Frequently asked questions.

WHAT cause fine lines and wrinkles?

Fine lines and wrinkles happen naturally as we age, this happens because of skin becoming thinner and less elastic. However, many things can speed up this process like exposure to UV lights and over contracted muscles.

WHAT is botox?

Keeping the statement above in mind, Botox causes muscles to contract temporarily. So when Botox is injected properly, it results in smoother and more youthful appearing skin.

What are dermal fillers?

While Botox contracts muscles to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers fill areas that thin due to aging. This filling helps the skin look plumper and more full.

How long does a treatment take?

The longest process will be the consultation, to ensure you are getting exactly what you desire as well as exploring possibilities how to achieve those desires. Leah takes her time so you get the best quality of service as well as the best results.

Botox and dermal filler injections are very thin, no sedation or local anesthetic is necessary. Comfort is enhanced by applying a topical anesthetic a few minutes before the treatment.


How long do they last?

Botox injections typically take seven days to show full results and last from three to six months. You can receive injections every three months.

Dermal fillers, depending on the type used, results from dermal fillers can last from six months to two years.

*Individual Results May Vary


WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE?

Normal daily activities can be resumed immediately after injections as long as an upright position is maintained. However, you should not workout for 4 to 5 hours after your treatment. External pressure should not be applied to the area treated for about four or five hours as well. You may notice some bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness around the injection site, but it should take maxium 7 days to clear up.
