3. Is Botox safe?

Yes, Botox is FDA-approved and has been safely used for both cosmetic and medical purposes for over 20 years. It works by temporarily relaxing muscles to smooth out wrinkles. Our licensed practitioner is highly trained and will ensure the procedure is done safely and effectively.

As always, I recommend (you), as the client look into your injector/aesthetic providers credentials and ensure they are licensed and qualified!

4. How long do Botox and Fillers last?

Botox typically lasts between 3-6 months, depending on your individual response and the type of botulinum toxin used- at Renatus we currently use Xeomin.
Dermal Fillers generally last between 6-18 months, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated.

Maintenance treatments are recommended to keep your results looking fresh.

5. Will there be any downtime after my treatment?

Most treatments at our med spa require little to no downtime. For example:

Botox: You can return to you daily activities post 4 hours, at the earliest; for botulinum toxin to effectively work, it is best not to touch the treated area or pursue any heat inducing activities.
Laser Treatments: Some redness and swelling may occur but generally subside within a few hours.
Microneedling: You may experience some redness similar to a mild sunburn, which should fade within 1-2 days.

Your provider will go over any aftercare instructions specific to your treatment.

- If on any blood thinners such as Eliquis, Xarelto, Plavix, Pradaxa, Coumadin, please do not hold these medications, there is a slight chance of bleeding however stopping these outway risk of stopping
- We can always review these medications prior to treatment, if there is a concern.

It is best to avoid direct sun exposure for 1-2 weeks prior to any treatment with the exception of fillers.
For laser treatments, you should avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for 2-4 weeks prior.
