SKN BAR RX IS HERE TO SERVE THE GREATER MILWAUKEE AREA AND GUIDE YOU THROUGH INJECTABLES, HOW THEY WORK AND HOW OUR TEAM OF MEDICAL AESTHETICIANS CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR SKINCARE GOALS WITH A TREATMENT PLAN. Wrinkle relaxers, or neuromadulators, is one of the most popular treatments in the cosmetic industry, yet there are still a lot of confusion and fear surrounding the subject. Here’s what you’ll want to know about BOTOX® Cosmetic.
BOTOX® Cosmetic targets the communication between the muscles and nerves that control frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. The repeated muscle movements from frowning, squinting, smiling, and raising the eyebrows over the years are the creators of these lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works to prevent these lines by temporarily reducing muscle movement. You will start to notice a visible smoothing of the lines in your brow, crow’s feet and forehead within a few days. By two weeks, you will have a full effect lasting up to four months. A two week follow up appointment should be scheduled after your initial treatment so that your nurse injector can evaluate your results (and listen to all of the excellent comments people are saying to you about how young you look!) Something so subtle will definitely be noticed.
WILL MY FACE LOOK OVERDONE OR UNNATURAL?
Hollywood and movies may have given a silly negative connotation to the use of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Rest assured you can trust BOTOX® Cosmetic to deliver subtle results when you receive treatment by a licensed, certified aesthetic injector who has studied facial anatomy and facial aging. You’ll look like yourself only with less lines. No one should be able to notice you’ve had Botox. “You look great, refreshed, not so tried looking, and you look less stressed,” are frequent comments that I hear as a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist.
DO I NEED TO BE OVER 40 TO START USING BOTOX® COSMETIC?
It’s not your age that determines when BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you. It’s the severity of your lines. There is a wide variance of age groups that receive BOTOX® Cosmetic at SKN BAR RX. Everyone’s lines form differently. Lines are influenced by a combination of factors such as cellular changes over time, collagen loss, genetic factors, and sun damage. When you decide that you would like to seek treatment for lines and wrinkles, a complimentary consultation will help determine what treatment is right for you.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES TREATMENT TAKE? WILL IT HURT?
The appointment for a smooth treatment at SKN BAR RX takes approximately 30 minutes. Your health history is reviewed, photos are taken, along with a thorough discussion of your goals, including a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas. A consenting process is completed. The injection process does not take long, and feels like a small pinch. Treatment requires minimal downtime and post care instructions will be sent to you prior to your appointment and reviewed again prior to the injection. Most people resume normal activity immediately.
HOW MANY INJECTIONS WILL I RECEIVE?
Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic is customized to your goals and needs. Using the smallest needle, these areas are injected in an individualized pattern and dose-specific to an area. Crow’s feet typically see 3 injections per side, Frown lines see 5 injections between your brows and 5 in the forehead.
WILL I SEE RESULTS QUICKLY? HOW LONG DO TREATMENT EFFECTS LAST?
You may begin to notice results within 48- 72 hours, with results lasting up to four months. Remember that results vary from patient to patient, and the complimentary two-week follow-up appointment helps to assess your results. To maintain optimal results, we recommend scheduling your next BOTOX® Cosmetics treatment in 3 months.
HOW CAN I SAVE ON BOTOX® COSMETIC?
Be aware of advertised “cheap” BOTOX® Cosmetic services – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Hotel, living room or drive-in is not where you want to receive treatment. Your cost includes the price of the product but, more importantly, the skill and expertise of the Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS) providing your treatment. The best way to save money on your treatments is to enroll in Allé®, the Allergan consumer loyalty program that helps you earn points for savings on future treatments. It’s easy and free!
Ultimately, it’s important to know that everyone’s Wrinkle Relaxer needs will be different depending on concerns and desired results. The best first step to take is to book a complimentary consultation with an Aesthetic Nurses Injector at SKN BAR RX who will provide you additional information and a treatment plan that is completely customized for you!
