1. Will Botox® for Masseters Cause Jowling?

Repeated Botox® treatments for the masseter muscles are unlikely to cause jowling when administered correctly. However, in rare cases, over-relaxation of the masseter muscles can reduce jawline support, which may subtly contribute to sagging in individuals with preexisting skin laxity. To minimize this risk, treatments are carefully customized to achieve your desired results while maintaining overall facial balance.

2. How Long Do Botox® Treatments Last?

The effects of Botox® typically last 3-4 months, though this may vary depending on the area treated, the dosage, and individual response. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results.

3. What Areas Can Be Treated with Botox®?

Botox® is commonly used for:

• Forehead lines

• Glabella (frown lines or “11’s”)

• Crow’s feet

• Lip Flip

• Gummy smile

• Chin dimples

• Brow lift

• TMJ/masseters

• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

4. How Many Units Will I Need?

The number of units depends on the treatment area and individual needs. For example:

• Forehead lines: 10-20 units

• Glabella: 12-25 units

• Crow’s feet: 6-16 units per side

• TMJ/masseters: 15-50 units per side

Your provider will customize the dosage to meet your goals.

5. Are There Any Side Effects?

Botox® is a safe, FDA-approved treatment with minimal risks. Temporary side effects may include:

• Mild swelling or redness at the injection site

• Minor bruising

• Temporary discomfort

Severe complications are rare when treatment is performed by a licensed, experienced provider.

6. How Long is the Downtime?

There is typically no downtime with Botox® treatments. You can resume your daily activities immediately, though strenuous exercise and lying down should be avoided for the first 4-6 hours.

Botox® is an FDA-approved treatment for managing excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate overactive sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production in the treated area.

Manage excessive underarm sweating with Botox®! This FDA-approved treatment effectively reduces sweat production by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to overactive sweat glands. Results last 4-6 months, helping you stay confident and comfortable.

What to Expect:

• Duration of Results: Most clients experience a dramatic reduction in sweating for 4-6 months, with some noticing benefits lasting up to a year.

• Quick and Convenient: Treatments take approximately 30 minutes with no downtime.

Does It Hurt?
Botox® for hyperhidrosis involves small, shallow injections into the skin. To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream or ice may be used. Most clients report only mild and temporary discomfort.

Is It Safe?
Yes! Botox® for hyperhidrosis is FDA-approved, safe, and effective when administered by a licensed professional. Side effects are rare and may include temporary bruising or slight tenderness at the injection site.

Bottom Line: Botox® offers a life-changing solution for those struggling with excessive sweating, helping you feel confident and comfortable every day.

Microneedling with PRP/PRF:

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are regenerative treatments derived from your own blood. During the procedure:

1. A small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets, fibrin, and growth factors.

2. These natural components are applied or injected into the skin to stimulate collagen production and accelerate healing.

Benefits of PRP/PRF Microneedling:

• Promotes natural skin repair and rejuvenation.

• Improves fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin texture.

• PRF offers a slower release of growth factors compared to PRP, extending the healing and regenerative effects.

Best For:
Clients looking for a natural, additive-free option for skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling with Exosomes:

Exosomes are cutting-edge, cell-derived products that contain growth factors, peptides, and proteins to enhance skin regeneration. Unlike PRP/PRF, exosomes are laboratory-engineered and standardized for high concentrations of healing factors. During treatment, exosomes are applied to the skin after microneedling to maximize absorption and effectiveness.

Benefits of Exosome Microneedling:

• Accelerates skin healing and reduces downtime.

• Provides powerful anti-aging effects, including skin tightening and brightening.

• Improves hyperpigmentation, redness, and overall skin tone.

• Suitable for those who cannot or prefer not to use blood-derived products.

Best For:
Clients seeking advanced, potent, and consistent results for anti-aging, skin discoloration, and overall rejuvenation.

Bottom Line:
Both treatments are excellent options for skin rejuvenation, with PRP/PRF offering a natural approach and exosomes delivering cutting-edge, high-performance results. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your goals and skin needs.

• Skin Type and Healing Ability: Some individuals respond faster than others.

• Combination Treatments: Adding PRF, PRP, or Exosomes can enhance results and potentially reduce the number of sessions needed.
