RECOVERY TIME: REDNESS AND BUMPS SUBSIDED 5-10 MINUTES AFTER TREATMENT. POSSIBLE BRUISING CAN LAST A FEW DAYS DEPENDING ON YOUR BODY.
NOTICEABLE RESULTS: EFFECTS CAN BE NOTICED AS LITTLE AS 24 HOURS. FULL RESULTS ARE SEEN AT ABOUT 2 WEEKS FOLLOWING TREATMENT.
TOUCH-UP: TOUCH-UPS SHOULD BE DONE AT THE 2-WEEK MARK WHEN NEUROTOXIN IS AT ITS PEAK.

PRE CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • If approved by your primary care provider, avoid blood thinners for one week before your injection. This includes Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Garlic, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Ginkgo Biloba, and Primrose Oil.
  • Refrain from alcohol for 1–2 days before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
  • Bruising is always a possibility. Taking Arnica beforehand is optional and may help minimize bruising.
  • Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face if possible.
  • Neurotoxin treatments will not be administered if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Avoid Botox/Dysport if you have a neuromuscular disorder.
  • Botox/Dysport is a medication:
  • More units = stronger effect & less movement once fully active.
  • Fewer units = more movement once fully active.
  • More units = longer-lasting results.

POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
  • Preferably, do not apply makeup for at least 4 hours after treatment, waiting 24 hours is ideal.
  • Remain upright for at least 4 hours post-treatment.
  • Avoid massaging or putting pressure on the treated area for 24 hours. If your forehead was treated, avoid wearing a tight hat.
  • Be patient—full results develop over two weeks. Additional Botox/Dysport will not be administered within this time.
  • Schedule a follow-up after two weeks if you need adjustments.
  • Results typically last 3–4 months, but some movement may return between 6–10 weeks.
  • If bruising occurs, continue avoiding alcohol for 1–2 days as it may worsen the bruising.
  • Some patients find that taking Arnica after treatment helps speed up bruise healing.

Call the office at 801.557.5200 immediately if the treatment areas become red or hot to the touch in the days following treatment.

I’ve been using Nuance Aesthetics for years and cannot recommend them more. The office is warm and inviting and every single staff member is so kind and truly makes you feel at home. Dr. Rhudy is exceptionally knowledgeable and always has time to squeeze me in his schedule. Jill is a jewel. And Jess always takes care of getting me on the books and all of my skincare needs. I no longer live in town full time but still come to Nuance Aesthetics for all of my med spa needs. They have also switched my skin care to all ZO products and my complexion has never looked better. I cannot thank everyone on the Nuance staff enough!

Jenny F.
Nuance Aesthetics made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Today was my first facial treatment of all time, and I went for microneedling with Kaira. She was as so sweet and answered all my questions, and she walked me through the process to ease my nerves. The treatment was just about pain-free, and I'm excited to heal and see results.
All in all, it was a great experience, and I would definitely return again!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad Kaira made your first treatment a great experience. Can’t wait to see you again soon!

I have struggled with cystic acne that left significant damage to my skin, leading me to be extremely cautious about where and from whom I seek treatment. Over the years, I have received care from dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and estheticians, and through my experiences, I have learned the importance of expertise and trust.

Katie Hughes at Nuance Aesthetics is truly exceptional. Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to her clients set her apart. She takes the time to thoroughly explain the benefits and potential risks of various treatments, ensuring informed decisions are made. Her expertise has been invaluable in helping me improve my skin.

f someone has a negative experience, it is important to recognize the role of personal choices in treatment outcomes. Katie provides expert guidance, but ultimately, decisions rest with the individual. I highly recommend Katie to anyone seeking a skilled and knowledgeable esthetician who genuinely cares about her clients and their skin health.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your journey and those kind words! We're really touched by your trust in Katie and so glad you've had such a positive experience.
Holly K.
I cannot recommend Nuance Aesthetics enough! The clinic is professional, clean, and welcoming—but what truly sets it apart is Gohar. She is incredibly skilled, attentive, and genuinely cares about her clients. Every visit feels like a personalized experience, and I always leave feeling confident and refreshed. Gohar takes the time to listen and tailor treatments perfectly. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also kind and compassionate, Gohar is the one. Thank you, Nuance, for always providing top-notch care!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review! We are so glad you had a great experience with us and we can't wait to see you again soon!
