How to prepare for your treatment:

This treatment requires relatively little preparation. However, it is preferred to avoid blood thinning medications and fluids, such as caffeine or alcohol, if possible. While not at all required, consumption of these can increase the risk of bruising. The injections itself are relatively quick and painless. If you desire, you may take Tylenol prior to your appointment. Please avoid Ibuprofen, Advil, or Aspirin as these can increase your skin of bruising. Please note that you will not be able to get an eyebrow wax, microblading,  facials, microdermabrasion, etc for 7 days following your appointment so please schedule accordingly. We do not inject pregnant or breastfeeding mothers. 

What to expect at your appointment:

Your provider will greet you and take before pictures so we can track your progress together. So exciting! We then will do a thorough assessment and discuss what brings you in and what your goals are. We will discuss the benefits, what to expect, and potential side effects. We will then cleanse your skin and get to the fun stuff- the injections! Here at Sol Skin and Wellness, our goal is to make you as educated and comfortable as possible. The initial appointment will be around 45 minutes and your following appointments will be 20-30 minutes! 

When will you see results:

Wrinkle Relaxers start to work at around day 4-7 with full, optimal results at day 14. You will not want to receive injections right before a big event. Ideally you will receive treatment 3-4 weeks prior to the event or holiday!
