NEUROTOXIN

$12/unit +

At Alora, we carry Dysport and Botox. Neurotoxin injections reduce wrinkles and facial lines caused by the aging process and can also be used to reduce excessive sweating.  

​

What are neurotoxins, and how do they work?

 

Neurotoxins reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles and is the only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines and wrinkles.

​

Will neurotoxin change your looks?
​

One should not be concerned about their face looking unnatural or overdone after receiving a neurotoxin. It's a technique-sensitive treatment. A well-trained injector will be able to make the results appear subtle and natural. You’ll look just like you do now, but with fewer wrinkle lines.

​

After receiving Botox, you can return to your daily routine as soon as you leave the office, unless you’re a gym lover. We recommend waiting 24 hours before exercising. In addition, you will be unable to touch the treated areas or lay flat.

​

At Alora, we are skillfully trained for all your injection needs. When you book a consultation, we will discuss all your needs and wants before injecting. We want to ensure our clients walk away feeling confident, natural, and happy with all your injections.

​

The frequency of treatment is every 3-4 months for best results.​

  • Preparing for Your Neurotoxin Treatment
    A few tips to help you achieve best results. Refrain from alcohol consumption and drink plenty of water. Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to any event/vacation. Recommend discontinuing use of NSAIDs (Motrin, Ibuprofen), Aspirin, Gingko Blob, Garlic, Ginseng, St. John’s Wart, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days to 1 week before and after treatment to minimize bruising or bleeding. Please consult with your primary physician before discontinuing these medications. Avoid alcohol and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your treatment. These may increase risk of bruising and bleeding. You may not have an active rash or infection in the treatment area. You can not receive neurotoxin while pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Post-Neurotoxin Guidelines
    Do not massage treated areas on the day of treatment. Do not receive facial/laser treatments or microdermabrasion for at least 10 days. Avoid applying heat to the treated area on the day of treatment. Avoid actives that cause facial flushing for 24 hours after treatment, including consuming alcohol, hot tub or sauna use, exercising, and tanning. Avoid straining or heavy lifting for 6 hours after treatment. Cool compress or wrapped ice pack may reduce discomfort, swelling, or bruising after treatment. If bruising occurs, it typically resolves within 7-10 days. After treatment, oral consumption and/or topical application of Arnica Montana may help reduce bruising or swelling. Botulinum toxin treatment effects take about 1-2 weeks to fully develop and last approximately 3-4 months. Common side effects include but are not limited to, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, and injection site bruising. It is okay to use makeup post-procedure and reapply gently over treated areas. If the forehead was treated, avoid wearing hats/visors for 4 hours post-treatment.
  • Preparing for Your Alora Glow Treatment
    Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before any event/vacation. Redness, bruising, and peeling may be present during that time. Avoiding Accutane for at least 6 months before treatment. Discontinue Retinol 24-48 hours before procedure to reduce sensitivity. Avoid alcohol and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your treatment. These may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. If you have a history of cold sores, let us know, and we may prescribe an antiviral. Starting Arnica supplements 2-4 days before the treatment may help with bruising. You may not have an active rash or infection in the treated area. Avoid IPL/BBL laser procedures and waxing for the past 7 days before treatment is required. If pregnant or breastfeeding, you must receive clearance from OB/GYN prior to your treatment.
  • Post-Alora Glow Guidelines
    Redness and sensitivity may be present and can last up to 24 hours after treatment. Avoid picking at the treatment area. Avoid activities that cause facial flushing for 48 hours after treatment, including consuming alcohol, exercising, hot tubs, and saunas. Avoid tanning or prolonged direct exposure to sunlight. Take extra precautions to guard against sun exposure immediately following the procedure. It is very important to use SPF 30+ after treatment. Do not use skin exfoliants, scrubs, acids, or retinoids for 10-14 days post-treatment. Recommend changing to a clean pillowcase the night of treatment. Make sure to keep items that come in contact with your face clean, such as your cellphone and glasses. Use post-treatment skincare. Ask us if you have any questions about what products you should be using. Cleanse face with gentle cleanser morning and evening. Keep skin moisturized throughout the day. May use makeup after 24 hours. May start regular skin care routine (including retinol, glycolic acid, lactic acid salicylic acid) after skin is no longer sensitive.
  • What is Alora Glow?
    Alora Glow, or Microchanneling, is a treatment that uses a handheld tool with precise micro tips containing tiny, ultra-fine needles to inject customized serums loaded with anti-aging agents directly into the skin.
  • How is Alora Glow Different From Microneedling?
    Alora Glow, or Microchanneling, delivers tiny punctures at a superficial depth (0.5mm) into the skin. Microneedling is able to provide a deeper depth of treatment (0.1 mm- 2.5 mm). Microneedling tends to have a longer recovery time and is used to treat more significant acne scars, sun damage, pigmentation, and wrinkles.
  • When Will I See Results?
    You will notice glowing more hydrated skin immediately after the procedure. Results will continue to improve over time.
  • Can I Have Alora Glow While I Am Breastfeeding or Pregnaunt?
    We recommend receiving clearance from your OB/GYN if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • How Long Do Results Last?
    Results are permanent. We do recommend maintaining the best results by incorporating a medical-grade skincare regimen and daily use of SPF 30+ into your routine.
  • What is the Downtime with the Alora Glow Treatment?
    It is common to notice redness and swelling immediately after the procedure. This subsides quickly and should not interrupt your normal daily activities. If you have any questions about your post-treatment care, check out our "What to know before your treatment" section.
  • Does This Treatment Hurt?
    It is well tolerated by patients with no topical anesthesia required.
