I do it myself. Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean not looking like you.
It’s for you if…
- You notice lines on your forehead or between your brows even when your face is relaxed.
- You want to start taking care of them before they set in.
- You want to look rested without changing your features.
It’s not for you if…
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have a neuromuscular condition such as myasthenia gravis.
- You have an active infection in the treatment area.
The worst aesthetic decision is getting a treatment you didn’t need.

Questions
What is used?
Botulinum toxin, a prescription medicine that should only be applied by a doctor. At your consultation I explain how it works, its risks and whether it’s right for you.
Will my face look frozen?
No. The goal isn’t to stop you from making expressions; it’s to soften lines while you still look like yourself. The result depends on how, where and how much is used.
Does it hurt?
Very fine needles are used. Most patients describe it as a quick pinch.
Can I get it two days before an event?
I don’t recommend it. Full effect takes about 14 days, so plan 2 to 3 weeks ahead.
What happens if I stop?
The effect wears off gradually and your expression returns to how it was before. It doesn’t get worse.
