FAQ

What's the downtime?

There is no downtime following botulinum treatments, however we do recommend avoiding pressure on treated areas for 3 days post-treatment to avoid shifting the treatment to adjacent areas. Occasionally, mild swelling, redness or bruising can occur following treatment - but this is not common.

How long does it take?

We allow 30 minutes for consultation and education, but the actual treatment process typically takes around 10 minutes.

Once I start getting this treatment, do I have to keep doing it?

No. You can stop whenever you like, with no negative effects. If you decide to stop having treatments, your muscles will return to normal and the lines being treated will gradually come back.
