Before and After Pictures

Gayle's Testimonial

I have a pretty stressful job, and I've always been a bit of a worrier. Unfortunately, it was starting to show up on my face. My kids were always asking me "What's wrong?" or "Why are mad?", and I knew it was because of the angry look on my face from the lines between my brows and on my forehead. I didn't want to look angry all the time, especially because I'm generally a pretty happy person. I heard about the amazing things that BOTOX could do, and my friend told me about Indigo MedSpa and what a great experience she had there. I checked out the site and learned that I could actually do a BOTOX treatment during my lunch hour. As a busy woman that was a huge plus. I also was surprised with how affordable it is, especially compared with the alternative of surgery....read more.

Why should I get treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic?

When it comes to selecting a physician-administered aesthetic treatment, chances are you'll want proof, not just claims. The proof for BOTOX® Cosmetic is in the numbers.

Treatment Process - BOTOX® Cosmetic

Before Treatment

Before beginning treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic you must schedule a consultation with Dr. PreFontaine. At this time you will be asked some questions regarding your medical history including any allergies or medical conditions you may have. Dr. PreFontaine will explain the treatment process and give you instructions about what to expect during and after the procedure.

During Treatment

Before treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic you will be seated in a reclining chair. You will be asked to contract certain muscles in the face, and make expressions to show where the treatment needs to be injected. Based on your desired results and your ability to move these facial muscles, your doctor will mark the locations to be treated. After Dr. PreFontaine has assessed your needs he will administer tiny injections into areas of the face. BOTOX® treatments take about 10 minutes.

After Treatment

You will be able to return to your daily activities almost immediately after treatment. As with all injections there is a chance that may experience some side effects from these treatments.

Common Questions About BOTOX® Cosmetic

Will I still look like me?

Treatments do not radically change your facial appearance. You can still frown or look surprised - without the wrinkles stealing the show. And with natural-looking results of BOTOX® Cosmetic, you won't look like you've "had work done". BOTOX® works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the muscle's activity that causes wrinkles to form. If treatments are not continued, the lines will slowly reappear in the places they appeared before treatment, though with multiple treatments the facial muscles will begin to atrophy, and treatment will be needed less frequently to maintain results.

How long does the procedure take?

BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments typically take about 10 minutes and normal activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure.

Are the treatments painful?

Discomfort is usually minimal and brief, requiring little to no recovery time. You can do the procedure on your lunch break, in fact. No anesthesia is required. As with all injections, there may be some discomfort during treatment.

Are there any side effects?

The most common, but rare, side effects include temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Other side effects that may occur include bruising, swelling, redness and tenderness at the injection site.

How long do the results last?

Results can last for up to four months. If you discontinue treatment, lines will begin to re-appear, though after many treatments the muscles begin to atrophy, meaning you will require less frequent treatments to maintain your results.

How soon will I see results?

Results are visible within the first four days following treatment, and the lines continue to improve during the first month.

Who administers the treatments?

All BOTOX® treatments at Indigo MedSpa are administered by a board certified physician, Dr. Stephen PreFontaine, our Medical Director.

How much do BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments cost?

Cost varies based on the area treated and the amount of units needed for optimal results, which is determined during your consultation. To learn more about pricing for BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, book a consultation by clicking on the link.

Why does it seem like women age more quickly than men?

Women tend to show more expression in their face and their skin is typically more delicate than men, so wrinkles appear exaggerated and more permanent. The lines that appear between your brows are a result from facial muscles contracting over time.
