About Neuromodulators 

Prolonged repetitive facial movements can result in the formation of subtle skin creases, even when your face is at rest. These fine lines and wrinkles may convey a fatigued, melancholic, or irritable appearance without any active expressions. Administering precise quantities of Botox and Dysport in strategic locations can provide a temporary solution by relaxing the muscles and smoothing out undesirable wrinkles.

Areas of the face that are not treated will remain unaffected. Any potential side effects are infrequent and typically localized to the injection site, which might include mild redness, swelling, or bruising. Experiencing headaches following these injections is also a common occurrence.

Treatment

Before your toxin treatment at North Point, we kindly request that you consider refraining from consuming caffeine and taking anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications, if possible, to reduce the likelihood of bruising. Our Botox and Dysport appointments at North Point Med Spa are typically quite efficient, usually spanning from 30 to 45 minutes.

After the treatment, there is minimal to no recovery time needed. However, we advise abstaining from strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day, and it’s best to avoid wearing tight-fitting hats, receiving facials, or getting massages for a period of two weeks. It may take up to two weeks for the product to take full effect, so we recommend waiting for the entire two-week period before scheduling a touch-up appointment.

Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the lips, providing individuals with fuller and more defined lips. This procedure is often sought after by individuals who are looking to achieve a more youthful and attractive appearance or to address thin or asymmetrical lips. Here are some key aspects of lip augmentation:

  1. Types of Lip Augmentation:
    • Dermal Fillers: The most common method for lip augmentation involves the use of injectable dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based products like Restylane and Juvederm. These fillers can provide a temporary boost in lip volume and definition, typically lasting several months to a year.
  2. Procedure:
    • Lip augmentation with dermal fillers is usually performed in a medical office or clinic. The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort.
    • The filler is injected into specific areas of the lips to achieve the desired volume and shape. The practitioner may use a local anesthetic or numbing cream to minimize pain.
    • After the procedure, there may be some swelling and possibly mild bruising, which usually resolves within a few days.
  3. Results:
    • The results of lip augmentation are usually visible immediately, though there might be some initial swelling.
    • The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last six months to a year, while fat transfer can provide longer-lasting results.
  4. Risks and Considerations:
    • Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and redness.
    • More serious complications, such as infection, asymmetry, or allergic reactions, are rare but possible.
    • It’s essential to choose a qualified, experienced practitioner for the procedure to ensure safety and the achievement of natural-looking results.
  5. Cost:
    • The cost of lip augmentation varies depending on the type of procedure, the specific filler or method chosen, and the geographic location. Dermal fillers are generally more affordable than surgical options.
  6. Maintenance:
    • If you opt for dermal fillers, you’ll need periodic touch-up treatments to maintain your desired lip volume.

It’s crucial to have a thorough consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon or practitioner to discuss your goals and options before undergoing lip augmentation. Additionally, consider potential risks and the maintenance required to ensure that the procedure aligns with your expectations and lifestyle.
