The most common difference between Dysport® and Botox® is that Dysport® typically spreads faster and takes effect more quickly. If you're unsure which neurotoxin you would prefer, during your consultation we will discuss your goals and previous experience with neurotoxins and decide together what will get you the best results!

Yes. We want you to be fully comfortable during your treatment. We can add a full dental block to fully numb the area prior to injecting your fillers. We can also use a topical numbing cream to numb the area. However, a topical numbing cream does not numb the area to the same extent as a dental block so you may still experience some discomfort.

You may experience some mild discomfort during your thread lift. However, we use local anesthesia to numb the area and make your experience as comfortable as possible. If you have previous experience with fillers, you can expect a thread lift to have a similar sensation.

We want you to love your results and we'll work with you to make sure you're happy! If in the end, it's just not for you, we do have the ability to dissolve the filler and get your lips back to baseline. If you did not like your results from a previous provider or clinic, sometimes it is best to dissolve the filler first and start at baseline. Prior to any treatment, we will be sure to discuss all of your options with you during a full-face consultation.
