treatment, there is no downtime or recovery period associated with treatment.
What results can I expect from Botox? It is normal to experience some redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising around your treated areas. These side effects will typically subside on their own within 24 to 48 hours of treatment. While you may see some results of your Botox treatment immediately, ultimate results will take about four to seven days to be completely visible. Because Botox is a minimally invasive treatment, patients are able to return to their normal daily activities – including work – immediately following treatment. Botox treatments typically last for three to four months at a time. Dr. Downey or Dr. Bullocks may recommend coming in for regular Botox® treatments every four months to maintain your desired results.

What is the difference between Botox, Dysport and Daxxify? Botox® was the first FDA approved neurotoxin for wrinkle reduction. It has a smaller spread of product, which means it’s more potent making it amazing for smaller areas. Botox® kicks in within 7-10 days of treatment, but final results are seen 14 days after. With the FDA approved dosing, Botox® can last up to 3-4 months. Dysport® has a larger spread of product, often reporting that the effects are more natural. It takes about 5 days to kick in, but final results are seen 14 days after. With the FDA approved dosing, Dysport® can last up to 3-4 months. Daxxify® is the newest neurotoxin out in the market. Studies have shown that it is a faster-acting and longer-lasting botox alternative. Daxxify® is the only neurotoxin powered by peptides making it kick in quicker and last at least 4-8 weeks longer than other FDA approved neuromodulators. It has even been reported to improve skin quality.
