Why Impressions for BOTOX? How Does It Work?
Because BOTOX is simply a relaxant that is placed directly into the muscle it starts acting instantly. All muscles are controlled by nerve endings that receive signals from the brain. BOTOX Cosmetic prohibits these nerve endings from delivering their signal to the muscle fibers. The muscles, therefore, don’t respond and the skin covering the muscle stays smooth.It may take several injections to achieve your desired effect. If your facial lines are deep-set, more BOTOX may be required. If your wrinkles cover a large area (your forehead, for example), there will probably be several injection sites.
What Can I Expect During My Treatment?
Our Aesthetic Nurse is certified to provide BOTOX treatments. These treatments are administered through a very tiny needle. BOTOX anesthetizes the wrinkle-causing muscle relaxing your facial lines.This process lasts approximately ten minutes. You will be left with fewer lines and a couple of minor bumps or redness that lasts only a few minutes.
How Long Does BOTOX Cosmetic Last?
The paralyzing effects of BOTOX generally last a 3 to 5 months. You may notice the effects fading near the end of the third or fourth month. This is normal. We recommend several consistent treatments. If you follow this regimen, you can expect longer lasting results. Over the course of long term therapy, BOTOX Cosmetic boasts extended relief.

How are Botox and Dysport similar and different?
Both Dysport and Botox are forms of botulinum toxin type A
Both products have been used in Europe for almost 20 years to treat certain types of muscle disorders
Botox received FDA approval for cosmetic use in the United States in 2002. Dysport received FDA approval in April 2009.
Both products are safe and effective in the treatment of wrinkles on the face
Dysport is a smaller molecule, so the units are different than Botox (i.e., 20 units of Botox equal 60 units of Dysport)
Dysport works faster (in only 1-3 days vs. 4-7 for Botox) and has FDA approval for a four month duration (vs. 3-4 months for Botox)
Although Dysport is a new treatment in the U.S., given its success in Europe over the last 20 years, it will likely be as popular as Botox within a short period of time.
Liquid Facelift in Fairfax, Virginia
So, what cosmetic procedure is virtually pain free, has no downtime, and shows immediate and amazing results? It is the all new, appropriately named, “Liquid Facelift.” You can have all the benefits of a surgical facelift without actually having surgery and the extending down time.
Fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse, Juvederm and Resylane Lift/Perlane are responsible for giving the face a more youthful appearance and a lift. At Impressions in Fairfax the liquid lift is injection technique known as facial contouring has led way to what is now being called the “injectable threadlift” or “liquid face lift.” By injecting these products into the epidermis and dermis areas of the face where skin has permanently creased and/or has volume or elasticity loss, we are able to immediately diminish lines and lift the skin.
Liquid face lift patients have very little if any downtime after their procedure and can continue with their daily activities immediately following their liquid facelift appointment. This non surgical enhancement has many benefits over traditional facelift methods which require general anesthesia, longer and more painful recovery periods, and cost much more overall.
