TOX
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Full results take 2 weeks, but expect to notice a change in 4-7 days. Please make sure to wait a full 2 weeks before scheduling a follow-up appointment.
AM I GOING TO BRUISE?
Bruising is uncommon, but can happen. To prevent bruising avoid alcohol, caffeine, and ibuprofen a few days prior to your appointment and immediately after.
WHY DOES MY HEAD HURT?
Headaches can happen after neurotoxin injections, especially after your first time. We recommend taking an OTC analgesic if this occurs.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Results typically last 3-4 months, but vary per person. If you frequently exercise or have a fast metabolism, you may need injected more often or with higher doses.
WHAT NOW?
Immediately after treatment you may notice some redness and small bumps which are normal and will go down in approximately 15 minutes. You should avoid touching your face, laying down for 3-4 hours, and exercise for 24 hours. You may resume your usual skincare routine in the evening.

CAN I BRING IN A PICTURE OF WHAT I WANT MY LIPS TO LOOK LIKE?

If you are worried about the size/swelling, don’t fret… your lips will start to feel and look more natural in no time!

BODY CONTOURING
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Each session is 30 minutes.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
EMScupt NEO harnesses the powers of radio frequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to simultaneously tone muscle and melt fat. The HIFEM causes your muscle to contract and the RF warms the muscle up like a normal workout. The RF also heats the fat cells to about 108 degrees, which causes apoptosis, or the controlled death of said fat cells. Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good!
IS IT PAINFUL?
You will feel muscle contractions together with a heating sensation in the treated area, but it does not hurt and can be tailored based on your tolerance level. We start out slow/light and turn up the intensity as tolerated.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
It is indicated for abs, buttocks, arms, thighs, and calves.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Most typically start to see results about two weeks after their last treatment. It is generally recommended that you get 1 treatment weekly for 4 weeks.
WHAT NOW?
HOW QUICKLY CAN I RESUME NORMAL ACTIVITY?
Immediately! There is no downtime. Just make sure to drink lots of water and avoid alcohol for the first 24 hours.
