Botox is a simple protein that is expertly injected into selected muscles to temporarily relax them, helping to soften unwanted fine lines and wrinkles. Botox lasts for three to four months. Treatments usually take between 15 and 30 minutes to administer. The muscle will begin to weaken around the third day, and the Botox will be at full effect within 7 to 10 days.

Electrolysis is another type of hair removal, and is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body. This device destroys the growth center of the hair with heat energy. After a very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, the heat is delivered to the follicle, and the hair is removed with tweezers. This method is great for blonde, gray, white, and red hairs since laser hair removal does not work with these hair colors.
Pain Level: Medium to High
Aftercare: A cooling gel like aloe may be applied as well as ice to pull the heat out of the skin. No heavy creams, Neosporin, or Vaseline should be applied after electrolysis.
Pricing: $20 for 15 - 20 minutes
