Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Botox and Xeomin?
Both are FDA-approved wrinkle relaxers. Xeomin contains no accessory proteins, making it ideal for sensitive users or those building resistance to Botox.
Is there downtime after treatment?
There’s no true downtime, though we recommend avoiding heat, exercise, and laying flat for the first few hours.
How long do results last?
Most clients enjoy results for 3–4 months. Regular treatments may extend longevity over time.
Who is a good candidate?
Anyone 21+ with mild to moderate dynamic wrinkles is a candidate. Preventative Botox is also popular with clients in their 20s–30s.
Can I combine Botox with other treatments?
Yes. We often pair Botox with microneedling, hydrafacials, and dermal fillers for full-face rejuvenation.
