Twenty years ago, a face lift was the only way to get rid of
wrinkly, sagging skin. Today, thanks to the invention of Botox
therapy, dermal fillers, and skin rejuvenation techniques, there
is a much less painful and time-consuming way to give you the
results you desire. All of these procedures can take years off
the face – and can be done during your lunch hour, with no
invasive surgery and little recovery time.
BOTOX THERAPY
Description of the treatment:
Botox /Dysport is a natural purified protein that temporarily
relaxes the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It is most
commonly used to soften frown lines, crow’s feet and
forehead lines and prevent them from deepening. Both men
and women benefit from this safe and effective treatment.
When administered by an experienced practitioner, you will
retain natural expression, without risk of that “frozen” look.
Procedure:
After consent and education, the actual treatment is relatively
quick – around 10 minutes. There is no downtime at all.
Tiny doses are injected into the area being treated. There is
minimal pain, with most clients experiencing a stinging that
passes immediately.
Outcome:
It takes three to four days to see results, with the full effects
appearing after 14 days. You will still have positive facial
expression and will look generally refreshed with softening of
wrinkles and lines in the treated area. On average, lasts
four months.
Cost:
Face Value charges $18/unit of Botox, $6 for Dysport, with
the average cost of the frown area $360.
