Before & After

What to Expect

The Botox Process

1

Consultation

When you come to Kate Allen Aesthetics for wrinkle relaxers in Silverdale, your trained injection specialist will first provide a free consultation to ensure you are an ideal injection candidate and discuss your goals to recommend which injectable will best meet your needs. When complete, you will know how much product we will inject and precisely what it will cost.

2

Your Botox Injections

We then study your facial expressions and create light marks to indicate where we will make the injections. Most patients report no or minimal discomfort; however, we can provide a topical anesthetic as needed. After the quick injection process, we will assess the treated area to ensure the proper placement of the Botox.

Next Steps

We’ll answer any questions about the treatment, give you instructions on the best ways to maintain results, and assist you in scheduling any follow-up appointments you need. When you leave our Silverdale office, you can return to daily activities; however, we ask that you stay out of the sun without protection and keep your head upright for 4 hours.

Pre-Treatment

Pre-Care Instructions

Prior to Your Wrinkle Relaxers in Silverdale, Kate Allen Aesthetics Recommends:

It is essential that you let us know of any medications/supplements or medical history prior to your treatment.

Please do not exercise on the day of your treatment (before or after).

To reduce the risk of bruising, we recommend you avoid non-prescribed supplements and medications 3 days before your treatment.  These include fish/krill/omega oil, vitamin E, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (such as neurofen, aspirin & voltaren), ginkgo, garlic/ginger/turmeric supplements & evening primrose oil.

3 Days Before

To reduce the risk of bruising, we recommend you avoid non-prescribed supplements and medications 3 days before your treatment.  These include fish/krill/omega oil, vitamin E, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (such as neurofen, aspirin & voltaren), ginkgo, garlic/ginger/turmeric supplements & evening primrose oil.

On the day of Treatment

Avoid exercise, spa baths, saunas and caffeine.

Zinc Supplements

Consider a zinc supplement in the weeks leading up to your Botox injections. Studies have shown insufficient levels of zinc in the body are related to lower efficacy of Botox and other injectables.

Retinoid Products

Discontinue the use of retinoid (Vitamin A) products for 2 days after treatment.

Avoid Alcohol

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to injections, as this too can thin the blood and cause bruising during treatment.

Drink Water

Make sure your skin is properly hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water and using moisturizer morning and night.


Post Treatment

Post-Care Instructions

Following Your Treatment For Botox in Silverdale, Kate Allen Aesthetics Recommends:

No rubbing  or applying pressure to the treated area

Avoid anything that applies pressure or massaging the injection site for at least  3 days following your treatment (you may gently cleanse/moisturise and apply sunscreen or gentle make up).

Stay Upright

Keep your head upright for at least 4 hours to help reduce swelling and speed up the recovery process.

Sunlight/Sunscreen

Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen when outside, as UV rays can disperse the injectable in your skin and shorten Botox’s effect.

Avoid For 1 Week

Avoid scrubs, facial massages and abrasive cleansers for at least a week to ensure you do not disrupt the precisely-injected Botox.

Sleeping

Sleep with your face up and slightly elevated if you are experiencing swelling.

Physical Activity

Avoid strenuous activity or aerobics for 24 hours after your injections.


Frequently Asked Questions

When will I see results?

After receiving your injections for Botox at Kate Allen Aesthetics, you may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours.

How long do the results last?

The results of Botox/Dysport generally last up to 4 months, depending on the patient’s skin type and the depth & severity of their lines.

How much time does it take to receive a Botox injection?

The Botox/Dysport injection process is quick. Once your consultation has been completed and we’ve devised a “game plan” for how to treat your wrinkles, the injection process only takes about 10 minutes.

Will my face look overdone or unnatural?

The highly trained medical experts at Kate Allen Aesthetics have years of experience performing thousands of Botox and Dysport injections. Rest assured, we will deliver subtle and natural results. No one should be able to tell you’ve had any “work” done.

How many Botox injections should I get?

The number of injections will depend on the severity and number of lines you have. Generally, for crow’s feet, we suggest a few injections into the muscle areas that frame the side of each eye. For frown lines, you may receive up to 5-7 injections. For forehead lines specifically, you may receive up to 5-10 injections into the muscle.

Do men get Botox or Dysport treatments?

Absolutely! Botox and Dysport for men is standard at our practice. Crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines are not exclusively an area of concern for women. Men get these wrinkles over time and may wish to look younger and more refreshed.
