Botox, Dysport and Daxxify are in-office procedures that typically takes about 45 minutes to complete. Our nurse injectors will make a series of strategically placed toxin injections into your desired treated areas, typically around the forehead, eyes, brow, and the bridge of the nose. Because toxin is a minimally invasive treatment, there is no downtime or recovery period associated with treatment.

It is normal to experience some redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising around your treated areas. These side effects will typically subside on their own within 24 to 48 hours of treatment. While you may see some results of your Botox treatment immediately, ultimate results will take about four to seven days to be completely visible. Because Botox is a minimally invasive treatment, patients are able to return to their normal daily activities – including work – immediately following treatment.

Botox treatments typically last for three to four months at a time. Dr. Downey or Dr. Bullocks may recommend coming in for regular Botox® treatments every four months to maintain your desired results.

• Botox® was the first FDA approved neurotoxin for wrinkle reduction. It has a smaller spread of product, which means it’s more potent making it amazing for smaller areas. Botox® kicks in within 7-10 days of treatment, but final results are seen 14 days after. With the FDA approved dosing, Botox® can last up to 3-4 months.
• Dysport® has a larger spread of product, often reporting that the effects are more natural. It takes about 5 days to kick in, but final results are seen 14 days after. With the FDA approved dosing, Dysport® can last up to 3-4 months.
