Though each person is different, one can typically expect to see results last for around 2-3 months. After this, you will usually begin to see a diminishing effect. 

One very important thing to remember is:

DOSE = DURATION

Meaning, the more units that are injected into an area, the longer the effects will be in that particular area.

duration of results varies depending on the type of treatment. Botox typically lasts about 3 to 4 months, while the effects of dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to over a year, depending on the specific product and treatment area. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the filler material, and repeat treatments are needed to maintain the desired results.

Botox dosages can vary based on the specific area being treated and individual patient needs. Below is a general chart outlining typical Botox unit ranges for various areas of the face:

The average cost of botox typically ranges from $10-$16 per unit. The total cost of Botox depends on the treatment area(s), and the total amount of units used.  At Aliestetic Naples, our price is regularly $12 per unit. Additional discount available during promos and with memberships.

The procedure for Botox is relatively quick and straightforward, typically taking about 20-30 minutes. To begin, your injector will ask you about any particular areas of concern and may offer some additional suggestions as well. 

They will then have you make various facial expressions while marking out specific injection points. After this, they will mix the Botox and then use a very tiny needle to inject specific amounts into each site.

During the treatment, you may experience mild stinging sensation, which is normal and very short-lived.  

Aftercare instructions:

1. Avoid Touching or Rubbing: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas.

2. Stay Upright: Keep your head upright and avoid lying down for at least 4 hours. This helps ensure the Botox stays in the targeted muscles.

3. Avoid Strenuous Activity: Avoid intense physical exercise, including heavy lifting, for at least 24 hours. Strenuous activity can increase blood flow and potentially affect the distribution of Botox.

4. Skip the Sauna or Hot Tub: Avoid hot baths, saunas, or steam rooms for at least 24 hours, as heat can increase the risk of bruising and affect the results.

5. No Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours after, as it can increase the risk of bruising.

6. Avoid Facials and Massage: Refrain from facial treatments, massages, or any procedures that involve pressure on the face for at least 24 hours.

7. Follow Up: Adhere to any additional instructions provided by your provider and schedule any recommended follow-up appointments to assess the results and make any necessary adjustments.

8. Monitor for Side Effects: Watch for any unusual side effects, such as difficulty swallowing, drooping eyelids, or severe headaches. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience anything concerning.

9. Makeup: You can apply makeup gently after 24 hours if needed, but be cautious to avoid any vigorous application or removal.

Always follow the specific aftercare instructions given by your healthcare provider, as they may have tailored recommendations based on your individual needs and the areas treated.
