Let me explain.
✨Tox takes a full two weeks to kick in. This is exactly why I won’t see you for a dose adjustment before then. Be patient, and then we reassess.
✨Sometimes you come in convinced you need a specific treatment when you actually don’t. My job is to make sure your time and money go toward what will genuinely address your concern—not just what sounds right or what you saw on tik Tok.
✨The most “frozen” you’ll feel is at the 2–4 week mark. After that, tox slowly wears off and movement gradually returns. Having movement at 6 weeks is completely normal. You won’t be frozen solid for 3 months.
✨The only tool we have in the injectable world to address real volume loss is filler. Jawline, cheekbones, jowls—I can’t move the needle on those without at least some of it. That’s just the reality.
✨What’s the difference between TEMU and Louis Vuitton? You already know. The same logic applies here—except it’s your face and there are real medical risks involved. Cheap rarely equals experience, safety, or results.
✨Your face contains an incredibly complex, variable network of arteries, veins, and small vessels. Bruising is never 100% avoidable—I always do my best, but it’s part of the deal sometimes.
