How much tox will I need?

This questions depends on the area that we are looking to treat. Between the brows and the forehead are generally treated together and the average treatment consists of about 30 units for this area. Around the eyes usually takes around 12 units per side to equal a total of 24 units. Each injection in customized to meet your specific needs and is based off your personal muscle strength and size. Remember we are treating the muscles and not the wrinkles that they make! 

How long will my tox last??

While each person is very different, the general consensus is that the effects of tox lasts between 3 and 6 months. It is recommended that clients schedule their tox injections every 3 months so there is no lapse. With this treatment plan, clients can see long-term improvement in their skin.

Why do we say tox and not "Botox"?

Botox is actually a brand of botulinum toxin A that is made by a company called Allergan. The term "Botox" is commonly used to describe any botulinum toxin A for injection. Have you ever heard someone say that they need a Kleenex? Well, Kleenex is actually just a brand of tissues. The Botox / tox debacle is exactly the same.

Can tox cause headaches? 

Tox is actually used for the treatment of headaches. In the short term, however, yes - tox can cause minor headaches in some clients following injection. However, this side effect should last a few hours at max and should be mild to moderate.

What kind of tox does Reve Medical Aesthetics use? 

We primarily use Jeuveau, a full strength FDA Approved toxin that has been shown to take effect faster than other brands of toxin. I personally like Jeuveau because of the effectiveness that I have seen with it as well as a very precise spread of toxin that lowers the rate of poor outcomes. However, we also have Botox and Dysport available for those who request it in advance!

Where can tox be injected? 

FDA Approved treatment sites for botulinum toxin A include between the brows, the forehead, and the lateral aspect of the eyes (crow's feet). However, we also provide off label treatments. Common treatments include the lip flip, gummy smile, dimply chin, flat chin, facial slimming, downturned corners of the mouth, platysmal bands in the neck, nasal tip droop, and brow lifts. 

What about filler? 

Filler is a popular treatment that consists of a hyaluronic acid serum injection to various areas of the face to improve the signs of aging. Some common areas of injection include the lips (of course), temples, cheeks, tear troughs, chins, jawline, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and any fine lines around the face.

What is the downtime for an IPL treatment? 

There is no downtime with IPL. This non-invasive procedure does not go through the skin, but treats beneath the surface. Therefore, we recommend that clients avoid the sun for 1 week and use a zinc-based sunblock. Makeup and skin care products can be applied as early as immediately after the procedure. 

How many treatments will I need for laser hair reduction? 

We deliver long-lasting results with fewer treatments using the most up-to-date technology, InMode’s OptimasMAX.

In addition, the patented cooling system reduces discomfort as well as the “glide mode” found within the OptimasMAX programming.

How many IPL treatments will I need to see results? 

InMode’s OptimasMAX Lumecca is the most powerful IPL laser on the market and is effective after just one treatment. 

Does IPL really slow down aging? 

IPL has also been shown to slow down the cellular aging process, thus slowing down the aging of your skin!

Am I a good candidate for IPL? 

Please be advised that not everyone is a good candidate for Lumecca. While the OptimasMAX delivers a safe and effective treatment, people who have been in the sun in the past 2 weeks, apply irritant topical agents in the past week, or take anticoagulants within 1 week are not candidates for this treatment. Clients with certain skin types and tones, or clients of certain ethnicities, are not candidates for IPL as it has the potential to cause hypopigmentation in certain populations. Prior to scheduling an IPL treatment, please book a consultation to discuss treatment options.
