The Cheat Sheet

Ten Tips for a Great Botox Experience

01Choose a Reputable ProviderLook for experienced, qualified professionals with a proven track record. We have over 500 five-star reviews online about the integrity of our spa, and you can follow us on Facebook or Instagram to see what we are up to.
02Consultation Is KeySuccess begins with your consultation, and you can schedule one the same day as your appointment. Our Nurse Practitioners assess your facial features, answer your questions and recommend a personalized plan. We don't focus on over-selling you Botox, we focus on your goals.
03Understand the ProcedureMany people have heard of Botox but don't fully understand it. Learn about the injection process, the targeted areas and the expected results. Understanding it alleviates concerns and helps you feel confident during treatment.
04Communicate OpenlyClearly express your desired outcomes, concerns and the areas you want addressed. Be honest about your medical history, allergies and any medications you take. This lets us customize the treatment and minimize potential risks.
05Manage Your ExpectationsBotox is a fantastic tool for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, but results are temporary. Talk with us so your expectations align with what Botox can realistically achieve.
06Plan Your TimelineIf you have an important event coming up, schedule your treatment well in advance. That allows time for any potential bruising or swelling to subside and for the full results to develop.
07Follow Pre-Treatment InstructionsWe provide instructions before your appointment, which may include avoiding blood-thinning medications, alcohol or certain supplements that could increase the risk of bruising. Following them maximizes the effectiveness of your treatment.
08Relax and Trust the ProcessInjections are relatively quick and usually cause minimal discomfort. Our Nurse Practitioners have years of experience with injections and patient care in the medical field.
09Follow Post-Treatment CareAftercare may include avoiding excessive heat, intense physical activity or facial massage for a set period. We also schedule a two-week follow-up. We know that isn't common practice, but we want to be sure you are happy. We can always add more, we can never take away.
10Schedule MaintenanceBotox results are not permanent, so maintenance treatments are typically needed to sustain them. We will work with you on a schedule that suits your goals and helps prevent the reappearance of wrinkles.

Our Approach

We Can Always Add More

We schedule a two-week follow-up appointment with every Botox client. We know that isn't a widely used practice, but we want to make sure you are genuinely happy with your results.

It reflects how we approach injectables generally. We can always add more, but we can never take away, so we start conservatively and adjust.

We don't focus on over-selling you Botox. We focus on what your personal goals actually are, and we would rather tell you honestly what is realistic than promise something we can't deliver.
