Botox Injections

All Botox injections at all Viva Day Spa + Med Spas in Austin are exclusively performed by Dr. Aisha White or by aesthetic Nurse Practitioners (NP) and Physician Assistant (PA) injectors, who are advanced medical clinicians with masters-level practice degrees. In fact, these practitioners perform all of Viva’s cosmetic injectables, including Dysport, Kybella, Sculptra, and dermal filler treatments (Juvederm & Restylane). If you’re looking for a Botox doctor in Austin, look no further than Viva Day Spa + Med Spa.

Quick and minimally invasive, your mid-level medical injector (nurse practitioner or physician assistant) will inject Botox with a very small needle directly into the muscles that need to be relaxed. Any discomfort at the injection site should be very minimal. You might feel a slight residual stinging immediately after your Botox injections. A small bump may also appear where the injection occurs, but that will quickly fade.

After five minutes, your face will look nearly identical to how it looked when you walked into Viva, with the exception of some redness if you have sensitive skin. Typically, you can return back to work or normal activity immediately post-treatment. On a scale from 1-10, most guests rate it a 1-2.

Botox results typically last 3-4 months.

How often you need Botox treatments is slightly different for every individual. Our bodies metabolize the botulism toxin injections at different rates. Muscle mass, age and your desired outcome also help determine the ideal treatment protocol.

For optimal results, you will need Botox injections at regular intervals every 3-4 months.

It is very common to feel slight heaviness or pressure in the treated area after Botox injections. Some people experience temporary side effects like a mild headache on the treatment day and the day after.

Slight redness and bruising may also occur at the injection sites. Most people experience no side effects at all and return back to work or their daily activities immediately post-treatment.

A Botox unit is the amount of medicine that is injected into the specific treatment area. Botox dosage is measured in units and typically comes in 100 unit vials. For example, patients typically require 10-25 units for the vertical Glabellar lines, or “elevens” between the eyes.

Neuromodulators, like Botox, are widely used as a preventative measure to keep facial wrinkles from forming. With time, aging will deepen the lines and wrinkles on your face. More and more, younger adults are choosing Botox treatments in their mid 20s and early 30s to prevent wrinkles and lines from taking hold

Eighteen (18) is minimum age to receive Botox treatments at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa in Austin.

Botox and Dysport are both neuromodulators with similar benefits and outcomes. Their formulas are different, which means one might be more effective for some treatment areas than the other — and visa versa.

Also, our bodies metabolize and respond differently. That’s why some patients who haven’t realized the results they desire with Botox report that Dysport works well for them. Viva’s experienced cosmetic injection specialists will help you decide with one is right for you.

A lip flip is a non-surgical procedure that uses a small dose of Botox to relax muscles above the upper lip. This causes the upper lip to curl (or flip) upward and create the appearance of naturally fuller lips. It takes about a week to see results.

How Much Is a Lip Flip? 

A lip flip costs $100 in Austin at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa.

How Long Does A Lip Flip Last? 

A lip flip typically lasts 4-6 weeks. The results wear off more quickly because the lips are actively used for making expressions, eating, etc.

Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler

Lip filler adds volume to make your lips look plumper in shape and size. It also helps smooth the lines around them. Results are immediate with lip filler and can last up to a year. At Viva Day Spa + Med Spa, lip filler costs $700. It’s less than a full year of lip flips if you came in every 6 weeks. ($850 = 8.5 visits x $100).
