Frequently Asked Questions

You have to be at least 18 years old, however, there is no “magic” age to start botox or fillers. Once you see a fine line or wrinkle forming that won’t go away, that is usually a sign to start so it won’t get worse.

Botox injections are safe when performed by an experienced healthcare provider. It’s a purified protein used in small doses to help smooth fine lines/wrinkles and relax muscles.

Botox feel like a tiny pinch, pain level is 1/10.

If you start once you see a wrinkle, you will see results after your first treatment and will have to continue every 3-4 months. If you start when the wrinkle is really deep, it may take 2 or 3 cycles of Botox to see complete smoothness.

If you don’t like the results, the Botox gradually fades away in 3-4 months. Nothing bad will happen because you tried it.

My goal is always natural results with natural facial expression movement, no one should know you did it.

There is always a chance of a bruise and you can cover it up with concealer.

With Botox you would look like you have tiny mosquito bites for about 20 minutes or it could look like nothing! There is a risk of bruising and that would be sore for about 24-48 hours. With fillers, you could be a little pink/red at the injection site and possibly have a bruise. You could also feel tender at the injection site for 24-48 hours.

It’s best not to apply makeup until the next day to prevent infection.

Yes, BUT be in the shade for after 4 hours of your treatment and apply SPF every 2 hours every day!
