What is the downtime for Botox/Dysport?

Botox/Dysport is often referred to as a “lunch hour procedure” meaning there is little to no downtime. Bruising is possible with any facial injections, however bruising with Botox/Dysport is rare. Results begin to appear within 2-5 days and will be fully kicked in by 12 days post treatment. 

What is the downtime for Filler?

Volume containing hyaluronic acid is injected into the lips to add height and hydration to the lips and correct asymmetry. Using filler, the shape of the lips can be optimized to flatter the patient’s features. We always perform a thorough consultation included with your appointment so we can meet your custom goals. Lip flip can be added on for $40. Available as half or full syringe. Lip filler lasts on average 1-2 years.
