WHAT IS BOTOX & FILLERS?

Welcome to our MedSpa's education section, where we provide comprehensive information about Botox, Dysport, and fillers. Our aim is to empower you with knowledge so that you can make informed decisions about the treatments we offer. Let's delve into the details:​

​

Botox and Dysport:

Botox and dysport are both cosmetic injectables that contain botulinum toxin type A. These treatments are primarily used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated look. Here are some key points to understand:

​

  1. How it works: Botox and Dysport work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for forming wrinkles. This relaxation smoothens the skin's surface and diminishes the appearance of lines caused by facial expressions.

  2. Treatment areas: These injectables are commonly used to target dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. They can also be used for other purposes, such as reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) or relieving migraines. 

  3. Procedure: During the treatment, a qualified medical professional will administer the injectable into specific muscle groups using a fine needle. The procedure is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and requires no downtime. 

  4. Results and Duration: Results typically become noticeable within a few days after treatment, with optimal results appearing in about one to two weeks. The effects of Botox and Dysport usually last for three to six months, after which follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the desired look. 

KEY BENEFITS:​

  • Dermal fillers plump up wrinkles and restore volume

  • Dermal fillers increase collagen and elastin production

  • Botox/Dysport temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face

  • Botox/Dysport can be used to target specific muscle groups in the face, such as the forehead, around the eyes (“crow's feet”), and between the eyebrows (“11's”)

  • Botox/Dysport treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye and other conditions. Botox shots also may help prevent migraine.

  • How does Morpheus 8 work?
    For a Morpheus8 treatment, microneedles create micro-injuries on targeted skin areas to stimulate collagen production for wrinkle reduction. Once the microneedles penetrate the skin, they emit heat from radiofrequency waves that penetrate deeper skin layers, resulting in a tightening of the underlying fat and skin.
  • When can I expect to see results?
    Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment
  • How should I prep for Morpheus 8?
    â–ª We advice to avoid skin irritation or intentional skin tanning. Sun-screen is advisable when outdoors during daylight hours. â–ª Discontinue any irritant topical agents for 2-3 days prior to treatment. â–ª Arrive for treatment with clean skin.

    Your practitioner will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results.
  • Does Morpheus 8 have side effects?
    Morpheus8 has minimal side effects. Most often, patients experience some redness, pinpoint bleeding, mild bruising, and swelling in the first 24 hours. Some patients have reported bumps or grid marks.
  • What kind of post procedure care is required?
    â–ª Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience erythema (redness) for 1-3 days, however for more aggressive treatments this may last longer. Slight to moderate edema (swelling) and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation are also common post treatment and may last 1-3 days. Skin may crust and peel for 2-7 days depending on treatment settings. â–ª Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a broad spectrum sunscreen everyday. â–ª Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation. â–ª The use of a zinc oxide sun block SPF 30+ at all times after 24-48 hours. â–ª There are no restrictions on bathing except to treat the skin gently, avoid scrubbing or trauma to the treated area. â–ª Multiple treatments over a period of several months may be required to achieve the desired response.
