Botox®/Dysport

Worry lines, crow’s feet, frown lines and neck bands are no challenge to Botox or Dysport injections. In just a few minutes, these facial paralytics can temporarily weaken facial muscles beneath the wrinkled area to relax the skin and restore its youthful appearance.

The full effects of Botox® takes about 10 days, but you will see see the results gradually kick in throughout the week.

Dysport

Dysport is an alternative to Botox and was approved by the FDA in the United States in 2009. The differences between the two paralytics are minor. Prior to its US introduction, Dysport was used throughout Europe since the early 90s, with over 2 million users. The effects of Dysport have been reported to appear faster and last longer than its competition. Feel free to discuss the options with your practitioner to decide which is right for you.

Hyperhydrosis

If you are suffering from hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) we offer Dysport or Botox treatments to help manage the problem and dramatically decrease underarm moisture for up to a full year.

Before & After Your Treatment

Prevent possible bruising or swelling by taking care to avoid anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vioxx, etc.), aspirin, Vitamin E, or Ginko Biloba one week prior to treatment.

The ingestion of alcoholic beverages prior to treatment can increase the chances of bruising.

If you tend to bruise easily, Nurse Jamie recommends you take the homeopathic remedy arnica, which is available at most natural food and drug stores. It is available in oral form prior to your treatment and may be applied topically after.

Please bring support hosiery to wear home from your appointment to "compress" the treated vessels.  Please wear them for three days following treatment. Nurse Jamie recommends cutting the feet off of regular drug store support hose for comfort.  Full effects of sclerotherapy usually take effect within 3 - 6 weeks.
