Botox is a cosmetic treatment for reducing wrinkles by cosmetic denervation (relaxing the muscle). Fine lines caused by facial expressions like frowning or squinting become deeper and more permanent as we age. Cosmetic denervation is done with a Botox injection to soften these lines. Most people know this treatment as Botox, Botox is a brand name, our service uses a brand called Xeomin.
The treatment is simple and safe, performed in the office. A tiny needle with a small amount of Botox is injected into strategic locations to produce the desired effect. It will take effect in 3-7 days with the maximum results achieved after 10-14 days. Very gradually it will wear off after 3-4 months and the wrinkles will re-appear. Successive treatments every 3-4 months can maintain the desired results.
Xeomin/Botox is a safe substance. The most common side effect of treatment is temporary redness or bruising which can be covered by make-up.
IV (intravenous) vitamin/micronutrient drips are high doses of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids delivered into the bloodstream. They are recommended to prevent nutrient deficiencies and optimize health. Each IV is customized to treat each patient as well as the frequency of treatments. They are especially helpful for people with gastrointestinal issues like IBD or celiac because this treatment bypasses the digestive system.
This treatment involves the administration of multiple natural ingredients directly into the bloodstream through an IV and takes about 45-60 mins.
The following are common reasons people come in for these treatments:
Vitamin shots are high doses of vitamin injected into muscle, most commonly the arm in the shoulder muscle. Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D are the two most common vitamin shots. These treatments are done to correct or prevent deficiency. They are quick, taking about 5 minutes.
IV (intravenous) glutathione is a popular treatment option for individuals who are looking to boost their immune system, improve their overall health, and reduce the signs of aging. This treatment involves the administration of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, directly into the bloodstream through an IV and takes between 10 and 25 minutes (depending on if it’s a push or drip).
