Follow Up
$0.0Follow up appointments always recommend but not necessary. We recommend a follow up of 2-3 weeks after most neurotoxin or filler appointment.
Daxxify/Botox/Dysport
$100.0Botox, Daxxify or Dysport are a popular cosmetic treatment that involve the injection of a purified neurotoxin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These neurotoxins temporarily relax the muscles responsible for causing dynamic wrinkles, such as those in the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. This leads to a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime, making it an attractive option for those seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Additionally, Botox has been found to provide relief for certain medical conditions, such as migraines, excessive sweating, and TMJ. I will guide you on which neurotoxin is right for you. Because every patient is different, the quantity of units needed and the duration of your results will vary. AVERAGE DURATION: 3-6 months. PRICE: $14/unit (40 unit minimum per appt) $13/unit (100 unit minimum per appt)
