- Katherine's approach
-
Katherine starts with a conservative dose. If the result is lighter than you want once it settles, more units can be added at a follow up visit. She carries all three products, explains how they differ, and lets you choose.
If the underlying concern is proportion, she may suggest facial balancing before adding more units.
- Who it's for
-
Adults bothered by expression lines that linger at rest, or who want to slow new ones from settling in. Treatment is postponed during pregnancy or while nursing.
- The process
-
Arrive with clean, makeup free skin so your lines can be read clearly. Katherine maps the treatment, then completes the injections in a few minutes. Most patients feel a small pinch at each point, with no numbing needed.
Change usually shows in 5 to 7 days, with the full result around day 14.
- Downtime
-
Aftercare is short: no lying down for four hours, then no exercise or alcohol for 24 hours, and no facials for one week. Temporary redness or minor bruising at the injection sites can occur.
Results typically hold 3 to 6 months. The exact stretch depends on the area treated, your muscle strength, and how your body responds.
