FAQs
What should I expect from the consultation?
The FIRST step is ALWAYS a consultation. Do NOT skip this! It's way more important than you might think. This isn't just some formality; it's where you and your injector get on the same page. Think of it as your beauty brainstorming session — your injector learns what makes you tick, what you love, and what you’re aiming for. Without this crucial step, you’re basically trying to nail a Picasso without even picking up a brush. So, don’t rush past it—because magic starts with a chat!
During the consultation, the injector examines your face, muscle movement, and goals. They assess your structure and skin to plan the best approach. It’s also your time to ask all your questions—ask away!
There should be a medical history/assessment, facial assessment, a treatment plan, and determining what realistic expectations you should have.
How do I pick the “right” person for me?
When considering a treatment provider, it's essential to evaluate their credentials meticulously. Are they qualified and experienced in the specific procedures you seek? Beyond qualifications, do they foster an environment where you feel genuinely comfortable and heard? It’s crucial they address all your inquiries thoroughly, ensuring you understand each step and feel confident in the treatment plan tailored for you.
Scrutinize before and after photos to assess the quality and consistency of their work. Meet the practitioner in person—do their vibes align with yours? Are they actively listening and prioritizing your needs? Trust is paramount; after all, this is your face, your identity, and you will live with the results every day. This decision demands thoughtful consideration—don't rush it, and choose wisely.
What are the common side effects?
Bruising is a frequent, yet generally mild, side effect. Headaches may occasionally occur as well. Additionally, redness and swelling at the injection site are common but usually transient reactions. Think of it like a bug bite.
Less common cases would be drooping eyelids/eyebrows (if this does happen, remember it is temporary!), muscle weakness, and difficulty swallowing, breathing, or speaking (which are more serious and require immediate attention). Be HONEST with your injector about your medical history this way they can inform you if any of these are risks that would probably occur for you before any problems arise.
Can the effects of the treatment be reversed??
For the most part, absolutely! If your injector is on the ball and you’re keeping an eye out too (teamwork makes the dream work!), any little hiccups can be caught early. The body is pretty amazing and can bounce back in weeks to months, so no stress. The sooner you spot something and give us a shout, the sooner we can make it right. Just remember, neurotoxins are powerful, and while they're super effective, nothing's 100% predictable—so just stay aware and chill!
Is aftercare THAT important?
Do you want the best results? If the answer is yes, then absolutely yes—no ifs, ands, or buts. Think of it like brushing your teeth: nobody ever said, "Eh, I’ll skip the floss and call it a day," and ended up with a sparkling smile. Nope! You gotta follow through if you want that biggest bang for your buck—because half-hearted effort just leads to half-hearted results (and possibly a mysterious green garden growing in your mouth). So buckle up, buttercup, and let’s get those results shining brighter than your neighbor’s holiday lights!.
What are the aftercare instructions then?
Keep it CLEAN and sweet! No makeup for at least a day—easy peasy, right? When you spot swelling, redness, or bruising, just ice it like a chilly little hero. Stay cozy and keep your head upright—no quick flips or upside-down adventures, because those neurotoxins like to wander if you’re too wobbly. Get your workout done beforehand so you can chill for 24 hours after—because too much blood flow might make your tox go on an unexpected journey. Simple self-care is the cutest care! 💖❄️✨.
FOLLOW UP- especially for your first appointment!!!! Why?
Alright, listen up, beauty enthusiasts! This is NOT just a “maybe” — it’s a full-on, neon-sign flashing, MUST-DO kind of deal. Why? Because your glow-up doesn’t happen overnight, darling! It takes about a week (give or take) for those jaw-dropping effects to strut their stuff. So, if you don’t see instant magic, don’t panic — you’re just in the waiting room of fabulousness.
Now, here’s the tea on the follow-up: it’s not just some random check-in. Your injector needs to play detective and see if their handiwork hit the bullseye. If not, adjustments will be made faster than you can say “flawless,” guaranteeing your next session edges even closer to perfection. Think of it like customizing the perfect latte—once they nail it, it's all silky smooth.
And because we LOVE a good surprise as much as you love a good pout, tuck this away: your patience, care, and total dedication to this beauty journey won’t go unrecognized. Yep, there’s a little present waiting, just for you, because treating yourself should always come with perks.
So go ahead, book that follow-up—your future flawless self will thank you!
