What Are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are effective wrinkle relaxing treatments that help prevent and minimize fine lines and wrinkles by weakening the muscle underneath. These treatments can specifically target and soften the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, lines around the lips, and a gummy smile. Neurotoxins can also be used for an eyebrow lift or a lip flip.

FAQs

What can I expect at my first appointment?

Your injector will do a full assessment and discuss your areas of concern. Your provider will then develop a personalized treatment strategy aimed at achieving your objectives over several months or even up to a year, if necessary. It’s important to note that one syringe of filler equals 1/5 of a teaspoon, which means achieving complete correction might require more than one syringe. Rest assured, we will thoroughly review the total cost of the treatment with you before any injections are administered.

Does it hurt?

Dermal filler injections can vary widely from person to person, influenced by individual pain thresholds, and the area of the face being treated. To minimize discomfort, practitioners often use dermal fillers that contain a pre-mixed local anesthetic, like lidocaine, which helps to numb the treatment area as the filler is injected. Additionally, some clinics may apply a topical numbing cream to the area before the procedure begins, further reducing potential pain.

When will I see results?

You will see results immediately, but for the best results you’ll be able to see them two weeks after any swelling and bruising has resolved.

How long does filler last?

It depends on which filler you use, where it’s injected, and the patient. On average dermal filler last between 6-12 months.

Should I do anything specific post treatment?

It is important to ice the treated areas after your treatment to minimize swelling, bruising, and tenderness

Kybella For Under Chin Fat Reduction

What is Kybella?

KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® permanently destroys fat cells. Your body’s natural metabolism then processes the fat, clearing it from the treatment area. Once the fat cells are gone, you’re left with a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.

FAQs

How does Kybella work?

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, and once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. This results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, revealing an improved chin profile.

The most common side effects of Kybella include?

Swelling, tenderness, numbness, redness, and bruising.

How many treatments will I need?

Your provider will create a treatment plan based on your chin profile. You may need up to 6 treatments, preformed at monthly intervals.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients experience visible results after 2-4 treatments.
