Does Botox/Dysport/Jeuveau Hurt?
In short, the level of discomfort experienced during Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau injections is minimal. These neuromodulators are delivered through extremely fine needles, often described as similar to a tiny pinprick. The injection process is generally quick, taking only a few minutes depending on the area being treated. Most patients report feeling little to no pain, with some comparing it to a small pinch or bug bite.
At Spirited Aesthetics and Wellness, we take every step to ensure your comfort. Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to further reduce any sensation. Ice packs can also be used before or after the injection to minimize discomfort and help with any potential swelling.
If you’re particularly sensitive to pain, let our expert injector, Heather Speert, know during your consultation. She’ll work with you to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Our goal is to provide a relaxing and positive experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Once you’ve had your injections, the next big question is, “How long will the results last?” This can vary depending on the product used (Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau), the area treated, and your individual response to the product. Here’s a general guideline:
- Botox: Typically lasts around 3 to 4 months. After this period, you may notice the gradual return of muscle movement and the reappearance of fine lines or wrinkles.
- Dysport: Known for its slightly faster onset of action, Dysport usually lasts around 3 to 5 months. It can diffuse more broadly across larger areas, making it ideal for areas like the forehead.
- Jeuveau: Similar to Botox in terms of longevity, Jeuveau results typically last about 3 to 4 months. Some patients find it slightly more affordable while still delivering comparable results.
While the duration of results varies, regular treatments can often lead to longer-lasting effects over time. Many clients find that with consistent maintenance, they can extend the time between sessions, as muscles gradually weaken, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
Factors That Affect Longevity
Several factors can influence how long your results will last:
- Metabolism: People with faster metabolisms may find that they metabolize the neurotoxin more quickly, causing the effects to wear off sooner.
- Activity Level: Highly active individuals, especially those who do intense physical exercise, may notice that their results fade slightly faster.
- Injection Area: Areas with more movement, such as around the mouth or eyes, may see a quicker return of lines and wrinkles due to the constant motion.
- Dosage: The amount of product used also plays a role in the duration of the effects. Higher doses may offer slightly longer-lasting results but will be tailored to your specific needs during your consultation.
What to Expect After Your Treatment
After receiving Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau injections, there is generally minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection site, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Bruising is rare but can occur in some individuals, and any discomfort post-treatment can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary.
The effects of the treatment will begin to take shape within a few days, though it may take up to two weeks to see the full results. Once they appear, you’ll enjoy smoother skin and a more youthful, refreshed look without invasive procedures or lengthy recovery times.
