How Much Do Botox and Dysport Cost?

The cost of NBotox and Dysport varies depending on the treatment area and the injectable you choose to obtain your desired results. Some patients require more than one session to get their desired results. To determine the cost of your Botox or Dysport treatment, call our office to schedule a consultation where we will put a custom program together to correct your current skin concerns.

How long will it take for my results to show after Botox?

Depending on which neurotoxin you choose to have injected determines how fast you’ll see results. Typically, injections can take three to seven days to kick in and last about three months. But once the results wear off, you must repeat the treatment to stay wrinkle-free and smooth.

How many units of Botox or Dysport do I need?

Everyone is different, and what works for one person may be too little or too much for you. The right amount of Botox or Dysport will help soften fine lines and wrinkles without completely paralyzing them and maintaining some expression. Schedule a consultation with our team to determine the best method for you.

Are Botox and Dysport the same?

Botox and Dysport work towards the same goal of smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles for younger-looking skin. Although each contains the same active ingredient and works similarly, the way they are molecularly structured and formulated differs. The composition factor and molecular structure of each—some include different protein blends while others are considered ‘purer’—causes each to have a different potency and diffusion factor.

Are there any side effects to using Botox or Dysport?

There are potential side effects with Botox and Dysport, albeit rare. The most common ones are temporary bruising, swelling, pain, and redness at the injection site. However, some patients also experience dizziness, weakness, or headaches, which often resolve within one to two days. More severe but rare side effects include spreading the injectable, leading to trouble breathing and swallowing, muscle weakness, and slurred speech.

IPL with Lumecca

What is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a quick, easy, and convenient skin treatment that relies on light pulses to reduce signs of discoloration, skin texture, sun damage, environmental damage, and vascular-related changes. Specifically championed for its efficacy in addressing brown spots, red marks, and various discolorations without substantial downtime, IPL proves to be a favored solution.

Over time, sun exposure, natural aging, and poor lifestyle choices can lead to a natural degradation of elastin and collagen, resulting in dull, pigmented skin with diminished firmness. The visible skin changes manifest as spots, redness, broken capillaries, uneven texture, and more, hindering the skin’s overall vibrancy and giving it a tired, weathered look.

Similar to other skin-rejuvenating treatments and procedures, IPL yields optimal results through a series of sessions, which your provider can personalize to your skin’s unique needs. This noninvasive light-based technology is compatible with several skin types and tones to effectively

improve the hands of time and the effects of aging. Patients who undergo the quick treatment benefit from skin tightness, tone, texture, increased collagen production, and fewer facial veins, redness, and dark spots. Additionally, IPL devices excel at removing unwanted body hair.

Among the array of IPL devices available, Lumecca IPL is flexible in tailoring the treatments to specific concerns for more successful and dramatic results. IPL proves exceptionally beneficial for individuals with light skin tones and stubborn freckles, ruddy complexions, and anyone with weathered-looking skin.

IPL treatments, also known as photofacials, are essentially downtime-free and offer no recovery period, allowing you to resume your routine immediately. The cumulative benefits are enduring with proper skincare, making IPL an enduring solution for skin enhancement.

How Does IPL Work?

IPL is a convenient and accessible option for many patients. Unlike a laser, which uses heat energy, IPL utilizes light energy to target specific skin colors to enhance damaged cells and refine the skin.

Before the procedure, your provider will thoroughly assess your skin and discuss your goals to determine the sessions required to address brown or red pigmentation and other skin concerns. Then, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a clear gel is applied to the skin to facilitate the movement of the handpiece. You’l also be asked to slip on a special pair of dark glasses to protect your eyes.

The therapeutic effect of heating unwanted pigmentation destroys discoloration in the skin to even out its tone. IPL photofacials rely on pulsed light to target unwanted skin pigment and redness, resulting in a more uniform skin color and improved skin texture. The treatment’s light and settings are customizable allowing IPL to effectively address various skin issues while targeting melanin to improve pigmentation affected by the sun.

Typically, three to five sessions are recommended to visibly improve the skin. Each session lasts approximately. During the treatment, you’ll feel a light rubber band snapping sensation on the skin along with some warmth. The handpiece application may cause mild heat or a fleeting pinching effect, often mitigated by topical numbing cream for added comfort.

