What is a botox facial?
This treatment combines a micro-infusion with skin refining topical serums and with botox that deliver customized skin solutions deep into the epidermis but not to the underlying muscle. This allows the botox to tighten the skin and not freeze the face.
Average recovery time?
The average recovery time is 5 days.
What is the procedure?
A botox facial utilizes the micro-channels created during a micro-infusion treatment to deliver skin refining serums deep into skin without affecting muscle movement. This is a great option for individuals who seek a non-invasive option to help smooth fine lines but are concerned about looking frozen. After the skin has been cleansed and applying numbing anesthetic, the micro-infusion system of choice is then gently moved across the treatment area, creating many, tiny, micro-injuries. The micro-infusion devices may vary, but the size of the needle is typically 0.1-0.25mm in diameter. The goal of this facial is to give patients tighter, younger looking skin and a more rejuvenated appearance while simultaneously delivering nutrients to the skin.
