Botox and Dysport in Tooele

Wrinkle relaxers like Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau soften the lines that form when muscles move: the frown lines between your brows, forehead lines and crow's feet. Our approach is conservative. The goal is that you look rested and like yourself, not frozen or overdone.

 

Every treatment starts with a consultation, and care is overseen by Julee Baird Kimball, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner.

 

What We Treat

• Frown lines (the "11s" between the brows)

• Forehead lines

• Crow's feet

• Bunny lines on the nose

• Lip lines and a gummy smile

• Chin dimpling

• A subtle brow lift

• Jaw clenching and a square jawline (masseter)

 

Frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet are the FDA-approved cosmetic uses, and approval varies by product. The other areas are off-label uses. They're common, but we'll tell you which is which before you decide.

 

Botox, Dysport or Jeuveau?

All three are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A products, and all three work the same basic way: they relax the muscle that's creasing the skin. The differences are small but real. Some people notice Dysport working a little sooner, Botox has the longest track record, and some patients simply respond better to one than another. We'll recommend a product based on the area, your goals and how you've responded before.

 

What to Expect

1. Consultation. We look at how your face moves and talk about what you want changed, and what you don't.

2. Treatment. A few small injections with a very fine needle. Most appointments take well under an hour, and you can go back to your day.

3. Results. You'll start to see a difference within a few days. Full effect takes about two weeks.

4. How long it lasts. Usually three to four months, then the muscle gradually returns to normal. Many people find results last longer with regular treatment.

 

Afterward, avoid rubbing the area, lying flat for a few hours and strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Small bumps at the injection points usually fade within an hour. Bruising is possible but uncommon.

 

Pricing

Botox is $12 per unit and Dysport is $10 per unit, and we're cash-pay, so you'll know your total before we start. Dysport is measured on a different unit scale than Botox and Jeuveau, so unit counts and per-unit prices can't be compared directly between products. Julee will quote your exact total at your visit. A $50 deposit holds your appointment and is applied to your treatment; it's refunded if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead.

 

Who Should Wait

Wrinkle relaxers aren't right if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular condition such as myasthenia gravis, have an infection at the treatment site, or have had a reaction to a botulinum toxin product before. We review your health history at the consultation.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I look frozen? Not if it's dosed well. We start conservatively and can add more at a follow-up. It's easier to add than to wait for too much to wear off.

 

Does it hurt? Most people describe a quick pinch. The needle is very fine, and the whole thing takes minutes.

 

Is Botox the same as filler? No. Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau relax muscles to soften lines caused by movement. Fillers add volume. Our focus is wrinkle relaxers.

 

Can it help with jaw clenching? Masseter treatment is a common off-label use for clenching and a slimmer jawline. Julee will tell you whether you're a good candidate.

 

How often should I come back? Most patients return every three to four months, when they notice movement returning.
