Frequently Asked Questions
Facial Aesthetics
-
The injector injects a small amounts of purified botulinum toxin into targeted muscles. This reduces fine line and wrinkles for a temporary time period. This effect is typically lasts for 3-4 months.
-
At MAC, we aim to have natural results. Our goal is to inject just enough to weaken and relax the targeted muscles without affecting other muscles. This allows patients to maintain their most natural but enhanced appearance.
-
We advise a 3 month minimum wait time or when your lines and wrinkles return. With repeat treatments, the muscle may thin, leading to longer-lasting results.
-
The neurotoxin takes approximately 3-5 days to set in but it can take up to 2 weeks to take full effect. We offer refinements at the 2 week mark.
-
Most people return to the everyday activities immediately. The small injection points may be red for 15 minutes. There is always a potential for bruising that will subside.
-
To prevent the injected substance from spreading to areas where you do not want it, you’ll need to take a few precautions:
Do not rub or massage the areas where you received the injections.
If you apply makeup a few hours later, take care not to press or rub it in.
Avoid strenous work out or sweating for the first 24 hours.
-
If a patient develops side effects, these tend to be mild and temporary. The injections, rather than the botulinum toxin itself, causes most the mild side effects.
After receiving injections, people have experienced:
Swelling
Redness
Soreness
Bruising
Mild headache (uncommon)
Weakness in a neighboring muscle, leading to a temporarily droopy brow or eyelid (rare)
Signs and symptoms of botulism, including problems breathing, swallowing, or speaking (very rare)
Weight Loss
-
Lipotropic injections contain a formula full of amino acids like choline, methionine, and inositol. The formula also has substantial concentrations of B12 and B5 vitamins. Together, these nutrients can improve the way your body’s metabolism functions by making it easier for your liver to break down and digest fat.
These injections require supervision from a weight loss specialist to ensure proper dosage and usage.Top benefits include increased energy levels, hormone balance management, liver detoxification and improvement with weight loss.

You’ll notice a decline in your weight, an increase in your energy level, and improvements in other aspects of your health, like lower cholesterol levels and a reduced risk for heart disease.
-

On average, people lose between two and four pounds a week with lipotropic injections. Still, these results usually include a diet and exercise regimen with the injections.
-
Lipotropic injections aren’t invasive, and many people have success with them. Still, every supplement and medication carries the risk of side effects. That includes lipotropic injections. Side effects to the treatment that may occur but are rate in most cases include pain or tenderness at the injection site, headaches, allergic reaction like hives or swelling, nausea or diarrhea.
These problems rarely occur but you should discuss the possibility of complications with your weight loss specialist during your initial consultation. Depending on the variant of the injection provided and your medical history, more individualized advice and guidance can be given by your Provider.
