Questions we answer every day

Botox or Dysport are both neurotoxins and most commonly treat:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (11s between brows)
• Crow's feet (around eyes)
• Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
• Lip flips
• Chin dimpling
• TMJ — jaw clenching
• Neck bands
• Trap box (barbie box)
• Armpits — sweating

Your provider will assess your facial anatomy and goals to determine the best treatment plan.

You may start to see results in 3–5 days, with full results visible around 10–14 days after treatment. Results typically last 3–4 months, depending on factors like metabolism, muscle strength, dosing and treatment area.

Things to avoid before your tox appointment:

• Alcohol
• Aspirin and NSAIDs like ibuprofen
• Supplements like fish oil or Vitamin E
• Anything else that could thin your blood, unless medically necessary

Never stop taking prescribed medications without your doctor's consent.

For best results, avoid:

• Lying flat for 4 hours
• Rubbing or massaging treated areas
• Strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours, getting hot and sweaty
• Saunas
• Alcohol for 24 hours
• Getting a massage and applying pressure to the treated area
• Hats

There is little to no downtime for most of our injectable services. With that said, anytime you are being injected there is always a chance of bruising and sometimes swelling. Less common with Botox and Dysport, can be more common with HA fillers like Juvederm or Restylane products. If you have a big event coming up, we recommend that you plan well in advance for any potential bruising, and give the products time to kick in so your results are fresh for your event. Your provider can go over all potential downtime prior to being treated.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be adjusted or dissolved if necessary. Our goal is for you to feel confident and happy with your results. If it's been 4 weeks since your treatment we can make adjustments if needed at that time. Always reach out to the practice with any concerns.

We use a topical numbing cream to numb the area prior to injections, and most lip filler contains a built-in numbing agent. Using this combination of numbing it helps maximize comfort. Clients typically describe the sensation as pressure or mild pinching. So overall you are pretty comfortable during the treatment.

Lip filler can:

• Add volume
• Enhance lip shape and definition
• Improve symmetry
• Smooth lines around mouth
• Restore lost volume due to aging
• Improve lip hydration

Treatments are fully customizable based on your goals.

Some swelling and tenderness can be normal for the first 24–72 hours. Bruising may occur and can last up to a week. Most clients return to normal activities the same day.

Experiencing little lumps after dermal filler injections is common and generally not a cause for concern. These lumps can sometimes result from minor bruising beneath the skin, which typically resolves on its own within a few days. In many cases, gently massaging the area as advised can help reduce lumpiness. However, if the lumps persist beyond the expected healing time or cause discomfort, we recommend contacting our office promptly.

The SkinPen device creates tiny micro-injuries in the surface of the skin. This triggers a healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production, which helps repair and rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. Helps with overall skin appearance, tone, texture, acne scars, pores and pigment. Safe for all skin types and tones. Ask about upgrading to the No Filter Needed SkinPen.

Some changes may be noticeable within a few weeks, but because collagen remodeling takes time, the most visible improvements often appear over several weeks to months after treatments. Normally it's recommended to do a series of 3, anytime 2–4 weeks apart.

Diamond Glow is a medical-grade facial that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin simultaneously using a diamond-tipped wand and targeted serums. It delivers immediate glow while improving overall skin health. No downtime treatment.

DiamondGlow uses a diamond-tipped wand for deeper physical exfoliation, while HydraFacial provides lighter chemical exfoliation. DiamondGlow infuses customized SkinMedica® serums directly into freshly exfoliated skin, making it ideal for more corrective concerns such as texture, fine lines, acne, and stubborn discoloration, leaving your skin soft and glowing.

HydraFacial focuses on hydration and glow through its vortex infusion system, using a light chemical exfoliation to remove any buildup on the skin.

The Vi-Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to target fine lines, wrinkles, and improve the overall tone and texture of your skin. During the treatment, the peel solution is applied and must remain on the skin for at least 4 hours or more to achieve optimal results. You can expect some downtime on the day of application, primarily because the peel needs time to work beneath the surface. Starting on the second or third day post-treatment, you will experience visible peeling, which is the phase where most of the downtime occurs.

Proper skin preparation before and after laser treatments is essential for achieving optimal results and minimizing risks. Prior to your appointment, your skin must be at its most natural color — this means no tan, self-tanner or sunburn. If you have recently spent significant time in the sun, it is important to allow your skin to fully return to its normal tone, which may take one to two weeks. This precaution helps prevent skin irritation and uneven treatment outcomes. After your laser session, you must avoid sun exposure for 7 to 10 days to protect your skin while it heals and to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes or damage.

Yes. Injectable, laser and body contouring consultations can all be booked online, as can a 15-minute phone consultation. There is no obligation to book a treatment afterwards.

A consultation runs about 30 minutes. You meet the provider who would perform your treatment, talk through your health history and what you'd like to change, and hear what's realistically achievable — including when the answer is that a treatment isn't right for you. You leave knowing the plan and what it would cost.

Every injectable treatment at Beauty HQ is performed by a licensed Registered Nurse or higher-level medical provider.
