Botox Before & Afters

The Big Why?

So many of our clients get asked why botox? Be sure to read her post for personal look into why she decided to try botox and why Lapiel was the right fit for her!

I considered Botox for almost two years before I finally decided to pull the trigger. I did some research on local Med Spas, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, etc. and in the end, decided to partner up with Lapiel Laser Center. Lapiel is a local Med Spa that focuses on laser hair removal, Botox and other skincare procedures (like silk peels and chemical peels). Some people have a skewed opinion about Med Spas and say not to trust them. I would have to whole-heartedly disagree with that statement. Catalina, the Nurse Practitioner, at Lapiel made me feel so comfortable and was willing to answer every single one of my questions before starting anything. She explained the process and walked me through each step, telling me what she was doing and why.

Does Botox Hurt?

Perhaps our most commonly asked question, along with “will I still look like myself?” The answer is a resounding NO! & Of course! Be sure to read Whitney’s full Q&A with Catalina

So back to the beginning, I was seriously terrified of getting Botox for the first time. The thought of needles poking my forehead made me want to pass out. I have a very low pain tolerance and couldn’t stand knowing that I would willingly induce pain upon myself. A little dramatic right? I soon discovered, yes, this was me being WAY dramatic.

Hyperhidrosis – How much sweat is too much sweat?
Hyperhidrosis – How much sweat is too much sweat?

Hyperhidrosis – How much sweat is too much sweat?

Hyper-hi-what?

The Mayo Clinic describes Hyperhidrosis (hi-pur-hi-DROE-sis) as “abnormally excessive sweating that’s not necessarily related to higher temperatures or exercise.” About 3% of Americans suffer from this embarrassing condition and don’t know that there is an easy way to put a stop to it.

When most people think of Botox, they think wrinkles. But Botox can also help block the communication from the nerve to the sweat gland. This can help you stop sweating and finally feel confident in your clothes! Just one treatment can last up to seven months and only takes about 30 minutes. Most patients see results in as little 2 weeks and report a dramatic change in their lifestyle that lasts up to 7 months. Get ready to bust out those silk blouses and say bye bye to antiperspirants with a little Botox!

Is it worth it for you?

Allergan, the makers of Botox, put together a quiz to help you figure out if this treatment is something that might fit into your life!

Any questions? Let us know or schedule your free consultation to find out more at here

How Does it Work?

Just a few small injections temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, stopping the production of sweat in the treated areas for up to 7 months. The procedure itself is quick and easy, with most patients getting in and out of the office in about 30 minutes.

How Long Does The Treatment Last?

up to 7 months.

Get ready to wear whatever shirt you’d like without ever worrying if you’ll sweat through it!

Getting Married? We’ve Got Your Beauty Timeline!

You’re engaged! While I’m sure you’ve thought about the big things like venue, caterers and flowers, most people don’t start thinking about their bridal beauty services until its too late! Here is a simple guide for brides AND grooms to help plan for some of our most popular pre-wedding services, along with the best times to start thinking about them. Schedule a free consultation and let us help you look your best on your big day!

Laser Hair Removal— 12 Months

No one wants to deal with plucking, waxing, shaving or tweezing leading up to their big day! Whether it’s a strapless dress or a beachside honeymoon you’re planning for, you should consider booking your first laser appointment about a year before your wedding day. Most areas require 6-8 sessions and are booked every 5-6 weeks. What this means is that entire process, from start to finish can take up to a year to complete. After just one treatment we’re sure you’ll wish you’d started years ago! Get ready show off smooth, bump free skin in time for your wedding.

Botox – 6 Months

When you look back at your wedding photos, the only thing that should look dated is your dress! More and more brides are looking to kick their beauty regimen up a notch in preparation for the big day. In some cases this means adding Botox to their to-do list. If you choose to go this route, we recommend doing two rounds before the wedding day with your first visit scheduled at least six months prior to ensure you are happy with your results. Your second visit should be scheduled 1 month before the wedding so that you are looking your absolute best on your wedding day.

Skin Care— 3-6 Months

We always want picture perfect skin, but its extra important on the day all cameras are pointed your way. We offer a myriad of options when it comes to Skin Care for both brides and grooms. Some of our most popular? Silkpeel Diamond Glow and Glytone Chemical Peels. A step beyond the traditional facial, these game-changing treatments can handle anything from acne to hyperpigmentation. The only catch is you may need a few treatments, which is why we recommend giving yourself a few months to get your skin where you’d like to be. Take advantage of our free consultations and outline your goals with our Esthetician who can put together a treatment plan for you!

Latisse—3 Months

Forget the false lashes and grow your own darker, thicker, longer lashes with Latisse! Full results take 16 weeks so make sure to pick up a box at least three months before your wedding and get ready to bat those lashes in every photo!
