Botox Before And After New Orleans
Will Botox help bags under my eyes?
No, Botox improves crow’s feet from muscle movement. Peels and lasers help with crow’s feet from sun damage. It usually takes surgery to improve bags under the eyes.
Will Massage 2 Hours After Treatment Affect Botox?
It is feared that massage soon after Botox will move it to areas that were not intended to be treated, resulting in drooping brows, mouth, eyelids, etc. don’t take the chance. Avoid massage, crying, and inversions for several hours post-injection.
How do you know if you are getting what you paid for when the doctor injects Dysport or Botox?
Dysport and Botox are FDA approved neuromodulators that improve wrinkles from the movement of certain muscles. They are currently FDA approved only for frown lines (I am part of the FDA study to evaluate botox for crow’s feet so the company can promote this now “off label” use of this drug). But remember, you are not just paying for Botox or Dysport. You are paying for the skill and experience of the physician, the final result, and the overall experience of the treatment. Prices can vary widely over the US. The average is about $15.00 per unit to account for the doctor’s overhead and training. One thing is for sure, reputable doctors will always tell you how many units you did receive so there is no mystery. Cheap injections should raise the red flag that the doctor is using over-diluted products or illegally imported neurotoxin. Those counterfeit products can kill people!
How Soon After Botox is It Ok to Get Brows Waxed?
I would avoid waxing the same day the Botox is injected. The rubbing on of the hot wax, the heat of the wax and the subsequent swelling could result in the Botox drifting into an unwanted area. Always remember that products such as Retin A make the skin sensitive and will be at risk for tissue damage and a burn with pigment change.
