- How much does Botox cost in Austin?
- At The Wellness House, Botox, Xeomin and Letybo are $10 a unit and Dysport and Daxxify are $8.50 a unit, both with a 20-unit minimum. A typical treatment of the frown lines between the brows runs about 20 units, so roughly $170 to $200 depending on the product. If you're treating the forehead, the 11s and crow's feet together, The House All-You-Need Tox is $399 flat for up to 45 units, which usually comes in below per-unit pricing.
- How long does Botox last?
- Three to four months is typical for Botox, Xeomin, Letybo and Dysport. Daxxify is the exception — it's FDA-approved for extended duration and can last up to six months for some people. How long yours lasts depends on your metabolism, how strong the treated muscles are, your dose, and how consistently you've been treated before.
- What's the difference between Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Xeomin and Letybo?
- They're all neurotoxins that relax muscle, but they differ in how they're formulated, how far they spread, how quickly they start working and how long they last. Dysport spreads more, which suits broad areas like the forehead. Xeomin is purified without additive proteins, which can help if you've built tolerance to another product. Daxxify lasts longest. Units are not interchangeable between brands — Daxxify takes roughly twice the units of Botox for the same effect — so compare the cost of a treatment, not the price of a unit.
- Does Botox hurt?
- Most people describe it as a quick pinch or sting that lasts a second or two per injection, and the whole treatment takes about ten minutes. We can apply topical numbing or ice if you'd like. We won't tell you it's painless, because that isn't true for everyone.
- Will Botox make me look frozen?
- Not the way we dose it. Looking frozen comes from too many units in the wrong places, not from neurotoxin itself. Our whole approach is undetectable — softened lines with your expressions intact. If you'd prefer even less movement affected, say so at your consultation; it's easier to add more at your two-week check than to undo too much.
- How soon can I get Botox before an event?
- Give yourself two weeks. Results settle around day fourteen, and that also leaves room for a touch-up if you need one. If you bruise, two weeks is comfortably enough time for it to clear.
- What should I avoid before and after?
- For a day or two before, skipping fish oil, ibuprofen, aspirin and alcohol lowers your chance of bruising — but never stop a medication your doctor prescribed without asking them first. Afterwards, stay upright for four hours and skip the gym, saunas, hot yoga and facials for twenty-four hours.
- Can I start preventative Botox in my twenties?
- Yes, and plenty of our clients do. The reasoning is that softening a muscle before it has etched a permanent line into the skin means less correction later. It isn't necessary for everyone, though — if your lines only appear when you move and vanish at rest, we'll tell you if we think you can wait.
