Botox (Botulinum Toxin)
-
Most people begin to notice changes in 1–2 days, with results building over the first week
-
For most cosmetic treatment areas, results are typically fully apparent by about 10–14 days.
-
For cosmetic areas like frown lines, typical duration is about 3–4 months, although it varies by metabolism and muscle strength
-
Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, soreness, or bruising at injection sites. Bruising, when it happens, often lasts about a week
-
Rare but serious complications can occur with any botulinum toxin product, including symptoms related to distant spread of toxin effects (e.g., swallowing or breathing difficulty). These events are uncommon in cosmetic dosing but are part of the FDA boxed warning.
-
Follow your post-treatment instructions. In general, patients are commonly advised to avoid rubbing the area and avoid strenuous activity for a short period—your aftercare will be tailored to the treatment areas and dosing.
Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid Fillers)
-
Hyaluronic acid fillers can support structural balance and softening in areas such as cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin, and jawline, depending on anatomy and goals.
-
The most concerning risk is unintentional injection into a blood vessel, which can cause reduced blood supply to tissue; rare reported complications include skin necrosis, vision problems including blindness, and stroke
-
Many common issues (swelling, bruising, tenderness) are temporary. For hyaluronic acid fillers, certain problems can sometimes be improved with hyaluronidase (an enzyme that dissolves HA filler), depending on the situation and timing.
-
Typical effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, and occasional lumpiness that often settles as swelling resolves.
SkinPen Microneedling
-
SkinPen microneedling is commonly used to support skin texture and tone—often discussed for fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, and overall skin quality, depending on baseline skin and goals.
-
Most patients look red/pink and feel “sunburned” for a short period. Downtime varies by depth and skin sensitivity; we’ll set expectations based on your plan.
-
SkinPen-specific aftercare commonly includes:
No sunscreen for the first 24 hours (so strict sun avoidance matters).
Minimize sun exposure for ~72 hours post-procedure.
Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
-
PRP is a concentration of your own platelets prepared from a small blood draw, used to support tissue signaling and healing responses. It’s commonly paired with microneedling for patients looking for a more intensive skin-quality approach.
-
PRP is autologous (from your own blood). That doesn’t mean “risk-free,” but it avoids introducing foreign filler material.
-
Most commonly: temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, and (rarely) infection risks inherent to any procedure that disrupts skin.
