For Botox or Dysport touch ups, these are performed between 2-3 weeks post initial treatment. This is highly encouraged after the first treatment as I am getting to know your face. If additional units are needed $20 will be taken off of the treatment price.
For facial filler treatments we do not offer touch ups. Most times 2 or more syringes are needed on the face to achieve provider and client satisfaction. Lip filler touch ups are offered for $250 but are only completed after the filler in the lips has healed from initial treatment.

Short answer, no. If you are prone to cold sores please call the office and a prescription for an antiviral will be provided to you to help prevent a cold sore from occurring. If you have an active outbreak of a cold sore it is best to let the area heal and then treat at a later date. Cold sores do not prevent patients from getting fillers but extra precautions must be taken to ensure your health and safety.

Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that act by inhibiting the movement of certain muslces in the face which then help diminish the wrinkle or prevent the wrinkles from occurring. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a gel substance that are placed below the muscle/tissue onto the bone and help to replace volume that is lost over time.

Yes! Botox was first FDA approved in 1989, has 11 therapeutic indications and 3 (soon to be 4) cosmetic indications. In order to have an official indication this product had to undergo numerous clinical trials to ensure safety. This means that Botox is extremely well researched! Many patients are concerned about Botox being Botulism, however, Botox is only a purified protein, not a bacteria that could cause harm. As a consumer you have every right to ask where and when the Botox or Dysport on hand was purchased.
