October Specials

Completely. A lot of the people we treat thought about it for a year before booking, and most of the nerves are about ending up looking overdone. Say that out loud at your appointment — it changes how your injector plans the treatment, and starting conservative is always an option.

It depends on the area and how strong your muscles are. As a rough guide, the frown lines between the brows often take 20–25 units, the forehead 10–20, and crow’s feet 12–24 across both sides. Those numbers only compare within one product — units aren’t the same size across different relaxers. Ask for the cost of the whole treatment, not the per-unit price. Your injector counts and confirms the total before starting.

It depends how often you treat. Insiders pay less per unit on tox and get a deeper discount on fillers, skincare and packages, and member pricing stacks on top of whatever promotion is running. If you treat two or three times a year it generally pays for itself. If this is a one-off, it probably isn’t — and we’ll tell you that.

You sit down with a provider, talk through what’s bothering you and what you don’t want changed, and they check you’re a candidate — medications, recent sun exposure, skin type. You leave with a plan and a total price. Nothing is treated that day unless you decide you want it.

Not if the dose is right. The goal is to use only what’s needed to soften a line while keeping your expression intact, and to start low. You can add more at a follow-up; you can’t take it away. If you want to keep full brow movement, say so — that’s a plan, not a complaint.

Wrinkle relaxers and skin boosters: essentially none. Filler: swelling for two to three days, worst the morning after. Microneedling: a day or two of redness like a mild sunburn. Light-based treatments: spots darken and flake over about a week. Don’t book anything within two weeks of a big event.

Tightening treatments use energy — ultrasound or radiofrequency — to firm the tissue that’s already there. Collagen stimulators are injected and prompt your body to build new collagen over several months. They approach the same problem from different directions, which is why they’re often planned together rather than chosen between.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding rule out injectables and most energy-based treatments. Laser work generally isn’t suitable on recently tanned skin — a real consideration in Tucson — and some medications mean waiting. Bring your medication list to the consultation.
