I had a fantastic experience here. I received Botox and filler with amazing results. The staff was professional, friendly, and the facility is just gorgeous. I will be back for certain! They consulted with me prior to the procedure and accessed my muscle activity. The Botox was placed directly in the lines that were frustrating me. My children had asked me why I looked angry all the time but now I just look rested. I feel more confident with my appearance. I will say the procedure was painless. Apparently Nurse Practitioners know how to inject pretty well.
I am 5 ft 7 and 162 lbs. I wear a size 8 in jeans. I have lost 40 lbs and have lost weight everywhere but my stomach. I'm hoping to reduce my lower pooch and maybe my flanks if they have any pricing specials. My consultation is today. They said they will also check to make sure I don't have any hernias prior to the service. I will post before pictures later. Updated on 26 Jul 2018: Consult went well! They had a buy 4 applicators get 4 free special. I purchased 16- 8 to be used on my lower stomach (second set to be performed 8 weeks out), 4 on my flanks, and 4 TBD. My procedure is today, since they said to avoid the sun on the area 2 weeks leading up to the procedure. I am going to CA next week and didn't want to have to avoid the sun. Everyone was very sweet and knowledgeable. I haven't had coffee today, since coffee can increase pain (a tip I learned from my waxer). I will post before pictures shortly Updated on 26 Jul 2018: First set of treatments are done! I got up to 1.25 for each set. My flanks hurts less than my lower stomach. I have a follow up in 6 weeks scheduled. I have attached some pictures Updated on 26 Jul 2018: One thing the NP said is that the day after, some people experience an oily poop. In all of my research, this is the first I have heard of this! Did anyone experience this? Updated on 26 Jul 2018: One thing the NP said is that the day after, some people experience an oily poop. In all of my research, this is the first I have heard of this! Did anyone experience this? Updated on 27 Jul 2018: Feeling good today. My lower stomach is sore. It feels like a bruise. I dont have any pain on my flanks. I feel really bloated and I dont have any nodules. I have been massaging throughout the day. Updated on 29 Jul 2018: My lower abs are still sore. I don't feel anything on my flanks. I have been massaging throughout the day and chugging water. I never did get the oily poop like the NP said. I measured around my waist and I'm currently measuring at 39 inches. I plan to measure again in 2 weeks. I have another appointment scheduled in 6 weeks. I am going to make a point to wear exactly what I had on from my first appointment in hopes to better monitor my progress. Updated on 30 Jul 2018: My lower stomach does not feel as tender. My sides never did hurt. I hope that it does not impact my outcome. I massage every time I pee, which is a lot since I have increased my water intake. No noticable results yet, but wasn't expecting any this early. Updated on 2 Aug 2018: Officially 1 week in! I do feel a little poofy, but the bruise like pain has subsided a lot. That little twinge of pain would remind me to massage. Now that I don't have it I've been slacking! I have been drinking 90 oz of water a day, and even went in a sauna for 20 mins (figured it couldn't hurt). I have a bruise on my hip but I think its self inflicted due to all of the massaging. Updated on 27 Aug 2018: I feel like my before looks better than my current state. My measurements are still the same. I still have a couple weeks before I will really see results, but was hoping for a sneak peak! I go back for my second round the first part of September. Updated on 6 Sep 2018: Today is 6 weeks since my first treatment. The skin on my lower abs look tighter. I made a point to wear the same underwear and pants that I wore during my first treatment. I feel like I have less of a muffin top. Still pretty early though. I was hoping the second round would be less painful-it was not! Made it to 1.2 and was gritting my teeth a few times. I decided to use my last 4 pads on my inner thigh. Holy hell that hurt! I think a lot of my discomfort came from the position I had to be in the entire time. My back and hips were hurting by the end. I will post pictures later tonight
