Before procedure: 

We start with a personalized consult so we can create a treatment plan together. Your concerns will be addressed, and we will review your medical history, and expectations of the treatment. Pricing will be discussed together after a treatment plan has been discussed. 

Your “Before Photos” will then be taken, with consent of course. During this time, I’ll ask you to make certain facial expressions to work the facial muscles giving you wrinkles. 

Your face will be cleaned with alcohol. Some temporary markings will be made on your face so precise injections can be delivered. 

Pre-treatment: 

• Avoid any alcohol for at least 24 hours before appointment 
• Avoid anti-inflammatory medications, Aspirin at least 24 hours before treatment 

During procedure: 

The treatment area is numbed with ice before fine needles are injected into the relevant active muscles. You will feel a small prick.  If there is any bleeding, the treated area will be iced to avoid bruising. The actual injection procedure is very quick! 

After procedure: 

• Avoid squeezing or massaging treated areas for at least 12 hours
  • This could subtly change the results 
• Do not exercise, use the sauna hot tub or be directly under the sun for at least 6 hours after treatment
  • Facial flushing can cause dilation of blood vessels. The concern is that the neuromodulators injected may diffuse to other groups of muscles and cause complications 
• Avoid lying down for at least 4 hours after treatment 
  • This is to prevent neuromodulators from diffusing to other areas of treatment, most concerning the muscles around the eyes to cause droopy eyelids
