Botox in Waxhaw

At Dogwood Face & Body, your comfort is our top priority. Thankfully, Botox is rarely painful. The needles used during treatment are small and feel like a slight pinch or tingling sensation at the site of injection.

These injections work from the inside out. They go below your skin’s surface, targeting the muscle activity that causes dynamic wrinkles (the ones that appear as a result of making facial expressions). Botox and Xeomin relax your muscles to smooth and prevent further wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.

Botox and Xeomin are very safe. They are both FDA approved treatments! Keep in mind that not every med spa is the same. You should always be sure you’re going to a practice that employs experienced, certified injectors. At Dogwood Face & Body, we take your safety seriously and follow exceptional safety standards to ensure your treatment goes smoothly. Additionally, our injectors have specialized training in injectables through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics.

The cost varies based on your personalized treatment plan, including the amount and number of injections you need, and how often you need them. We are also happy to go over financing options during your consultation. Be sure to check our specials and membership options to maximize your experience.

The list is long! These injectables can address:

• Crow’s feet
• 11’s
• Forehead wrinkles
• TMJ and jaw pain
• Thin lips
• Gummy smile
• Chin dimpling
• Platysmal bands
• Headaches and migraines
• Neck and shoulder pain.

Be sure to use our Treatment Planning Tool to find out if Botox is a good fit for you.

During your consultation, we’ll go over your treatment plan and tailor the process specific to your body, medical history, and your desired results. We will run a full examination to ensure the treatment will be right for you, as well as decide whether we’ll use Botox or Xeomin to tackle your concerns. We’ll also use this time to discuss the options available for financing your journey.

We are so excited to see you and want you to feel prepared before you visit us for Botox in Waxhaw! While we’ll go over your pre-care instructions in full at your consultation, a few pointers include:

• Avoid alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment. Alcohol may thin blood, which increases your risk of bruising.
• Avoid anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning medications, ideally for 2 weeks before treatment.
• Medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve,Vioxx, and other NSAIDs are all blood-thinning medications and supplements. This can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.

The longevity of results will vary depending on which brand we decide works best for you during your consultation. When it comes to Botox and Xeomin, results can typically last for 2 to 4 months.

We recommend visiting our office routinely to maintain your hard-earned results. We offer our clients fabulous membership packages, ensuring that you’re on the best path in your self-confidence journey.

One thing we love about Botox is that there’s zero downtime required after your treatment. That said, it’s still important to follow these tips to get the best results:

• Don’t touch your face for 4 hours after injections.
• Don’t lay down for 4 hours after injections.
• Don’t workout or break a sweat for 24 hours.
• No makeup for 24 hours, unless it’s brand new! Old makeup, which is loaded with bacteria, should not touch your fresh injection sites.

If you’re planning your Botox in Waxhaw visit around a big event, we recommend getting your injection 2 weeks prior. This will ensure that your results have fully kicked in, and any bruising that might have occurred has healed.
