Frequently Asked Questions

What is Botox? What is Dysport? How are they different?

Botox and Dysport are both used to treat and prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and deep facial furrows. By working beneath the surface, Botox and Dysport help reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes the skin to appear wrinkled or folded.

How much does Botox/Dysport cost?

Botox and Dysport cost $10/unit. While there are a wide variety of treatments that use Botox and Dysport, treatments are usually between 35-60 units.

When will I see results?

Results are visible within 24-48 hours, but take 2 weeks to have full affect.

How long do results last?

Results from Botox are not permanent. Effects usually last about 3-4 months.

How many treatments will I need?

Botox will only need one single treatment to show results, with a quick 2 week follow up to ensure you are 100% satisfied. However, results last about 3-4 months, therefore treatments can continue upon this timeline for as long as the patient desires.

Will I need time to recover?

Bruising is possible, plan 2 weeks ahead of any events/vacations.

What is Filler?

The facial fillers used at BARDÖT are made from hyaluronic acid. The use of fillers can eliminate wrinkles, plump and hydrate lips, replace soft-tissue volume loss, raise scar depressions, and volumize creases and folds of the face. As we age, our skin becomes more susceptible to wrinkles and fine lines, especially due to sun damage and muscle movement. Facial fillers provide a solution to such damage through facial injections.

How much does Filler cost?

Because everyone’s needs are different a personal consultation is the best way to establish cost. With that in mind, filler treatments start at $450. This cost not only reflects the price of the product, but also the skill, knowledge and expertise of the medical injector. We do not price match.

When will I see results?

Results are visible immediately after treatment. The healing process then begins which involves swelling for about 3-7 days depending on the amount injected, area injected, and how your body reacts to the procedure. The product then settles and you’ll enjoy your final results about 2-3 weeks after injections. Please give yourself a minimum of 2 weeks before any events or vacations in case of residual bruising and swelling.

How long do results last?

Longevity differs from person to person and from treatment to treatment. Because the product is being injected into the body, some bodies may metabolize the product faster than others. See below for average longevity based on treatment:

Belkyra® is used to permanently diminish small pockets of fat on the body such as a double chin, bra bulges, inner thigh fat, and belly fat. In the US it is sold under the trade name Kybella.

How does Belkyra® work?

The active ingredient in Belkyra® is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected Belkyra destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected.

You will need at least 2-4 treatments of Belkyra®, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Pricing is based on the size of he area being treated. Treatments start at $1000.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your fat and your personal treatment goals.

Will I need time to recover?

Bruising and swelling is common. Give yourself a minimum of 2 weeks before any events/vacations.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet Rich Plasma is the perfect solution to stimulate cell growth within the body. The patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and then used for treatment. The benefits of PRP can be used to stimulate hair growth, diminish the appearance of scarring and encourage the body’s production of collagen.

How does PRP work?

Plasma is a component of our blood and contains proteins which help the blood to clot and support cell growth. Platelets are found within the blood and are responsible for recognizing and repairing damaged cells by forming a plug, or clot. PRP Treatments use the body’s own healing processes to rejuvenate the skin and promote new cell growth.
