Botox & Xeomin
Soften lines while keeping your expression. Refreshed, never frozen.
How long does Botox last?
Most clients enjoy results for about 3–4 months, depending on metabolism, treatment area, and muscle activity.
Will Botox make my face look frozen?
No. Our approach focuses on softening lines while preserving natural movement and expression.
What is the difference between Botox and Xeomin?
Both are neurotoxins that relax the muscles that cause expression lines. We will talk through which fits your goals during your consultation.
Is Botox safe?
Botox is FDA-approved and safe when administered by trained medical professionals. Every treatment at Pretty Rad is performed by a licensed nurse practitioner.
How soon can I see results?
You will usually notice changes within 3–7 days, with full results around two weeks.
How long until I see results?
Masseter results build gradually over a few weeks as the muscle relaxes and softens.
How long does it last?
Results typically last a few months and vary by person. Repeat treatments help maintain them.
Is this treatment right for TMJ?
Many people with clenching or muscle-related jaw tension benefit, but TMJ has many causes. We will tell you whether this is appropriate during your consultation.
Does a lip flip make lips bigger?
It does not add volume. It lets the upper lip curl slightly outward so more of the lip shows.
Will it affect eating or speaking?
A small dose is used, but you may notice slight differences, for example with straws, for a short period. We will go over what to expect.
How long does a lip flip last?
Usually a shorter time than other Botox areas. We will discuss realistic timing at your visit.
How long do injectable results last?
Results vary by treatment, but most Botox results last about 3–4 months and fillers about 6–18 months depending on area and product.
Dermal Fillers
Lips, cheeks, jawline and chin, balanced to your features.
How long does filler last?
Results vary by area and product, but fillers typically last about 6–18 months.
Will I look overdone?
Not with our approach. We start conservatively and build only if you want more.
Does filler hurt?
We use numbing and gentle technique so that most clients find it very tolerable.
Can I get filler on my first visit?
Yes, after a consultation confirms it is appropriate for your goals and medical history.
How long does lip filler last?
Hyaluronic acid lip filler typically lasts several months to a year or more, depending on the product, how much was used, and your metabolism.
Will my lips look overdone?
Not with our approach. We start conservatively and build only if you want more, so the result stays in proportion with your face.
Does lip filler hurt?
Lips are sensitive, so we use numbing and gentle technique. Most clients find it very manageable.
Can lip filler be reversed?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed.
How long do cheek and jawline fillers last?
Structural fillers in these areas commonly last longer than lip filler, often about a year or more depending on the product and your anatomy.
Will I look different or “done”?
The goal is a refreshed, balanced look. We use a conservative approach so people notice you look well, not that you had filler.
Can I combine this with Botox?
Often yes. Filler restores structure and Botox softens movement lines, and together they can complement each other.
Am I a candidate for undereye filler?
It depends on the cause of your concern. Hollowing responds well, while puffiness or pigmentation may need a different approach. We will tell you honestly at your consultation.
How long do results last?
This varies by product and your anatomy. We will give you a realistic expectation at your visit.
Is it safe?
The undereye is a delicate area, which is why we use a conservative approach and a licensed nurse practitioner performs every treatment.
