Wrinkle Relaxers
Neurotoxin injectables temporarily help relax the muscles in the face to soften the dynamic fine lines and wrinkles. These are most often used on forehead lines, the glabella area (11's) and crow’s feet around the eyes.
The Bare Solutions offers Botox and Dysport treatments that create a natural softening and reduction of dynamic wrinkles. However, you will still have the ability to express yourself with your face. We target only the muscles that contribute to the wrinkles we want to treat avoiding that “frozen face” look.
Using very concentrated and specifically targeted injections, we provide a very comfortable and natural-appearing treatment. We do not want to change your face, we only want to uncover and enhance your natural beauty.

BOTOX (Botulinum Toxin) is a popular cosmetic procedure used to temporarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines.
​
Procedure Description:
During a BOTOX procedure, a trained healthcare professional injects small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific muscles in the face. This toxin blocks nerve signals, temporarily relaxing the muscles and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
​
Indications:
BOTOX is commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines. It can also be used for medical purposes, including migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.
​
Contraindications:
The use of BOTOX may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular disorders. It's important to discuss your medical history and any existing conditions with your healthcare provider before undergoing treatment.
​
Side Effects:
Potential side effects of BOTOX can include temporary bruising, swelling, redness, or mild pain at the injection site. Rarely, more severe reactions may occur, such as muscle weakness or drooping eyelids. These should be reported to your healthcare provider immediately.
​
During Treatment:
BOTOX treatment typically involves a series of injections, performed in a healthcare professional's office. The procedure is generally quick, taking around 10-15 minutes. The provider will cleanse the treatment area and use a fine needle for the injections. Discomfort is usually minimal.
​
Pain Control:
Most patients tolerate BOTOX injections well and do not require pain control. However, a topical anesthetic cream or ice can be applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort.
​
Duration of Procedure:
The actual BOTOX injection process typically takes only a few minutes. However, you should allow some additional time for consultation and preparation.
​
Recovery Time:
Recovery after BOTOX is generally quick, and you can usually resume your normal activities immediately afterward. It's recommended to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for a few hours to prevent the toxin from spreading.
​
Number of Sessions:
The number of BOTOX sessions required can vary depending on individual goals and the treated area. Generally, results last for about three to six months, and subsequent sessions may be scheduled to maintain the desired effects.
​
Expected Results:
BOTOX results are not immediate and typically start to become noticeable within a few days, with full effects visible within two weeks. Wrinkles and lines are temporarily softened, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance.
​
Post-Treatment Instructions:
After the procedure, your healthcare provider may provide specific instructions tailored to your needs. These may include avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or lying down for a few hours post-treatment.
​
Typical Cost:
The cost of BOTOX treatment can vary depending on factors such as the provider's expertise, location, and the number of units required. Prices are often quoted per unit, and the total cost will depend on the treatment area and the number of units used.
​
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Is BOTOX safe? BOTOX is considered safe when administered by a trained healthcare professional.
2. When will I see results? Results typically become noticeable within a few days to two weeks after treatment.
3. How long do the effects last? The effects of BOTOX generally last around three to six months, but individual results may vary.
4. Can I combine BOTOX with other treatments? BOTOX can be combined with other cosmetic procedures for enhanced results, but it's important to discuss with your provider to ensure the procedures are compatible.
DYSPORT is a prescription medication that contains abobotulinumtoxin A, a type of botulinum toxin. It is used for various cosmetic and medical purposes, primarily for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and treating certain muscle-related conditions.
Procedure Description:
During a DYSPORT treatment, a healthcare professional injects small amounts of the medication into specific muscles. The injections temporarily block nerve signals to the targeted muscles, causing them to relax and reducing the appearance of wrinkles or addressing muscle-related conditions.
​
Indications:
DYSPORT is commonly used for cosmetic purposes, such as diminishing the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows). It may also be prescribed to treat muscle spasms, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), or certain neurological conditions.
​
Contraindications:
DYSPORT should not be used if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, have an infection at the injection site, or have a history of allergic reactions to other botulinum toxin products. Additionally, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders or pregnancy/breastfeeding.
​
Side Effects:
Common side effects of DYSPORT include temporary injection site reactions (redness, swelling, bruising), headache, temporary eyelid drooping, and nausea. In rare cases, more severe side effects may occur, so it's essential to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
​
During Treatment:
During the procedure, you may feel a slight pinch or stinging sensation as the injections are administered. Some healthcare providers may use ice or numbing creams to minimize discomfort. Pain control measures during the procedure can be discussed with your healthcare professional.
​
Duration of Procedure:
The actual injection process typically takes a few minutes to complete, but the overall appointment duration may vary depending on factors such as the areas being treated and the number of injections required.
​
Recovery Time:
Recovery time after a DYSPORT treatment is generally minimal. You can usually resume your daily activities immediately, but your healthcare provider may recommend avoiding vigorous exercise and excessive sun exposure for a short period.
​
Number of Sessions:
The number of sessions required varies based on the specific treatment goals, individual factors, and the healthcare provider's recommendation. Your provider will assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan.
​
Expected Treatment Results:
After DYSPORT injections, you can expect to see a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles or an improvement in muscle-related conditions within a few days to a week. The results are temporary and typically last for three to four months. Regular maintenance sessions may be needed to sustain the desired outcome.
​
Post-Treatment Instructions:
Following the procedure, it's advisable to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas and to remain upright for a few hours. Your healthcare provider will provide specific instructions tailored to your situation.
​
Typical Cost:
The cost of DYSPORT treatment can vary depending on factors such as the geographical location, the number of injections, and the provider's expertise. It's best to consult with a healthcare professional or a reputable medical spa for accurate pricing information.
