Anti-Wrinkle Injections

How many units will I need?

The number of units needed will vary amongst individuals.  During your consultation we will go over your aesthetics goals and will assess other factors such as metabolism, muscle strength, and desired treatment areas.  

How long will it take before I see results?

Onset is neurotoxin dependent.  Some will start to see effects as early as 3 days, but full effects will be seen at 14 days.

How long will it last?

On average, results will last 3 to 4 months, with some variation person to person.  

What is the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all injectable forms of Botulinum Toxin A, but have unique properties.  Unlike Botox and Dysport, Xeomin lacks preservative proteins, reducing the risk of developing antibodies to the product. Dysport and Botox are very similar.  The main difference between Dysport and Botox is that Dysport has smaller protein molecules and is a more dilute formulation.   

VI Peel

Is the VI Peel painful?

Patients may feel a slight stinging sensation for a few seconds, which should shortly subside. The peel is applied topically, numbing of the skin takes place after the first pass.

How soon will I see results?

Within a week the peeling should subside revealing significant repair and glowing skin.

How often can I have a VI Peel treatment?

VI peels may be performed every 4 weeks until the desired results are achieved.

Microneedling

Does micro needling hurt?

No. Thanks to a topical anesthetic and the very small size of the needle used, the microneedling procedure is not painful.

How many sessions will I need?

Some patients with minor concerns will find 1 treatment is enough. However, most patients require a series of 4 treatments spaced a month apart.

What is the recovery time? 

Most people don’t require any downtime following a microneedling treatment.  Redness, minor swelling, and a “sunburnt” sensation are all the common reactions that will subside within 24 to 48 hours.
