INJECTABLES

Injectables, such as Botox, Dysport, and Taxify, are neurotoxins that are injected into specific areas to block nerves, relax muscles, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These procedures are safe, noninvasive, and offer significant results without any downtime.

According to Scott, these products are essentially the same compound, and they are administered through small injections that are generally painless. While the full effect may take several days to over a week to become noticeable, clients typically see immediate and natural-looking results on the day of the procedure. It's important to note that the results usually start to set in after three to five days, with the final outcome visible after fourteen days. The effects of injectables generally last three to four months.

Melanie compares the sensation of the injections to the slight pinch felt while tweezing eyebrows. She uses a bit of ice on the area beforehand, instructs clients to close their eyes, and the procedure is over quickly.

As for cost, Euna quotes around $14 per unit for these procedures, with the general range being between $12 and $17. Scott mentions that the cost varies depending on the procedure and the number of units required, with patients typically paying anywhere from $149 to $600. Melanie states that clients can expect to pay approximately $14 per unit. The number of units needed varies based on factors like age and desired muscle movement reduction. For example, a 25-year-old might require around 20 units, while a 45-year-old might need 50 units. The amount of muscle movement to be decreased determines the dosage, allowing clients to choose between a more natural look with some mobility or complete immobility of the muscle.
