Botox & Dysport

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions by patients seeking treatment with Injectables & Facial Aesthetics.

  • Will I still look like myself?
    Yes. Our approach is natural, conservative, and customized. The goal is to soften lines while keeping your facial expressions and personality. You will look like you — just more rested.
  • How many syringes does jawline filler take?
    Often two to four across the jaw and chin, depending on your starting point and how much definition you want. We build in stages.
  • How long does it last?
    Results start in 3–7 days and reach full effect by two weeks. On average, results last 3–4 months, depending on dose, muscle strength, and metabolism.
  • Is this the same as surgical jaw contouring?
    No. Surgery changes the bone permanently. Non-surgical contouring uses filler and Botox, is done in under an hour, has no downtime and is reversible. For many people it achieves the look they want without an operation.
  • Is it safe?
    When performed by a trained medical professional, neurotoxins have an excellent safety record and have been used safely for decades. We review your medical history to ensure treatment is appropriate for you.
  • How much does it cost?
    Pricing is based on:

    • number of units used

    • treatment area

    • product type

    A personalized plan and cost estimate are reviewed before treatment, so there are no surprises.

Botox & Dysport

Soften Lines • Keep Expression • Physician-Supervised

Softer lines, same you.

Botox, Dysport and Letybo are injectable wrinkle relaxers. A few minimally invasive injections soften the lines that appear when you frown, squint or raise your eyebrows. With the right dose in the right place, your face still moves and still looks like you, just more rested.

At Valoura Med Spa every treatment is planned and overseen by a board-certified physician. Our clinic is at 206 Burwash Avenue, Suite B in Savoy, a short drive from Champaign and Urbana.

BOTOX, DYSPORT OR LETYBO? WE OFFER ALL THREE

Three options, chosen for you.

All three are neuromodulators. They block the signal from the nerve to a small facial muscle, so the muscle relaxes and the line it creates softens.

Botox, Dysport and Letybo are botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators. They differ in formulation, dosing and other product characteristics, and their units are not interchangeable. Your physician selects the product and dose based on the treatment area, your anatomy, muscle activity, treatment goals and previous response.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Consultation → Treatment → Results → Follow-up
  1. Consultation: we look at how your face moves, talk through what bothers you and check your medical history. You get a plan and a cost estimate before anything is injected.
  2. Treatment: about 10–20 minutes. The needle is very fine. Numbing cream and vibration anesthesia are available if you are nervous about discomfort.
  3. Results: many patients see a change within the first week, with the full effect at about two weeks.
  4. Follow-up: we see you at about two weeks and offer a touch-up when clinically indicated. Over time we build a plan around how long your results last, so you are not guessing when to come back.
