During the procedure, patients may experience a slight pinch or stinging sensation as the needle is inserted, but most people report little to no pain.

After the treatment, some patients may experience mild redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection site, but these side effects are typically mild and resolve within a few hours to a few days.

"I just don't want to look frozen." This is one of the most common statements we hear from patients in the treatment room during their neurotoxin consultation at Sunday Skin. We're here to assure you that our goal is always to make you look like the best version of yourself! Read more on our blog here.

Patients typically start to see the results of Botox within a few days to a week after their treatment. The full effects of Botox may take up to two weeks to become apparent, and individual results may vary depending on factors such as the amount of Botox used, the area treated, and the individual's age and skin condition.

The effects of Botox typically last anywhere from 3-6 months, but this can vary depending on the individual's metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the amount of Botox used.

It's important to note that the longevity of Botox results can be affected by factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and stress. To help prolong the effects of Botox, it's important to practice good skin care habits, avoid sun exposure and protect your skin with sunscreen, and manage stress through healthy lifestyle habits.

Neurotoxin is Botulinum toxin A, also known as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. Your provider will discuss dosing, side effects, outcomes and post procedure instructions during your appointment. 

To best prepare: 

Please arrive 5 minutes early to fill out all necessary paperwork and sign your consent.  

Please remove all makeup prior to your appoitment.  If you are unable to do this, please arrive 10 minutes early so we may provide you with cleanser to remove makeup. 

If you have a workout scheduled, please make sure to workout prior to your Botox appointment as you will not be able to workout 24 hours after treatment. 

Sunday Skin does not administer neurotoxin to anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, even with OB consent. 

If you are running more than 5 minutes late, please notify our staff via text/phone at 615-749-6367.

COMMUNICATE WITH US WITHIN 14 DAYS: 

Please communicate with us if you have any issues with your Botox result by 14 days after your appointment. Do not wait 20 or 30 days as time goes on it makes it more difficult to effectively address your concerns.

Botox/Dysport/Xeomin takes 2 full weeks to kick in, so we can not make any adjustments until that 2 week marker.

REFRAIN FROM THE FOLLOWING:

Do not lie down or lie on your side for 4 hours after treatment. This will prevent the botulinum toxin from drifting into unwanted areas. Simply sit, walk, or stand for the next 4 hours.

Botox can appear stiff during the first 2 weeks. Thus it is optimal to wait 3-4 weeks after Botox injections to participate in professional photos.

Do not press, massage, or manipulate the treated area for 4 hours following treatment. Allow the liquid botulinum product 4 hours to set in place before pressing on the skin. If you are applying makeup following treatment, use gentle, light strokes.

Do not perform activities involving straining, bending over, or heavy lifting for 4 hours after treatment. This is to maintain Botox in the area where it was placed.

Botulinum toxin can degrade easily. Avoid high heat or direct sunlight to the treated areas for 4 hours.

Avoid exercise for 12 hours after Botox injection.

Do not receive any spa or aesthetic dermatology treatments to your face for 3 days after botulinum injections.
