Introduction

BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers

Are you interested in smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles without compromising the natural look and feel of your appearance without downtime? Over the course of time, repeated muscle contractions and facial movements can cause the formation of wrinkles and fine lines between the eyebrows. This can cause individuals to look constantly tired or worn out, and can even make them look older than they really are. At Skin Boutique in Royal Oak, MI, wrinkle relaxers such as BOTOX® and Dysport® can help our Metro Detroit clients smooth visible signs of aging and refresh their appearance in a quick, easy treatment that is easily fit into any busy schedule.

What are BOTOX & Dysport?

Learn about Wrinkle Relaxers

BOTOX and Dysport are non-surgical treatments that will soften and smooth moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead as well as crows feet around the eyes.  

We can also tighten the loose and crepey skin on the eyelids, cheeks, and neck utilizing our innovative Instatox™ method and can create an amazing jawline with our Skin Boutique favorite – the Nefertiti Neck Lift. Downturned or gummy smiles, bunny lines, brow lifts, pebbly chins, vertical lip lines, and bruxism/ teeth grinding can also be addressed with BOTOX and Dysport. We also utilize these treatments in other areas of the body, such as the underarms and palms of hands can also be treated to reduce sweating.

InstaTox: InstaTox is an innovative use for muscle relaxers such as Dysport and BOTOX that accelerates the effects of producing an instant tightening and lifting result. When injecting using this technique, the muscles respond immediately with a skin retraction which is similar to a ‘shrink wrap’ effect. The skin will subsequently appear to be tighter and more compressed which allows fine lines to dissipate.

InstaTox is a great way to treat the following conditions:

  • Eyelid Lifting
  • Under Eye Crepiness
  • Cheek Crepiness
  • Facial Tightening
  • Facial Flushing
  • Facial Sweating
  • Jaw Contouring
  • Neck Tightening
  • Décolletage Tightening

Nefertiti Neck Lift: With age, as the skin begins to lose its natural suppleness and plumpness, the muscles under the jaw tend to pull down the cheeks, leading to loss of jawline definition and flattened cheeks. As the same muscles that cause wrinkles also lead to loss of a defined jawline, anti-wrinkle treatments such as Dysport® and BOTOX® can be used to lift the neck and bring back the definition.

Just as Queen Nefertiti reigned over one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Nefertiti Lift is one of the medical wonders of modern times. True to its namesake, Skin Boutique’s Nefertiti Lift defines jawlines fit for a queen.

What are the first
steps of BOTOX?

First Steps

The first step in getting BOTOX in Royal Oak or Detroit is to schedule your consultation with a Cosmetic Injector Specialist at Skin Boutique. During your appointment, we will examine your skin, discuss your goals for the treatment, and which product would be best for you. We will ask you questions about your medical history to prevent any unnecessary risks. Once the Specialist takes in all of this information, and if you agree with it, our Patient Coordinator will help you schedule a day and time for your treatment.

If you would like to get your treatment performed on the same day as your consultation, we would be more than happy to do so, but we do ask that you follow these instructions before coming in:

  • Ingestion of alcoholic beverages before treatment can increase the chances of bruising and/or swelling.
  • No anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, etc.), aspirin, Vitamin E, or Ginko Biloba one week before treatment. This will reduce the possible side effects of bruising and/or swelling in the area(s) of treatment.
  • You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding to receive treatment

What to expect?

BOTOX-DYSPORT Expectations

 At the beginning of your appointment, your cosmetic injector will make sure you are comfortable and answers any questions you have about the procedure. Once you are ready, your injector makes several small injections of the Botox or Dysport solution into the target areas. Typically, this takes only 10-15 minutes. Many people worry that the injection will be painful, but our clients have described it as a small pinching sensation.

Recovery

BOTOX Recovery

After your treatment, you will be able to return about your day, but you may be a little swollen or reddened in the treated area for a few hours. Here are some additional things to keep in mind during your recovery:

  • Do not lie down or bend forward (no downward dogs!) for 2 to 4 hours following treatment.
  • Avoid manipulation of the treated area for a minimum of four hours.
  • By following the above measures you will minimize the occurrence of ptosis (droopy eyelids), bruising, and less-than-optimal outcomes.
  • Common side effects include a slight headache lasting a few hours up to 48 hours, and temporary bruising and/or swelling.
  • Treatment effect will take up to 14 days.
  • Please inform the office if the resolution of the lines has not taken effect in 14 days. Additional units of Dysport or Botox may be necessary to achieve the desired result.
  • Follow-up treatments should be scheduled before the return of full movement of muscle, usually at three months.
  • Consistently repeated treatments will produce the best resolution of wrinkles.

does BOTOX cost in Detroit?
