Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most patients chose to receive neurotoxin (Botox/ Xeomin/Dysport) injections every three to four months.
Filler maintenance is typically done every 12-18 months and requires significantly less product than on your initial visit. The average cost for filler maintenance is between $815-$2,200 per year.
Every patient’s maintenance needs are slightly different. Your provider will work with you to determine what level of maintenance is best based on your anatomy and goals.
-
For botox, most patients experience little to no downtime and return to work the same or next day.
For filler, the most common side effects are minor swelling, bruising, and/or soreness. This can last between 2-10 days.
Filler is not a surgical procedure so you will not be down for an extended period of time (e.g. weeks on end).
Over the counter medications (Arnica, Tylenol, Advil, etc.) and icing can help reduce downtime, if any.
For patients who are prone to cold sole breakouts, we can prescribe antiviral medicines to minimize the risk of a breakout.
Tips to minimize the amount of downtime:
Avoid inadvertently pressing or rubbing the treatment area for at least 12 hours after injection.
Refrain from exercising for the remainder of the day after treatment.
Avoid other treatments such as facials, massage or chemical peels for two weeks.
Avoid sleeping on your side for the first 1-2 nights following your procedure.

Our philosophy is designed to keep you looking like the best version of yourself. We never make recommendations you do not need. “Less is More” does not always mean less syringes/product. It means skillfully and artfully placing the product in a way to make you look like the best version of yourself.

To achieve the most natural outcome, we recommend completing your treatment plan in 1-2 sessions at most. Splitting your treatment into 3+ sessions can lead to disharmonious and unsatisfactory outcomes where one feature of the face overpowers another. We want all of your features to be in harmony, and in the same decade, so you look like the best version of yourself.
