Typically immediately following the injections, the injection site may become slightly red and tender and slightly red. This is a normal reaction that the body has to both the needle and the BOTOX® solution. These reactions usually subside within a few hours to a day after the treatment.

More serious side effects can happen but are extremely rare. These reactions can include severe allergic reactions, skin rashes, dizziness or trouble breathing. We will provide you with all the information regarding this prior to your treatment.

The results are typically at their best shortly following treatment (a few days or so). Over time the results become less noticeable as your body gradually removes the neuro-toxin from the muscle tissues over time returning complete movement to the treated muscles.

BOTOX® is designed to be re-injected about every 3 to 4 months. Once you begin treatment our office automatically reminds you when it is time or your next treatment.

BOTOX® is sold per unit and the prices vary depending on factors such as where you are buying it, the amount you are buying, the areas being treated and whether or not there are promos or specials going on.

Typically most places charge about $15/unit as standard pricing. However, At James Christian Cosmetics we are proud to offer some of the most competitive rates for BOTOX® in the New York City area.

In general, we offer BOTOX® for a low as $12 per unit (in 20 unit blocks). This amount can even be less depending on if there are promotions running, if you are a first time patient, if you are buying it as part of a service bundle (like James Christian’s Cocktail), you are buying a long term treatment plan (1 year or more) or your are buying a large number of units at one time.

This is why we highly recommend that you come in for a consultation where we can custom create a treatment plan for you at the best possible price.

There are a lot of factors to keep in mind when considering BOTOX® or cosmetic surgery in NYC. We’ve written out a few of the biggest comparison points here that you can consider. Of course this is not an all-inclusive comparison and you should still do your own research but this should at least give you a good starting point.

BOTOX®

• Lower Cost –  Treatments can cost a little as a couple hundred dollars. Even though the cost of regular treatments may add up over time, many find it easier to budget for rather than a single large upfront cost.
• Temporary Results – Results are temporary which allows you the ability to test different treatments over time to find what works best.
• Minor Side Effects And Little Risk – Typical side effects are minor such as headaches, mild nausea, mild pain at the site of the injection…etc. (contact us for all possible side effects). More severe allergic reactions can happen but are rare.
• Virtually No Recovery Time – Most can continue with their day immediately after treatment. Pain/swelling/redness usually subsides within hours to a couple days after treatment.
• Practically Instant Results – Results from injections can be seen almost immediately and improve over the next few days as swelling and redness goes away.

COSMETIC SURGERY

• Higher Cost – Surgeries such as facelifts, eye lifts, rhinoplasty…etc. cost thousands of dollars. Many people can require financing to pay for treatment.
• Results Are Permanent – This is a double edged sword. If your results are good it’s nice that they will last permanently. But if your results are not good you’re pretty much stuck with them (unless you want to pay for another surgery).
• Higher Risk Of Complications Or Infection – Depending on the surgery your are getting you may need to be put under general anesthesia which comes with additional risks. Additionally with any cuts that are done there is inherent risk of infection.
• Longer Recovery Time – Depending on the procedure you get done you may need a few weeks or more to fully recover.
• Results Are Slow – It can take weeks or months for full effect of your procedure to be seen.