Post-treatment, the skin may appear to have a mild sunburn, which lasts about four to six hours and can easily be alleviated with ice packs. The targeted areas may darken over the next few days, and the skin will resemble small coffee grinds and feel rough. As the skin heals, these dark spots will slough off and fade, with noticeable results emerging after a few treatments.

Who is IPL Good For?

IPL addresses various skin concerns across different types and tones, yet it is optimal for lighter skin tones. This noninvasive skin treatment is particularly beneficial if you are dealing with:

Age spots
Freckles
Sun damage
Acne
Red or brown spots
Broken capillaries and visible veins
Hyperpigmentation
Unwanted birthmarks

Beyond addressing skin tone issues and enhancing skin tone uniformity, IPL successfully enhances skin firmness where mild loose skin persists by promoting collagen production. Because of IPL’s versatility, it can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.

The ideal candidate for IPL is someone with noticeable signs of discoloration and aging, sun damage, ruddiness, or blotchiness. Individuals with rosacea also experience positive outcomes with this treatment. Those with naturally dark or tanned skin may need to proceed cautiously and should always have a condition first to ensure they are not at risk of increased hyperpigmentation post-procedure. Additionally, individuals on Accutane should undergo IPL treatment only after at least six months of discontinuing the drug.

It’s best to avoid IPL if your skin:

Is sensitive to light
Has recently been tanned
Regularly uses a retinoid or retinol on the face
Tends to scar

The Results to Expect

A series of sessions are required to garner the effects of IPL treatments since IPL results are cumulative, though some patients may notice improvement after a single session. In the days following the treatment, the treated areas undergo a temporary darkening, signaling that the IPL treatment is working. Then, they will flake off naturally and the spots will lightly fade. Any previous redness and broken capillaries will start to diminish, rejuvenating the overall complexion and skin tone. When using IPL to target unwanted hair, the hair growth eventually halts although there may be some patches of hair that still exist.

The effectiveness and number of required IPL treatments vary based on the specific concern. For redness, you can expect a series of IPL treatments to address approximately 50 to 75% of broken blood vessels, significantly reducing skin redness. IPL is most effective in treating sun damage and can dramatically lighten brown spots and sun-induced redness. And when using IPL for hair removal, it significantly reduces hairs on the body by about 80 to 90%. Typically three to six sessions are recommended depending on your skin and the condition of concern.

To maintain results, consistent use of sunscreen is crucial. A well-rounded skincare routine and periodic touch-up treatments are also recommended to prolong your benefits.

What are the Benefits?

IPL offers a plethora of skin benefits depending on the specific concerns.

Typical uses of IPL include the following:

Sun damage

Dark brown spots

Red spots

Reddened skin

Hyperpigmentation

Vascular irregularities, such as brown capillaries and visible veins

Fine lines and wrinkles

Unwanted facial and body hair

While most patients choose IPL for facial skin conditions, the treatment is versatile and can also treat other areas of the body, such as the neck and chest.

Before & After

Frequently Asked Questions

What skin issues can IPL treatments effectively address?

IPL is a versatile treatment and can effectively address a range of skin concerns, including sun damage, dark spots, redness, hyperpigmentation, vascular irregularities, fine lines, and wrinkles. IPL is commonly used for hair removal on both the face and body.

How many IPL sessions will I need for noticeable results?

Since everyone is different, the number of sessions needed varies based on your skin conditions and goals. However, some people start seeing improvements after the first session. Optimal results are usually achieved after three to five treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain results over time.

Is there any downtime with IPL treatments, and what should be expected post-procedure?

IPL treatments have minimal, if any, downtime. You may experience temporary redness or darkening of the skin in the treated areas, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within a few days. Avoiding direct sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect the treated skin is crucial. Makeup can be applied immediately after the procedure, allowing individuals to resume normal activities shortly after treatment.

Can IPL be used in combination with other skincare procedures?

Yes, IPL treatments are often combined (usually in separate appointments but sometimes all at once) with other skincare procedures for enhanced results. Common combinations include IPL with lasers or chemical peels to address multiple skin concerns. However, the combination will depend on your skin conditions and should be discussed to create a personalized treatment plan.
