Frequently Asked Questions

  • At Your Best Wellness & Aesthetics exclusively offers Jeuveau, a type of botulinum toxin injection for treating wrinkles. It's often referred to as "Newtox" and works similarly to Botox Cosmetic. Other options include Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, all FDA-approved for reducing wrinkles. The best choice depends on your target areas, desired timing for results, duration of results, and cost. We'll discuss the right treatment for you during your consultation.

  • Treatment usually takes about 30 minutes in a treatment room and is generally painless. Your aesthetic injector might use a cold pack to numb the area before injection, but it's often not needed.

  • Please avoid alcohol, medications, and supplements that thin your blood (like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil, ginseng, or ginkgo Biloba) for one week before your appointment. Also, refrain from strenuous exercises or activities right before your appointment. These precautions will help reduce bruising and bleeding at the injection site after your procedure.

  • After treatment, you might have mild redness for up to an hour. Occasionally, some patients might experience a mild headache or minor bruising and swelling. There's no downtime required, so you can return to regular activities right away. Avoid strenuous exercise for 4 hours after injections and refrain from rubbing the treated areas for 24 hours after treatment.

  • The effects of botulinum toxin treatment typically take 1-2 weeks to fully develop and last around 2.5 - 4 months. If you feel you need a touch-up after 2 weeks, please contact the office to schedule an appointment. Results vary from client to client, so your injector will plan your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals.

  • Mild bruising, swelling, soreness, headaches, and drooping eyelids are potential side effects of neurotoxin injections.

    No, you don't need to be over 40 to get neurotoxin injections. The decision is based on the severity of your lines rather than your age. In fact, many people in their early 30s are opting for cosmetic procedures or injectable treatments. Lines form differently for everyone due to various factors like cellular changes, collagen reduction, genetics, and environmental damage.

  • Not at all! Many men are using botulinum toxin treatments just like women to look healthy, young, and relaxed. Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of men choosing these treatments as part of what they do to care for their appearance. The only difference is men will often require more units compared to women, as they have more muscle mass in their foreheads and brows than women.

  • Revanesse Versa, or "Versa," is a dermal filler commonly used in the lips, nasolabial folds, and cheeks. It contains Hyaluronic Acid, a natural substance in the body. What sets it apart is its uniform particle size and perfect spherical shape, providing a balanced volume and smoothness without feeling "bumpy."

    Results from Versa are noticeable right away and typically last around 1 year. We suggest a follow-up appointment after 6-9 months to monitor how the filler is dissolving.

  • Microchanneling is a noninvasive procedure that encourages your body to produce collagen, elastin, and other components vital for healthy skin. It works by stimulating the outer layers of the skin without penetrating into living tissue, kickstarting your body's natural skin regeneration process.

  • Intravenous (IV) therapy is when fluids, medications, or nutrients are given directly into your bloodstream through a vein. It's often used to hydrate you, give you medicine, provide vitamins and minerals, or treat medical issues. IV therapy works quickly because the substances go directly into your bloodstream.

  • How often you need an IV depends on why you're getting it and what your doctor suggests. Some people might need it regularly for medical reasons, while others might only need it occasionally, like when they're sick or after intense exercise. Talk to your doctor to figure out what's best for you.

  • Typically your entire experience will last about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

  • Before your drip session you want to drink plenty of water, have a well-balanced meal to help stabilize blood sugar during treatment, and limit dehydrating and caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, or soda). This can make IV placement difficult. Do not take vitamin or mineral supplements 4 hours prior to or 4 hours after treatment. Do not exercise 2 hours prior to or 2 hours after treatment. Please inform your healthcare provider of any ongoing health issues you are experiencing.

  • You want to drink plenty of water after your drip session. It is normal to feel fatigued. Do not exercise for 2 hours after treatment. Place a warm compress on the IV site if it feels irritated.
