How it Works

Duration:30 minutes

Anesthesia:Topical (e.g., Numbing Cream)

Pain Level:Mild

Techniques:Injection, Microneedling

Technique Notes:Multiple microdroplets of diluted botulinum toxin are injected very superficially (intradermally) across the treatment area using a very fine needle. This technique targets the dermis to affect skin glands and superficial muscle attachments, rather than deeper facial muscles.

Multiple Sessions:Yes

Session Notes:Visible results are typically achieved after a single session. To maintain the benefits, repeat treatments are generally recommended every 3-6 months, depending on individual response and desired outcome.

Post Treatment

Downtime:1 day

Post-care:Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to treated areas for at least 24 hours, and remain upright for four hours post-treatment. Refrain from strenuous exercise, excessive heat, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications for 24-48 hours to minimize bruising and ensure optimal results. Apply makeup gently after a few hours if the skin is not irritated, and always follow your provider's specific instructions.

Risks:Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, pinpoint bruising, tenderness, or small bumps at injection sites, which usually resolve within a few hours to a few days. Less common risks include headache, asymmetry, or unintended muscle weakness if the toxin spreads to deeper muscles (rare with proper superficial technique). Allergic reactions to botulinum toxin are very rare. There's a theoretical risk of temporary changes in skin sensation or dryness.
